And, if you need to go from one day to the next (PM -> AM) then you will probably need to tweak the measure selector accordingly.

amandabus21 Whoops, missed a comma after the first SWITCH condition:

Time Selector Measure =
  VAR __Opened = MAX('Table'[Date Opened])
  VAR __MaxTime = MAX('TimeTable'[Hour])
  VAR __MinTime = MIN('TimeTable'[Hour])
  VAR __Time = __Opened - TRUNC(__Opened)
RETURN
  SWITCH(TRUE(),
    __Time >= __MaxTime, 1,
    __Time <= __MinTime && __Time >= 0, 1,
    0
  )

Greg_Deckler thank you. 

 

Now how can I use that measure to filter the time between 6PM - 7AM? 

 

Should I make a new column or is it supposed to be used a slicer?
