How do you think of adjacent times as once?

Hi all,

I recently had a hard time.I need some help.

Use the count function to find that the time that is a few seconds apart is counted separately when counting the number of times.But for me, within a minute, they can be counted as one.

How do I design a measure?I can't use the count function and the count rows function to achieve satisfactory results.

hi @Yumikang ,

 

try like:

 

Count = 
COUNTROWS(
    SUMMARIZE(
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            data,
            "time2", FORMAT([entry time], "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm")
        ),
        [time2]
    )
)

 

 

It return 3 with such data:

Incase if you want to show the number of time instances occuring over an interval of a minute you can create a caulctated column that formats the datetime to "yyyy-dd-dd hh:mm"

Ft_Time = FORMAT('Table'[Time], "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm")

and then summarize the table 

MinuteCount = 
    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(            
            'Table'[Ft_Time],
            "Count",COUNT('1Table'[Ft_Time])
        
    )
