Conditional formatting for time

I"m looking for a way to do a conditional format on the table below. I have users who log in each day of the week. If they log in after 8:05:00 AM I want that day to highlighted in a Red.   Step 2 If possible then do a count of how red squares I have for that user.


23-Mar      24-Mar               25-Mar      26-Mar        27-Mar       30-Mar       31-Mar

8:15:00 AM 8:00:00 AM 8:01:00 AM 8:00:00 AM 7:59:00 AM 8:11:00 AM 7:56:00 AM

Try follow the steps:

1. In query editor, select the two columns and then unpivot:

2. Close apply, create a flag measure

 

flag = IF(SUM('Table'[Value])>TIMEVALUE("8:05:00"),1,0)

 

 

3. Create a conditional format for Value column, rule by the flag measure

So it worked for a few of the times & users before 8:06, you can see some of them are working. Not sure why that would be, The Time fieid is a Time Data Type.Annotation 2020-06-03 081623.png

This is strange, only 6:34:00 AM gets wrong value, I have spent sometime on creating a few samples and did not met that issue. I will follow up when I figure it out. And please leave a update if you fixed it too.

@ShawnPrice , Try that you can create a color measure for that and try conditional formatting using a measure

@ShawnPrice - Is your time an actual date/time or text? If it is actual date/time, then it is really a decimal number of 1/24/60/60 essentially and you could set you parameters accordingly.

The Data Type is Time, the Format is h:nn:ss AM/PM

@ShawnPrice - OK, then your threshold should be .33680555555555556. That is 1/24/60 * (8 * 60 + 5)
