Count how many users logged in simultaneously

Hello,

 

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to determine how many computers are logged in at the same time throughout the day.  I'd like to create a graph with the x-axis being time (continuous) and the y-axis being a count of how many computers are logged in at that given time, granular down to the minute. 

 

My data table has columns: 

  • ComputerID
  • StartTime
  • EndTime

 

I've found some solutions daily and hourly time frames, but I'm looking to see how to do it by minute and don't know if that is something I need to play with in the Date table? 

 

Any help you could provide would be appreciated!

 

 
 
  • Hi kyleparsons4842 

    Yes, you have to create a datetime table with a minute step, smth like

     

    CalendarTable = addcolumns(
    generateseries(MIN('Table'[StartTime]), MAX('Table'[EndTime]), TIME (0,1,0 )), 
    "are logged", 
    calculate(count('Table'[ComputerID]), 'Table'[StartTime] <= EARLIER([Value]), 'Table'[EndTime]>=EARLIER([Value])))

      Thank you az38 !  

       

      This works! Thanks for the help! Only problem is that I can only get a couple days worth of data to work because I keep getting an error saying not enough memory.  Would you happen to know of a way that I can do the "are logged" column in a measure instead?

        the better way to decrease memory consumption is to increase step of calculate to, for example 5 or 10 minutes.

        I dont see any other appropriate way to get solution for your task with less resouces consumption
