Countifs to filter if date = today()

Hi guys,

 

     Need your help with a newbie coming across from Excel.

 

     I need DAX to count if the entries were based on today.

     I've tried using Calculate along with Filter as I understand that's the alternative to Countifs so my DAX function were as follows:

    Would appreciate any help where I've gone wrong.

 

    I like to also create new measures based on the hour, for example, 8am - 9am, etc.

 

    Thanks in advance!

 

Cheers,

DT

@danny_tym , Create a date without timestamp

 

example

Date = [datetime].date
or
Date = date(year([datetime]),month([datetime]),day([datetime]))

 

Then it can work with today

 

or change filter like

filter(log, log[datetimeconerter] >=Today && log[datetimeconerter]  <today() +1 )

Thanks for the prompt response.

 

I added the extra column 'Date' through Power Query. 

 

Edit the formula and it turn up with this error:
