Counting items within a timeframe

Hello, I pulling data as an admin on datasets, when and what time they are refreshed. I am trying to count the number of datasets being refreshed every 30 min from 6AM to 10AM daily. I have a column for dataset name, date it was refreshed and start and end time for each one. Again, trying to determin number of items being refreshed every 30 min.

Hi, @monica2563 

Based on your description, I created the following sample data:

vjianpengmsft_0-1715573804479.png

You'll need to create a schedule like this:

vjianpengmsft_1-1715573864821.png

This schedule consists of 30-minute time slots from 6:00 to 10:00. You can use the following DAX expression to figure out which items are successfully refreshed every 30 minutes:

Refresh Count = 
VAR _seleted = SELECTEDVALUE(Table3[time])
VAR _start_time = FORMAT(TIMEVALUE(LEFT(_seleted,11)),"hh:mm:ss")
VAR _end_time = FORMAT(RIGHT(_seleted,11),"hh:mm:ss")
RETURN CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),
    FILTER('Table',
        FORMAT('Table'[Start Time],"hh:mm:ss")>=_start_time&&
        FORMAT('Table'[End Time],"hh:mm:ss")<=_end_time
    )
)

The results are as follows:

The above is a reference, and you can adjust it appropriately according to your actual situation. I've provided the PBIX file used this time below.
