Hi
I need to group and count the number of values that occur within 1 second. I have a date_time down to nano seconds but its only showing the shortest time period of day. I also dont know how to group the data and aggregate the number of values within 1 second. Can someone help?
The data looks something like (i wont write in nanoseconds to make it easier to read)
date_time value
0 1.1
0.2 3.4
0.4 1.5
0.6 2.6
0.8 2.1
1.0 8.3
So the result from this should be one data point
second hits/second
1 6
Solved! Go to Solution.
Refer
New Column = if(TRUNC(time_mill_sec[date_time],0)=time_mill_sec[date_time],time_mill_sec[date_time],TRUNC(time_mill_sec[date_time],0)+1)
Create a new column
new Col = TRUNC(date_time,0) +1
You can use this column for grouping. and count the occurrences.

Hi @amitchandak
Thanks for the reply, I am new to powerbi so a bit confused. I have created the new column and put the new column as the x-axis in a scatter plot. I then chose my other values as the y and Counted. However it just shows a single point. How can I calculate the occurances per second? The new column with truncated values just gives a single number

You need to add code handle 0.
