Counts by Conditional Format broken down by hour

I have a report created for current status of a manufacturing line.  They now want a count based on the conditional values or red, yellow or white, then broken down by hour.

 

Here is my current file - https://www.dropbox.com/s/33xiferalk3qxwt/CurrentStateHotChecks.pbix?dl=0

 

Would it be easier to make icons and count the icons?

no, it would not. The problem is that your color coding is a measure, not a calculated column. To provide an hourly breakdown will require writing all new measures, and it will require a disconnected table with the hours. You don't have a calendar table in your data model yet - that makes it even more difficult. I would recommend you fix your data model first. And second think about if it is possible to do the color coding as a calculated column instead.

It took me weeks to figure out that color scheme by DAX but it simply isn't a greater, less than.  There are ranges above and below that create those colors.  I hate to go back to the drawing board...but I guess that is what is will take. The hours table - understood.
