Create column based on Time value in another column

I am trying to create a visual that will so how many items were inspected during a certain time period.

 

 

I'm thinking the easiest way to do this is create another column that will have TimeName, then I can create a visual that will count the TimeName during a day.  How do I create the column based on the records time being between two other times?  Or is there a better way of doing this. A sample of the time is below.

    Hi  hllary ,

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Create calculated column.

    Flag =
CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[TimeName]),filter('Table',[start]<=earlier('Table2'[date_insp_time]) &&[end]>= earlier('Table2'[date_insp_time])))


    New Column =
var _count=
COUNTX(FILTER( ALL('Table2'),'Table2'[Flag]=EARLIER('Table2'[Flag])),[Flag])
return
[Flag] &" "&_count&" Project"

    2. Result:

    Hi hllary  - I have created the following PBIX example to show how you can use Power Query syntax to find the Time Band.  Sample File   .  Please note the range removes the +1 second from the time ranges.

    Time Table

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCjFQ0lEytjIwACIgywzKitUBShkiCegoWSBLGSEJ6CgZGiDLGSOLAJlGVsYISRNkESDTBCYZCwA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Time Key" = _t, Start = _t, End = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Time Key", type text}, {"Start", type time}, {"End", type time}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

     

    Time Data

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjSyMjKwMjBQitUBcoyROGZWhqZwCQMrY4QqEysjiEwsAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Time = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Time", type time}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Add Time Key", (x) => Table.SelectRows(#"Time Table", each x[Time] >= [Start] and  x[Time] < [End] ){0}[Time Key] , type text)
in
    #"Added Custom"
