Downsampling data

Hi all,

 

I want to downsample my data from every second to every minute/hour. I have splitted the Date and Time from DateTime and tried grouping it by per min/hour but I cannot figure out how to select, say 12:00:00am data in the 12:00:00pm - 12:00:59pm, and every minute data after. I just want to take out a data at a fixed interval without the need to sum, average or do any other operations to be shown in the visual.

Any help or advice will be appreciated, thank you

Hi @JrKoh ,

 

You can create a calculated column like

 

 

Time = TIME(HOUR([DateTime]),MINUTE([DateTime]),0)

Hi Stephen,

With your solution in mind, I found a way to downsample the data. I created 2 calculated column, Time_1min and Time_H and wrote another DAX measure and put it into the chart filter. I then key in the number into the filter to determine which sampling:

 

Downsample =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
SUM(Sensor[Time]) == SUM(Sensor[Time_H]),1,
SUM(Sensor[Time]) == SUM(Sensor[Time_1min]),3
)
