Filtering dates in visual that is based on time.

Hello, 

 

I have a following datasheet.

Date6:056:457:108:008:359:159:5010:2511:00
1.1.2022         
2.1.2022         
3.1.2022323657758
4.1.2022435547789
5.1.202232475669,56
6.1.20229  3  9  
7.1.2022431758848
8.1.20229  9,5  9,5  
9.1.20227  4  8  

(The dates and times go further.)

 

I transposed the data to create a visual using the specific times as a x-axis. After calculating averages and "usage" it looks like this based on the times.

I would like to know if there is a possibility filter that data with my dates. The dates in this configuration are now headers so my timetable can't understand them. I know I am missing something big. Any answer or guidance to a different way to configurate the data would be highly appreciated. 

 

The data which I used to create the visual looks like this:

So basically I just transposed the table. I think that there is a more simple way to create the visual without transposing so that I can use datetable as a slicer without problems. Thanks for any help.

Did you try unpivot option ?

Once unpivoted, you can use both columns (Date & Time) for slicing and dicing

Thank you!

Hi, I have two tables of the same data. One is transposed and one is in its original format (The first datasheet in original post). With original data, I can create visuals that are based on dates but I want to spefically use the times as x-axis and as a base for the visual. Thank you!
