Hi!
We have a report that tracks our warehouse ETL jobs. This is an example table of the jobs:
| Job# | Start | End |
| 1 | 12/15/22 7:00am | 12/15/22 8:00am |
| 2 | 12/15/22 7:23am | 12/15/22 7:50am |
| 3 | 12/15/22 7:45am | 12/15/22 8:33am |
| 4 | 12/15/22 9:44am | 12/15/22 10:30am |
I am trying to solve for the following:
1. I would like to have a chart that shows how many jobs were running at every minute
| Date/Time | # jobs running |
| 12/15/22 7:22 am | 1 |
| 12/15/22 7:23 am | 2 |
| ... | |
| 12/15/22 7:50 am | 3 |
| 12/15/22 7:51 am | 2 |
2. I would also like to be able to select MULTIPLE date/times (from a slicer) and see which jobs were running (to look for similarities)
User selects: 12/15/22 7:30am & 12/15/22 10:02am
Results:
| Jobs |
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 4 |
Ideally, I would love to have a graph that shows all the jobs running for each minute with the ability to multiselect time ranges (and then return which jobs are in that selection), but I can't find anything on the appstore that exists like this:
Thank you so much for your help in advance!

@joyhackett , You need a date table with date and minute, you can generate that using List.DateTimes
Power Query- List.DateTimes- https://youtu.be/3UBxsIvlcRQ
Give duration as #duration(0,0,1,0)
You can keep that as an independent table and have measures like
CALCULATE(COUNTx(FILTER(Table,Table[Start]<=max('DateTime'[DateTime]) && Table[End]>max('DateTime'[DateTime])),Table[Job #]))
you can refer for formula
Between Dates - Dates between
Measure way

Thank you so much!
I went a slightly different route and generated a List.DateTime in PowerQuery and created a new table with all the possible datetimes. Your method is MUCH cleaner!
