Find jobs that were running during specific times

Hi!

 

We have a report that tracks our warehouse ETL jobs.  This is an example table of the jobs:

 

Job#StartEnd
112/15/22 7:00am12/15/22 8:00am
212/15/22 7:23am12/15/22 7:50am
312/15/22 7:45am12/15/22 8:33am
412/15/22 9:44am12/15/22 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 am1
12/15/22 7:23 am2
... 
12/15/22 7:50 am3
12/15/22 7:51 am2


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

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!
