Generate a boolean column ifor the last hour

Hi, I have this streaming dataset (Assume current time is 10:50:00 AM)

TimeValuesLast hour
09:42:13 AM1No
10:24:56 AM-1Yes

How can I generate the last column? This dataset is refreshed every 30 minutes, so some values in this column change automatically whenever the data is refreshed.

Thanks!

Hi @quikin5 ,

 

Please try to use the below-calculated column, and it works on my desktop and you don't need to worry about the midnight issue I think.

 

Last Hour = IF(HOUR(Your_Time_Column + 1/24) = HOUR(NOW()),"Yes","No") 

 

Thanks.

Hi @quikin5 

smth like

 

Last hour = 
IF(DATEDIFF([Time], TIME(), HOUR) < 2, "Yes", "No")

 

but it is going to produce issue at midnight level. you should define how it should work at 00:30 without Date column

as you asked for boolean better so

Last hour = 
IF(DATEDIFF([Time], TIME(), HOUR) < 2, TRUE(), FALSE())
