Help! Relative Time Filter - Between Hours

Hi guys, I have a table with a column of Date-Time.

 

I need to use that column to filter charts between recent hours. For example: Past 5 hours, 5-24 hours, 24-72 hours, etc
I can't see any way to filter between hours, only "include everything from X hours ago"

 

This is what I've been able to create:

Using variations of:

I've attached a PBX file to show it all in action: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vsF-tN9O1FYRInWWDqCxPC3dNt5Yv3eL/view 

Anyone have any ideas how to do this?

Hi  @StefanM  ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Hour =
DATEDIFF(MAX('Table'[date]),NOW(),HOUR)
Hour_Column =
var _1=DATEDIFF('Table'[date],NOW(),HOUR)
return
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    _1>0&&_1<=5,"0-5",
    _1>5&&_1<=24,"5-24",
    "24-72")

2. Create measure

count of resopnse =
CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Legend]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Legend]=MAX('Table'[Legend])))

3. Place Hour_Column in Axis, Legend in Legend, and count of resopnse in Values

You can add a calculated column

 

Interval = SWITCH(TRUE(),now()-'Table'[regDate]<5/24,"Last 5 hrs",now()-'Table'[regDate]<1,"5-24 hrs Ago",now()-'Table'[regDate]<3,"24-72 hrs Ago","72+ hrs Ago")

 

BUT! There are lots of buts here. This would require you to have a Direct Query data connection or a very frequent dataset refresh. It also works against local time which comes with its own big bag of hurt.
