How do I create a slicer that slices by hours/minutes?

I am trying to create a slicer that slicers by hours/minutes. I have data column in dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss format. Does anyone have any idea how I could do this?.

 

Thanks,

Best practice is to split your DateTime columns into Date and Time columns, and then add Date and Time tables to your model.  Please see this article and embedded videos.
