How to create a dax function to create calculated column based on time range

From the below date column a new calculated column 'shift_id, is needed

rafiql09_0-1674116882625.png

if the time is 8am to 9am time shift_id is 1

if the time is 7am to 8am shift_id is 5

if the time is 4pm to5pm shift_id is 10

 

within the same date, date would be filtered based on power bi slicer though.

etc...

Hi @rafiql09 

 

For this you need to add a new calculated column wiht a sintax similar to:

 

=if Time.Hour([Column1])>=7 and Time.Hour([Column1])<8 then 5 else if Time.Hour([Column1]) >=8 and Time.Hour([Column1]) < 9 then 1 else if Time.Hour([Column1]) >=16 and Time.Hour([Column1]) < 17 then 10 else null

Thanks @MFelix for the help. It raises syntax error which I could not fix.
