IF Statements For Date and Time

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to create an IF statement by date and time to associate a shift letter to(A.B,C,D).

I have an end date column pulling from a table in this format: 10/21/2019 2:00:00 PM.

I would like to assign a shift to this date and time column.

If B shift is 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, then the example above would be assigned B shift.

I am connected via ODBC and using Power BI.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Change the Date column from your source to Datetime datatype in Edit queries

Add a custom column as below. Adjust the shift timings and conditions accordingly.

=if Time.Hour([Column1])>=0 and Time.Hour([Column1])<11 then "A" else if Time.Hour([Column1]) >=12 and Time.Hour([Column1]) < 18 then "B" else "C"

I tested the above code with sample data and it works.

But do change the condition as per your need.

I am doing somthing wrong. I am getting a syntax for 'Time' is incorrect error.

Here is the forumla with my column inserted:

Shift = if Time.Hour([AM_PRODUCTION_RESULT[END_DATE_TIME])>=0 and Time.Hour([AM_PRODUCTION_RESULT[END_DATE_TIME])<11 then "A" else if Time.Hour([AM_PRODUCTION_RESULT[END_DATE_TIME]) >=12 and Time.Hour([AM_PRODUCTION_RESULT[END_DATE_TIME]) < 18 then "B" else "C"

The syntax is for M query.

Open Edit queries, Add column->Custom Column -> Paste your script and rename the column.

Hi,

Thanks for your solution, it really helped us for the shifts. Only we have a problem that the night shift starts at 22:00 till 6:00 a.m. next day.

The problem for now is that for example 2-2-2023 22:00 - 00:00  is summed up with the night shift ealier that day form 2-2-2023 from 00:00 - 6:00, which is another night shift.

So what the output should be is that the night shift, started at 1-2-2023 22:00 till 2-2-2023 6:00 should be summed up. And it should be categorized as the night shift of 1-2-2023 (the start date of the night shift).

So what we have now is this;

if Time.Hour([Start])>=6 and Time.Hour([Start])<14 then "Day"
else if Time.Hour([Start]) >=14 and Time.Hour([Start]) < 22 then "Evening"
else "Nacht")

So the last else should be something like;

else if Time.Hour([Start]) >=22 and Time.Hour([Start]) +1 day < 6 then "Night"

Can you push us in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Going to add another level of complexity here, How about bringing in Days of the week? 

Example:

 Sunday through Tuesday 6:00 am-6:00 pm and Wednesday 6:00 am-Noon = A shift

Add "Date.DayOfWeek([Column1])" to the condition. It will return 0 for Monday,1 for Tuesday and so on..

If this helps, mark it as a solution.

How to I insert it?

f Time.Hour([END_DATE_TIME])>=7 and Time.Hour([END_DATE_TIME])<16 then "A" else if Time.Hour([END_DATE_TIME]) >=15 and Time.Hour([END_DATE_TIME]) < 23 then "B" else "C"
