Power Query: Date/Time Falls Between Business Hours
- 6 years ago
Hi IamTDR ,
First go to query editor> split columns :Split the date/time columns into 2 columns: date and time,as you see below:
Then create a calculated column to get the weekday of the field "create at":
Weekday = FORMAT(WEEKDAY('Table (2)'[Create at.1],1),"DDDD")Finally create 2 measures as below:
is within 2 hours = var a=DATEDIFF(MAX('Table (2)'[Create at.2]),MAX('Table (2)'[the first response.2]),MINUTE)/60 Return IF(a<=2,1,0)is within business hours = IF(MAX('Table (2)'[Weekday]) in FILTERS('Table'[Weekday ])&&MAX('Table (2)'[Create at.2])>=MAX('Table'[Working hour start ])&&MAX('Table (2)'[the first response.2])<=MAX('Table'[Working hour end]),1,0)And you will see:

I believe that the decimal portion of the date/time value is the time part. So, you could remove the integer portion and * by 24 to get the hour.

Is there a way for me to create a field in this table that would later allow me to pivot on whether the 2 hour window has been fulfilled?
Should I be researching DateDiff for this?

Sorry, you asked about Power Query. DATEDIFF is DAX. Personally, Power Query's date time functions are fairly terrible to work with so DAX may not be a bad way to go. Yes, you could use DATEDIFF to get the number of hours between two dates very easily. It will be more of a pain in Power Query.

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
