Punch Data Visualization

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I am trying to understand how I might be able to visualize punch data on an area chart but automate the calculation in DAX or M. Ultimately, I want this data on an area chart with time on the time of day on the X-axis and count of working employees on the Y-axis (I will be plotting this data along with 15-minute interval PoS transaction data too).

I have done this in the past in a manual way by listing out all of the times of the day (in 15-minute increments) and placing a "1" for each count of employees working during that 15-minute interval. My question is, is there a way to write DAX or M to get the raw data so that the area chart can consume and plot this data? 

Raw Data:

Employee ID	Punch Start	Punch End	Break Start	Break End
1234	9:15 am	5:00 pm	12:30 pm	1 pm
1235	9 am	4 pm	null	null
1236	8 am	3 pm	11 am	11:30 am

Manual Example:

Employee ID	8	8:15	8:30	8:45	9:00	9:15	9:30	9:45	10
1234						1	1	1	1
1235					1	1	1	1	1
1236	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1

HI @Anonymous,

You can create a new time table with fifteen minute as interval, and use its time field with raw table employee field to create a matrix.(time to column, employee to row)

After these steps, you can write a measure formula to lookup raw table records based on the current employee and corresponding time values to return flag and use on matrix value field.
