Trying to create bins for time of the day

[JakeSchmetterer]

Hello,

I am trying to create bins for time of the day.  However I am unable to change the Min Value and Max Value as they are greyed out:

If I could edit it, I would make Min Value: 2pm, Max Value: 8pm and then keep Bin Size at 30 minutes

Hi @JakeSchmetterer ,

Based on my research, we could not change the default value in group data in power bi desktop.

Another way you can try that is change the bin type to 'number of bins', adjust the bin count manually until the bin size has been shown as 30 minutes.

@JakeSchmetterer - You could create a time table like:

Time Table = GENERATESERIES(14,20,1)

Representing hours of the day. Other ways to do it.  You could get to the minute. My book DAX Cookbook covers time tables in Chapter 3, Recipe 1, you can get the DAX here: https://github.com/gdeckler/DAXCookbook

@JakeSchmetterer , Another way is to create a time table and create a new column as per requirements

The create the formula to use the bin. or join with the time of fact table.
