Which visualization should I use to show a KPI with StartTime + EndTime attributes?

Hello Community,

I would like to show by "continuous" timeline on x-axis of a KPI metric, which has StartTime + EndTime attributes in the dataset.  The tricky part is how to allocate the count across the timeline.  Each record below is 1 count.

ie 

StartTime                    EndTime

2018-01-01 08:15:51  2018-01-01 10:45:31

2018-01-01 09:45:51  2018-01-01 10:15:31

2018-01-01 13:24:51  2018-01-01 17:05:31

2018-01-01 15:17:51  2018-01-01 18:42:31

2018-01-01 07:15:51  2018-01-01 11:58:31

 

Final Result - a timeline chart that shows at any given time, the count.  For example, at 10 am sharp, the count should be 3 (1st, 2nd, and 5th records above).

I'm not sure which visualization provides the best approach for this.

 

Much Appreciated!

Hi @captainlaw

 

You may create measure to get the count first and then use chart to show them as requested.

That appears to be a more complicated solution.  How would you do so per my example?

I would think custom visual would handle StartTime & EndTime is a clever way.

Anyone know of a good custom visual for my dataset?

 

Thank you.
