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.
