Hello I have a general question:
Initial situation:
Excel File 1 - Production Time:
The viewing period spans one month. The period is segmented into various intervals. These intervals are recorded down to the second.
For example: 03.01.2022 17:55:02 – 03.01.2022 18:10:23
Excel File 2 - Errors:
This file contains documented error messages distributed throughout the entire day.
For example: 03.01.2022 18:00:00
Goal:
My objective is to derive variables indicating the count of errors generated per production time interval within a single day.
For example: 300 errors/production time one day
Question:
How can I generate the vaiable for each day in a mo
nth?
I`m a beginner in this topic. It would be nice if you could help me take a first step in the right direction.

Hello, @Sebatian
let
events_table = your_events_table,
interval_table = your_intervals_table,
event = #table(
{"type", "value"},
{
{"event", events_table[Date_time_event]},
{"start", interval_table[IntervalStart]},
{"end", interval_table[IntervalEnd]}
}
),
expand = Table.ExpandListColumn(event, "value"),
sort = Table.Sort(expand,{{"value", Order.Ascending}}),
g = Table.Group(
sort, "type",
{{"events", (x) => List.Count(List.Select(x[type], (w) => w = "event"))}, {"date", (x) => Date.From(x{0}[value])}},
GroupKind.Local,
(s, c) => Number.From(List.Contains({"start", "end"}, c))),
filter_start = Table.SelectRows(g, each ([type] = "start")),
g2 = Table.Group(filter_start, {"date"}, {{"events", each List.Sum([events]), type number}})
