hi,
Need a help.
i have three columns belt ,start time,end time.
start time and end time are timestamp columns.
i want to create 15 minute time slots first for ex:00:00-00:15,00:15-00:30 ....23:30-23:45,23:45-00:00 for 24 hrs.
next I want is ,if belt 2 starts using for some activity at 10:00 and ends at 11:13 then i get count in another column based on timeslots which we created as 10:00-10:15,10:15-10:30,10:30-10:45,10:45-11:00,11:00-11:15 in all this time slots i got count 1 as belt (starts using from) starts at 10:00 and ends at 11:13.
same way if same belt 2 again starts for other activity at 10:17 and ends at 11:17 then it also gives count in timeslots (with adding)(if timeslots and belt no repeats then only add)10:15-10:30,10:30-10:45,10:45-11:00,11:00-11:15( in all this timeslots i got count 2 as the belt no and timeslots repeats and timeslot 11:15-11:30 gives count 1 as it is not repeating.
ultimately i need heatmap with the help of matrix visual .so basically i need two columns timeslots of 15 minutes for 24 hrs for each(different belt for ex 2,3,4,6,2a,...)and count based on how start and end time.
How can i do this in power Bi.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Create a series in terms of Minute first. Then generate time-based on that column
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/generateseries-function
hh =QUOTIENT(SeriesMin, 60)
Calculate MM also. Append and create time.

Hi,
Need help.
As I mentioned,i create 15 min time slots.I am sorry as I am not able to describe my problem properly.
First I wanted to show you data so you ll get some idea. Data Structure
calculate column as per time slots
final output
first image is data structure in which i have first bag,last bag and merged column =fist bag-last bag(joined column) which reflects total time of that activity work.,minutes column is shows how much time that activity takes to complete.
second image shows the calculation which i made depends on first bag (calculation wrong) and third image is output which i want.heatmap graph with the help of matrix visual.
Now what i want is,in 1st image if you check minute column and merged column ,some example i give you as for belt 10,activity starts at 1:12 Am-2:00 Am ,so total time is 47 min.but as per my calculation it just show timeslot 1:00-1:15 only ,
but actually it should reflect 1:00-1:15,1:15-1:30,1:30-1:45,1:45-2:00 as activity ends at 2:00.
How can I do that?
I am sorry if i am unable to describe it propely.
Thanks in advance.
