HELP with DAX
Hi DAX Experts. I am working on my first report in Power BI and I am seriosly stucked in a something that for me should be an issue as I have aexperience as a software developer but with minimal DAX experiance. The problem is:
I have a dataset that have data for Drivers which have the following fields:
- date (date only - no time component)
- driver - driver name
- shift_start - date/time
- shift_end - date/time
In report I need to have a line chart that on X-axis have hours of the day (from 0 to 23) and on Y-axis I need to have number of drivers that is on duty (on hourly basis). X axis should display each hour even the count of drivers is 0.
Any helps will be much appreciated
Thanks a lot

3. Create calculated table.
Time = VAR __StartTime= TIME(0,0,0) var __EndTime= TIME(23,0,0) var __Duration= TIME(1,0,0) return GENERATESERIES(__StartTime,__EndTime,__Duration)4. Create measure.
Time = VAR __StartTime= TIME(0,0,0) var __EndTime= TIME(23,0,0) var __Duration= TIME(1,0,0) return GENERATESERIES(__StartTime,__EndTime,__Duration)5. Result:
