HELP with DAX

[dimidi]

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

Hi  @dimidi ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Select [Shift_Start] and [Shift_End] - Duplicate Column..

2. Select each of the two copied columns - Time - Time Only.

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:

Paul Jones	13/09/2023	13/09/2023 07:00:00	13/09/2023 19:00:00
Tom Young	13/09/2023	13/09/2023 12:00:00	13/09/2023 20:00:00
Lee Bennett	13/09/2023	13/09/2023 09:00:00	13/09/2023 17:00:00
