frequency distrbution based on 24 hours - excel

I have a power pivot table with a date time entry (which can be changed to any-type of output with a case statement) Format (2012-01-01 00:00:30.000) Which I need to figure out how many of these entry's for any day arrived from 1:00 Am to 1:59 A, and 2:00 am to 2:59 am etc?
How do I format the Bin frequency in excel so I build the hour buckets?
I do want to graph more than one day but that could be done on the SQL side.

You might need to make a new table to chart the frequency distributions. Here's an example.
The formula
=COUNTIFS(A$2:A$17,"<"&F6,A2:A17,">="&E6)
will provide what you want. You can adjust the limits for min/max with the chart shown. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to easily share the excel file.

As an alternative to the other answer which is valid, you can create a pivot table based off of your data and then group it by right-clicking anywhere in the pivot table, selecting "Group..." and telling it how you want to group the data. You can group by Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, etc...

employee utilization in power pivot

I've been strugling with this and searching for an answer for about a week so far..
I got a list of projects with a person responsible, utilization for each project, start and end date. Looks like that:
What I would like to achieve is to get an utilization sum for every single date between project start (in fact min date) and project end (max date), like that:
In pivot table of course.
I tried to work with self-build dynamic calendar but I don't have a clue how to DAX it for every single date...
Please help!
you need to create a table with every single date and then bring that table into the data model. Then use those dates as the column headers. Make sure your dates are in the same format as your table with information. Are you using power pivot in Excel or PowerBI? The steps are similar but easier in PowerBI.

Excel Pivot Table Inquiry

I have a pivot table with imported data from a raw data list, which is also filterable between 4 different months. I want to show, in the same pivot table, the averages of last month, the current month, and the average of all four, but every time I change one column, the others change as well. How do I get them to be accurate and act independently? Would offset be the best option. I know this question is rather confusing, but I'm not sure how to even ask the question. Thanks for your time.
You can create fórmula the last month based on you Date field.
First you need to create a formula on your data source and named
"last month":
=IF(AND(A2>=EDATE(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()),1),-1), A2<=EDATE(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())),-1)),D2,0)
"the current month":
=IF(AND(A2>=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()),1), A2<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))),D2,0)
"the average of all four":
=IF(AND(A2>=EDATE(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()),1),-4), A2<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))),D2,0)
After you create the fórmula you can able to add it to your pivot table as Sum, Average etc...

Filtering specific individual dates in PivotTables with changing input

How do I filter data for specific individual dates in a PivotTable? The input is changed on a weekly basis and therefore the specific desired dates will change every week. I have data for every business day. And I want to retrieve data from the most recent business day, 5 business days before that, 30 business days before that and 90 business days before that. How do I go about this?
Sound like you want an 'Aging Report' If you Google on 'Excel Aging Report', you should be able to find something. use of TODAY() in formula is part of answer. I also did something similar here. It didn't involve Pivot tables.. But it should help you on your way.
You might want to check out the code in my answer at Filtering pivot table with vba
That code lets you programatically filter a Pivot RowField or ColumnField by specifying an interval type (e.g. days, weeks, months, quarters, years) as well as an interval count (e.g. 7, -7). It has an optional argument vRelativeTo field which counts back/foward from the youngest/oldest item depending on whether lNumber is positive/negative.
It leverages off the inbuilt DateFilters functionality, and as such does not
work on RowFields.

Need to group Time Slots in Excel

I am working on logistics data. I have booking being made throughout the day at regular intervals from start to the end of the day.
Now these booking are consistent and I have time from like
04:45
21:10
21:10
06:07
05:44
05:45
05:45
05:45
etc.
Now as there are multiple bookings I need to group them such as
04:00- 05:00 (1 hours)- this should capture all booking made during this period.
Similar for other hours during the day.
By doing this I will be able to group individual values into specific group. Can you please advice how to achieve the same in excel.
If the values are stored as dates in Excel, the Pivot Table has this functionality built in already with the "Group Field" option. You can group by Hours which is probably what you want. Note that you can select multiple items to get a hierarchy of groups as shown below. This will break if the underlying data is not formatted as a Date so watch out for that.
If you do not have true dates and just have times, you can format as a Time in Excel and it will work. Just don't show the days/date because it will be gibberish.
add a column truncating the time to hours
along the lines of =time(hour(z),0,0)
then create a pivot table using the hour column

Using a Pivot Table to run Overtime Analysis

I am working on an overtime analysis report in which the data has been imported into Excel (2010). I need to show overtime and time off hours only. I've grouped all the time off hours by creating an additional column that only contains those hours (three different codes). Once the pivot tables are created, I'm creating line charts to show any correlation between time off and overtime in a department, month, and by person. It's working great for most of the employees, but . . .
The issue I'm having is that a segment of our employees have overtime built into their schedule, so the OT column values need to be reduced by that number. (YTD built-in hours is 42).
I've created a calculated field to give me the adjusted OT hours. The problem is when I create the chart, it includes all the fields - the time off data, the total overtime, and the adjusted overtime. If I filter out the overtime, the table doesn't do the calculations for the adjusted overtime. Is there a way to keep just the time off and adjusted overtime hours?
Calculations on detail records should not be done in a Pivot table. If - in your detail table - you create (or have) a field EmpClass that leads to another parameter table specifying the working hours per class, you can - via VLOOKUP and other functions - calculate the correct work/free/overtime for each record in the detail table and aggregate only these result fields.
