Operations by hour

Hi everyone ! I'm having some problems trying to calculate how many cars are in different hours. There is a problem of a parking lot. 
I have the next data: 

 

CheckInCheckout
25/08/2021 07:0025/08/2021 07:34
25/08/2021 07:4725/08/2021 08:48
25/08/2021 08:4725/08/2021 08:59
25/08/2021 08:4725/08/2021 08:59
25/08/2021 08:5025/08/2021 09:32
25/08/2021 08:5325/08/2021 11:32
25/08/2021 09:0125/08/2021 11:32

 

As you can see there is the CheckIn and the CheckOut. But I DONT WANT THE NEXT: 

 

With CheckIn

HourOperations
72
84
91

 

With CheckOut

HourOperations
71
83
91
112

 

WHAT I WANT IS TO CALCULATE HOW MANY CARS ARE IN THE PARKING LOT. EACH ROW IS A CAR, WHAT I WANT IS THE NEXT: 

 

HourCars
72
85
92
102
112

 

At 7 am there was 1 car, at 8 am there were 5 cars: 1 from 7 am (the CheckOut is at 😎 and 4 with the CheckIn at 8. 

Please, help 

Thank you guys

@Anonymous you need to create a table for hours to achieve the goal, you can add this table using following DAX:

 

Hours = SELECTCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 0, 23, 1 ), "Hour", [Value] )

 

Add a new measure to count cars by the hour:

 

Count Cars = 
VAR __hour = MAX ( Hours[Hour] )
RETURN 
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( Parking ),
   __hour >= HOUR ( Parking[CheckIn] ),
   __hour <= HOUR ( Parking[Checkout] )
)

 

To visualize, use a table visual, add Hour columns from Hour table and Count Rows measure and you will get the following result:
