Report for Tasks and Incidents within certain hours

I would like to create two reports; one for Incidents and one for Tasks. But, in particular, I would like to see on my report all Incidents and Tasks closed between 17:00 - 19:00, daily. 

But, my report does not seem to pull JUST that time frame, i.e. 17:00 - 19:00 daily. Any ideas...(see attached image)?

 

Thanks

Because your trend conditions are wrong (sorry to be blunt).

Should read:
Closed ON OR AFTER 5pm AND
Closed ON OR BEFORE 7pm

The OR is messing you up (as well as the after/before without hte "on").  In this scenario 10 am would still succeed because it satisfies the before 7pm condition.  Paradoxically 7pm would fail because 7 is not before 7.  

 

You could also do...

Closed Trend IS 5 pm OR
Closed Trend IS 6 pm OR
Closed Trend IS 7pm

You want to use the TREND operator, because "between" assumes fixed date-times.

I made a short video explaining this operator not too long ago.  Check it out here

Great video. One additional comment, if you review my image below, I am trying to get two things: 

- a report between 1st May - 31st May

- trend between 17:00 - 19:00

 

I tried putting the trend after the dates, that did not help. Tried the other way round, that did not help.

Any ideas? Thanks....

"Didn't help" in what way?  Are there tasks you can identify that should have been caught but weren't?

One thing I'd say is you should be using "On or after" / "On or before".  Not "after / before".  I'd also strip out your group conditions until you're certain your getting your timing conditions met.

To be clear, I would simply like to create a report that will show me Incidents worked Monday to Friday ONLY between the hours of 17:00 - 19:00. 

What is the best way to accomplish this? Based on what I have tried thus far (from my image previously posted), the report is not solely calculating between 17:00 - 19:00. 

 

Thanks all...
