I am posting this question again because the project has changed and the previous answers don't return the desired results. Ambulances and fire trucks have the dispatch time when an emergency occurred and an end time for when the emergency was declared over.
Event 1 starts on May 1, 2021 10:17:33 and ends at may 1, 2021 10:33:41.
Event 2 starts on May 1, 2021 11:50:52 and ends at May 1, 2021 13:18:21.
I would like to parse the amount of time from the start to the end and place it into the hour parts when it occurs. For example; Event 1 starts at 10:17 and ends at 10:33. It would place 16 minutes minutes in the 10:00 hour part for that day. Event 2 would place 10 minutes in the 11:00 hour part, 60 minutes in the 12:00 hour part and 18 minutes in the 13:00 hour part. Place the minutes in the hours during which the event occured.
The results should look the following. Although I am flexible. For example, if the name of the truck cannot be returned in the results that would be ok because if the EventID is there, I could relate back to the original table.
EventID | Ambulance | EventDayOfYear | EventHour | MinutesAllocated |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Medic10 | 121 | 10 | 16 |
1 | Medic10 | 121 | 11 | 10 |
2 | Ladder73 | 121 | 11 | 10 |
2 | Ladder73 | 121 | 12 | 60 |
2 | Ladder73 | 121 | 13 | 18 |
3 | Engine41 | 121 | 13 | 33 |
3 | Engine41 | 121 | 14 | 21 |
4 | Medic83 | 121 | 15 | 32 |
4 | Medic83 | 121 | 16 | 5 |
5 | Rescue32 | 121 | 16 | 33 |
6 | Medic09 | 121 | 23 | 16 |
6 | Medic09 | 122 | 0 | 39 |
7 | Engine18 | 121 | 23 | 28 |
7 | Engine18 | 122 | 0 | 60 |
7 | Engine18 | 122 | 1 | 34 |
8 | Rescue63 | 122 | 0 | 35 |
The following SQL code comes close to working to deliver the right result. But it does not overlap days. There are many emergency events that start at 2300 hours and last until 0300 hours the following day.

I have a suspiction that SQL Server may not be the best method to achieve the goal. It may need to be written in Python with increment and decrement and counters.
If it helps, I have a calendar table that looks like:
May 1, 2021 00:00:00
May 1, 2021 01:00:00
May 1, 2021 02:00:00
May 1, 2021 03:00:00
May 1, 2021 04:00:00
May 1, 2021 05:00:00
May 1, 2021 06:00:00
Would a calendar table be useful in solving this problem?
