Need help on DatetimeDifference

Pinky
8 - Asteroid

Hi,

 

I am using the below formula to calculate the Date difference.

DateTimeDiff(DateTimeParse([Max_DateTime_Out],"%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S"),DateTimeParse([Min_DateTime_Out],"%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S"),"Seconds").

 

The formula is only subtracting minutes not seconds. If you see the below data first incident number dates difference is showing zero where as it should show 16 seconds. I have tried using "seconds" and "Minutes" in formula but still the date differenec is Zero. I want to subtract the seconds even the hour and minute is same.

Can i know where am i doing wrong? Thanks!

Hey @Pinky

 

Try this:

 

DateTimeDiff(DateTimeParse([Max_DateTime_Out],
"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"),
DateTimeParse([Min_DateTime_Out],
"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"),"Seconds")
