Hi,

you need to use DateTimeDiff(dt1,dt2,u) function in a multi-row formula tool.
This will give you difference in seconds. If you want difference in smaller units (e.g. miliseconds) - please take a look at this post:

@JarekSkudrzyk  - I think your logic works, but looks like i need to apply some more logic to get to this point. I am attaching the file, can you please help in getting the time difference for this file

Hi @Alteryx_Geek 

 

Try this, parsed the time and used @JarekSkudrzyk 's formula

By extra logic, I guess you mean we need to parse the time string out.

@Luke_C  - Thanks Luke, appreciated. Is it possible to get the time difference in msec ? or something like in this format "ss.msec" ?
