Finding the time elapsed between two times

Brytsyt
7 - Meteor

Could someone please, if possible, assist me in creating a workflow that shows the difference between the 'Created Date (UTC)' and 'Last Modified Date (UTC)' in the attached sheet.

As they are on the same day I would like the output to ignore the date and just show the time elapsed between the two figures in a new column(D).

Look at the DateTimeParse and DateTimeDiff functions

Hi @Brytsyt 

 

If you want the difference in seconds, here's a way to do it.


Use a Formula Tool:

 

DateTimeDiff(DateTimeParse([Last Modified Date (UTC)],"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M"),
Replace(ReplaceChar([Created Date (UTC)], "T", " "), "Z", ""), "seconds")

Hi @Brytsyt ,

 

I've attached the workflow for you.

I've created the formula so it will tell you if the difference is in Days or Minutes.

 

I hope this helps.
