Time difference

Feras95p

Dear all,

 

 

I want to calculate the time difference  between two columns for example 

like what's the time difference between the start and K complete the output in one column and the time difference between the K complete and E complete in one column.

 

 

Any help in that?

@Feras95p ,

 

using a datetime tool or a formula, you'll want to convert these strings into real datetime formats. 

then you can use a datetimediff() formula and convert the answer to minutes or hours. 

cheers,

This can be done relatively easy by DateTimeDiff. Dont what unit you want for the unit, difference in Seconds is given in the sample flow.1019-Feras95p.PNG

Hint:

 

mod(121,60) = 1

 

tostring((121-mod(121,60))/60)+":"+
Padleft(tostring(mod(121,60)),2,"0")

 

that should get you 2:01

 

 cheers,

Hi @Qiu,

 

 

Thanks a lot ! 

 

One more question why in the output the last column K-E the first row 1:6 and it should be 1:06 because some of them will be 1:3 so I will not know if it's 1:30 or 1:03. Is there a way to solve this problem?

A PadLeft function would do the trick. Check below and mark it accepted if you like it.1019-Feras95p-2.PNG
