Solved!

An excellent exercise to learn how to manipulate HH:MM in Alteryx.

I spent a lot of time until I decided to create 2 fields with DateTime format. :-(

Hi @alex,

 

Hope you are well!

 

I just want to thank you for your solution!

It is simple, didactic and elegant!

Ah! And I loved your recipe:

 

1) Pad beginning and end so that the contain 4 digits.
2) Convert to time format
3) DateTimeDiff to calculate time elapsed.
4) Remove unnecessary columns. 

 

I've learned a lot with everyone here!

Cheers!

It took many formulas and there were some tricky ones in there! Good practice for date time formatting and parsing!

My solution.  Minimized number of tools by nesting formulas in a single tool.
