Hours And Minutes - Parsing As A String?

[zacharj13]

Hello,

 

I have a form that collects two times on a 24 hour time format. Like a start and end time. Let's say 14:00 and 16:30. I need calculate the hours and minutes duration and output the hours in one column, and the minutes in another. So in this case, the hours column would have 2, and the minutes would be 30. Also, it needs to handle when the time extends onto another day, such as start at 20:00 and end time is 00:45. In this case, the hours columns needs to output 4, and the minutes would be 45. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @zacharj13,

You can use this formula to get the hours:

DATEDIFF(s, [@field:StartTime],[@field:EndTime])/3600

And this formula for minutes:

DATEDIFF(s, [@field:StartTime], [@field:EndTime])%3600/60

Thanks, does the DATEDIFF data type have to be date/time on the form? How can the input field be setup to input time only, not calendar day, month, year, etc

Hello @zacharj13, you can use text data type as well for the datediff. An example for this is a text field that has the calendar popup enabled.
