good day
this is a follow up on the following thread:
I used the following code to generate the difference in time:
=
(
(
(
ToNumber( Substr( FormatDate([SR_Created_At_UTC] ;"HH:mm:ss" ) ; 1 ; 2 ) ) * 60 * 60 +
ToNumber( Substr( FormatDate( [SR_Created_At_UTC] ;"HH:mm:ss" ) ; 4 ; 2 ) ) * 60 +
ToNumber( Substr( FormatDate( [SR_Created_At_UTC] ;"HH:mm:ss" ) ; 7 ; 2 ) )
)
-
(
ToNumber( Substr( FormatDate( [M_IR_Created_At] ; "HH:mm:ss" ) ; 1 ;2 ) ) * 60 * 60 +
ToNumber( Substr( FormatDate( [M_IR_Created_At] ; "HH:mm:ss" ) ; 4 ; 2) ) * 60 +
ToNumber( Substr( FormatDate( [M_IR_Created_At] ; "HH:mm:ss" ) ; 7 ; 2) )
)
)
) / 60 +
( DaysBetween( [M_IR_Created_At] ; [SR_Created_At_UTC] ) * 24 * 60 )
the results are out by a couple of seconds. an example is:
recent time - old time = x
result after calculation:
01 Apr 2018 1:55:51 PM - 01 Apr 2018 1:53:29 PM = 2:37
the results should be 02:22.
another example:
02 Apr 2018 8:12:45 PM - 02 Apr 2018 8:13:00 PM = 0:25
it should be 00:15
please assist.

0.37 * 60 = 22.2
You’re confusing minutes and decimal parts of an hour.
thank you for your response, I still don’t know how to fix it though?

You need to calculate it in two parts:
You have the whole number of minutes.
You then need to convert 37% of a minute into seconds - just multiply the remainder by 60
Have a look at this topic for further details:
