I'm using the date diff .... DateDiff("h",[Start time],[End time]) in a query and then I report the results in a report. I have run into a problem for the first time. I had a start time of 7:00pm, and an end time of 7:00am. This was calculated in the query as (-12) which is messing up my cost formula.

How do I resolve this?

Use the Absolute value:

Abs(DateDiff("h",[Start time],[End time]))
