Date Diff problem (1 Viewer)

[Steve_T]

Hello,
I am having problems creating a Exp to show the difference in time.
I am currently using :Expr1ateDiff("n",[TimeReported],[TimeDefectGiven]) which is returning a figure in decimal.
If the answer was to be 90 minutes i need it to return the figure as 1.50 instead.

I have looked on the site using Date Diff and Time without success


Any help given would be great

Divide the minutes by 60.

If you need the decimal, then the following will work (given that there is no nulls)

DateDiff("n",[TimeReported],[TimeDefectGiven]) / 60

This divides the minutes by 60, which gives you the hours in decimals, which is this case would be 1.5 .

If you need a clock-like display (such as 1:30), then the following works:

DateDiff("n",[TimeReported],[TimeDefectGiven])\60 & ":" & _
Format(DateDiff("n",[TimeReported],[TimeDefectGiven]) MOD 60, "00")
