FormCalc Newbie, Time Difference Equation

[joshm2863114]

Hey everyone, I'm pretty green when it comes to this stuff but I'm trying to figure this out so I'm reaching out here. I'm trying to develop an equation in FormCalc that will calculate the difference, in hours, between two times. The times will be entered in GMT and I have the equation below, so far, that works but the problem is when the second (OFF_DUTY_TIME) is beyond 24:00, such as 02:30. Any insights or suggestions?

What I have so far:

if (HasValue (OFF_DUTY_TIME)  and HasValue (ON_DUTY_TIME)) then (Time2Num(OFF_DUTY_TIME.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(ON_DUTY_TIME.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) / (60 * 60 * 1000) endif

Ok, so I changed it up to the equation below, but now if the difference is calculated between two times on the same day (GMT), it is one minute off. But if the difference is between two times on different 'days' (once again, all times GMT), it is correct. Any advice?

var startT = ON_DUTY_TIME.formattedValue

var endT = OFF_DUTY_TIME.formattedValue

var differenceT = Time2Num(endT, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(startT, "HH:MM")

$ = Num2GMTime(differenceT, "HH:MM")

Hi,

Im not sure if you still need assistance, but the following worked for me. I found it in an earlier thred and tweaked it a bit. Im also not very familiar with code but I hope it works for you.

var TimeCount

var OneMinute = 1/60

var StartTime=Time2Num(Row3.Start1.formattedValue,"HH:MM")

var EndTime=Time2Num(Row4.End1.formattedValue,"HH:MM")

if (StartTime ne null and EndTime ne null) then

     //if start time is lower than end time.

          if (Time2Num(Row3.Start1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") < Time2Num(Row4.End1.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) then

               TimeCount = Abs(Time2Num(Row3.Start1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(Row4.End1.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)

          //If start time is higher than end time

          else

               TimeCount = 24 - Abs(Time2Num(Row4.End1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") - Time2Num(Row3.Start1.formattedValue, "HH:MM")) /(60 * 60 * 1000)

          endif

     var Minutes = Round(TimeCount / OneMinute)

     var Hours = 0

     for i = 0 upto 48 step 1 do

          if (Minutes >= 60) then

               Minutes = Minutes - 60

               Hours = i + 1

          endif

     endfor

     $ = Concat(Hours,":",format("99",Minutes))

endif
