Hello

I am trying to create a new column that is a difference in minutes between 2 different times, but the calculation is returning 00.

thanks Frank

Can you check what you get when you do just this

ss_note_time_2 - ss_note_time_1

Do you see a decimal number or not?

If you do, then you can try just this

Interval(ss_note_time_2 - ss_note_time_1, 'mm') as IS_Duration

So it seems that your time field is not read as time field by QlikView... You probably will need TimeStamp#() or Time#() function to get this done

Interval(Time#(ss_note_time_2, 'TimeFieldFormat') - Time#(ss_note_time_1, 'TimeFieldFormat'), 'mm') as IS_Duration
