Interval Between Two Dates

Dear Folks,

I need to display time difference b/w two dates with time stamps as shown below.

Am able to calculate TIME DIFF using Interval() as shown below

If(ACTIONBY=Above(ACTIONBY) AND Above(ACTIVITY)=’ Review’, Interval(ACT_DATE)-Above(ACT_DATE)))

I'm not including null's in below table to eliminate dates with nothing

TRANID

ACTIONBY

ACT_DATE

TIME DIFF

121500922

u1234

22-02-2021 11:01:27

00:04:20

121500922

u1234

01-03-2021  14:18:51

00:07:55

 

Now when I Add the other dimension ACTIVITY / ACTION i cannot see TIME DIFF value in the table   

actual table looks like below

 

TRANID

ACTIONBY

ACTIVITY

ACTION

ACT_DATE

First, your sample data is a bit of a mess. You've got mixed date formats, an extra space in ACT_DATE for two values, and your ACTIONBY isn't the same user (uppercase U in the last one).

Assuming that's just a sample and not the actual data, though, it seems like within the context of your table ABOVE(Field) doesn't return anything, so you should be using Above(total Field):

If(ACTIONBY=Above(total ACTIONBY) AND Above(total ACTIVITY)= 'Review', Interval(ACT_DATE)-Above(total ACT_DATE))

I don't understand the question...

If you mean you want to pre-calculate it in the script, you'll need to do it with some sort of Peek() or Previous() situation (and you'll need to make sure your data is pre-sorted in the query / load). Have a look at those functions and see if you can get it to work, there's plenty of examples in Community for using those functions.
