timestamp(timestamp#([Column1], 'd.hh:mm:ss') - timestamp#( [Column2], 'hh:mm:ss'),'hh:mm:ss'
) AS Total ,

Column1Column2Total 
2020-07-26 08:13:55.6562020-07-26 08:13:55.858

if I understood correctly in your formula you need to add .ff in Time format

you can try this :

Timestamp(((Timestamp#(Column2,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.fff')-Timestamp#(Column1,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.fff'))), 'hh:mm:ss.ff') as Total 

 

 

One example:

 

Data:

LOAD *,
Timestamp(((Timestamp#(Column2,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.fff')-Timestamp#(Column1,'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.fff'))), 'hh:mm:ss.ff') as Total 

 INLINE [
    Column1, Column2 
    2020-07-26 08:13:55.656, 2020-07-26 08:13:55.858
    2020-07-26 08:59:11.212, 2020-07-26 08:59:11.455
    2020-07-26 09:15:38.637, 2020-07-26 09:15:38.930
];

 

 

output:
