Date/time Difference

Hi,

I need to find the difference between 2 date/time fields (e.g 01/02/2012 00:00:00) to show the difference in minutes.

So for example: schedule start time: 01/01/2012 11:00:00

                         Actual start time: 01/01/2012 11:15:00

I want it to show 15mins. I need it to work for negative numbers too, so:

schedule start time: 01/01/2012 11:00:00 

Actual start time: 01/01/2012 10:45:00

so it needs to show -15.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Facing Same problem.  How to get rid of it?

Interval(Date(Date#(StopDateTime,'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm'),'mm') - Date(Date#(StartDateTime,'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm'),'mm') ,'mm')   worked for me.

I was not getting it correct when the (seconds) 'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss' portion was included.

removing the :ss part, giving only   'DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm' resulted in correct answer for me.
