Difference between two timestamps

[#1]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me as Im new to Qlikview.

Thanks to swuehl who wrote the attached code, I am able to put sample data into Qlikview and output it into tables.  The code basically take two separate dates/times eg: 01/08/2012 09:00:00 - 01/08/2012 10:00:00 and it works out the difference in hh:mm:ss and puts it into a table called Duration. 

It also ensures that the duration is not calculated for weekends and also if the time is before 08:00 and after 18:00.

The problem is, I have no idea how to amend the sample data and put it into the 'Live Data'

I will have two fields, one called logdate and the other called closedate.  What I want is the attached code to be amended so the field called duration basically calculates the closedate minus the logdate.  I want to then be able to pull Duration field into a Straight chart.

Regards,

If the types are the same for closedate and logdate you could use closedate-logdate.

TABLE:

Load *,

closedate - logdate as Duration;

select  callref,

                    priority,

                    owner,

                    cust_name,

                    logdate,

                    assigndate,

                    closedby,

                    closedate,

                    probcode,

                    fixcode,

                    respondby,

                    fixby,

                    withinresp,

                    withinfix,

                    completeby,

                    compltdate,

                    lastactdate,

                    lastactby,

                    prob_text,

                    last_text
