HI,
I am working on a daily log kind of project.
So i need to
1. Take the start time and end time and calculate the number of minutes between them.
eg. 6:15 am to 8:15 am -> 120 minutes.
I tried using the function
minute( todatetime(endTime)-todatetime(startTime) )
but this works only till 60 minutes. i.e. 6:15 am to 7:15 am ->0 min. Should give 60 mins
Also
2. is there any way i can only take the time as input? I have to use a!dateTimeField() Where as i dont want to get concerned with date.
Once the datetime is entered, i can use totime to get only the time. But i want the input itself to be time and not datetime.

1. You need to use the function tointervalds()
a!localVariables( local!times: totime({"5:00 pm","7:22 pm"}), local!difference: tointervalds(local!times[2]) - tointervalds(local!times[1]), local!hours: hour(local!difference), local!minutes: minute(local!difference), (local!hours*60)+local!minutes&" minutes" )
2. Simplest thing to do would be creating your own dropdown for time where each option is a text value in the format "hh:mm pm" because you can then do totime("5:00 pm") to convert the string to a Time. You can even put the dropdown field in a sidebyside layout to make the dropdown width more narrow.
Any function to find the working minutes based on calender selected?
