RE: Negative interval(day to second) to positive

In Appian, the difference between two dates is called an interval. Intervals are stored as decimals internally. This means, you can use the abs() function to get the positive value.

Some example code below:

a!localVariables(
  local!firstDate: datetime(2023, 11, 6, 7, 0, 0, 0),
  local!secondDate: datetime(2023, 11, 6, 7, 1, 0, 0),

  tointervalds(
    abs(
      todecimal(local!secondDate - local!firstDate)
    )
  )
)
