How to get working days between 2 time stamps

Hello likhithan 

You can test out the calworkdays(). Here is a reference for documentation calworkdays(). Have you tried converting epoch values and calculate when it comes to seconds?  It would return epoch seconds and you can convert into days. 

I have tried calworkdays() but no use becasue when I have time stamp with in same day lets say [3/11/2024 9:24 AM EDT] and [3/11/2024 9:26 AM EDT] then here the difference is just  2 min right . But when I use this function, days will be coming as 1 but difference between these two dates we cannot expect days as 1

Then I would say epoch conversions and calculations will definetely help.

What is this epoch conversions could you please explain 

Here is a reference where you can check the conversions. and create a custom expression rule to evaluate accordingly.

Epoch Converter

a!localVariables(
  local!MaxDateTimeForAssigned: todatetime(
    rule!ERR_GetMaxDateTimeByStatus(
      statusId: cons!ERR_STATUS[3],
      trackingId: ri!trackingId
    )
  ),
  local!MaxDateTimeForWaitingApproval: todatetime(
    rule!ERR_GetMaxDateTimeByStatus(
      statusId: cons!ERR_STATUS[5],
      trackingId: ri!trackingId
    )
  ),
  local!CycleTime: if(
    or(
      a!isNullOrEmpty(local!MaxDateTimeForAssigned),
      a!isNullOrEmpty(local!MaxDateTimeForWaitingApproval)
    ),
    {},
    local!MaxDateTimeForWaitingApproval - local!MaxDateTimeForAssigned,
    
  ),
  local!format: if(
    a!isNullOrEmpty(local!CycleTime),
    {},
    split(local!CycleTime, ".")[1],
    
  ),
  local!days: if(
    a!isNullOrEmpty(local!format),
    {},
    split(local!format, "::")[1],
    
  ),
  local!hours: if(
    a!isNullOrEmpty(local!format),
    {},
    if(
      local!days = 0,
      split(local!format, ":")[3],
      sum(
        (local!days * 24),
        split(local!format, ":")[3]
      )
    )
  ),
  local!min: if(
    a!isNullOrEmpty(local!format),
    {},
    split(local!format, ":")[4]
  ),
  local!sec: if(
    a!isNullOrEmpty(local!format),
    {},
    split(local!format, ":")[5]
  ),
  local!TotalCycleTime: {
    if(
      and(
        a!isNullOrEmpty(local!hours),
        a!isNullOrEmpty(local!min),
        a!isNullOrEmpty(local!sec)
      ),
      {},
      local!hours & ":" & local!min & ":" & local!sec
    )
  },
  local!TotalCycleTime
)

This will not be coming in hours:min: sec format . i already have rule where I can get difference between time stamps but my only problem is to eliminate weekend and get in the hours: min: sec format as output

Yes. You will have to construct your expression rule to calculate the difference based on the below values


Also I would say try out these for better understanding

I can understand the above mentioned way is a complex one. But the conversion of your date times will give you accurate values.

Can you please check my code. I have sent . The way you are saying like how can I eliminate weekends there

i think then you need to calculate works hours initially 

If I calculate initially then I will be getting 1 day with the dates I mentioned in the output. The the output cannot be 1 day because time difference in only 2 minutes

Konduru Chaitanya  any suggestion here after seeing my code

a!localVariables(
  local!date1: (
    "Your date time 1 here" - todatetime("01/01/1970")
  ) * 24 * 60 * 60,
  local!date2: (
    "Your date time 2 here" - todatetime("01/01/1970")
  ) * 24 * 60 * 60,
  local!getEpochfor1: index(split(local!date1, ":"), 1, null),
  local!getEpochfor2: index(split(local!date2, ":"), 1, null),
  local!difference: local!getEpochfor2 - local!getEpochfor1,
  local!days: rounddown(local!difference / 86400, 0),
  local!hours: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 3600, 24), 0),
  local!minutes: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 60, 60), 0),
  local!sec: rounddown(mod(local!difference, 60), 0),
  concat(
    local!days,
    " Days",
    " ",
    local!hours,
    " Hours",
    " ",
    local!minutes,
    " Mins",
    " ",
    local!sec,
    " Secs"
  )
)

Try replacing your date time values in the local!date1 and local!date2. Not sure how accurate it works for all values. But as far as I am getting for different values, it is giving me the expected answer

a!localVariables(
  local!date1: (
    "Your date time 1 here" - todatetime("01/01/1970")

    "Your date time 2 here" - todatetime("01/01/1970")
  ) * 24 * 60 * 60,
  local!getEpochfor1: index(split(local!date1, ":"), 1, null),
  local!getEpochfor2: index(split(local!date2, ":"), 1, null),
  local!difference: local!getEpochfor2 - local!getEpochfor1,
  local!days: rounddown(local!difference / 86400, 0),
  local!hours: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 3600, 24), 0),
  local!minutes: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 60, 60), 0),
  local!sec: rounddown(mod(local!difference, 60), 0),

Sure I will check once. Thanks. Did your code remove weekends here

a!localVariables(
  local!date1: datetime(2024, 4, 11, 13, 24, 41, 0),
  local!date2: datetime(2024, 4, 15, 13, 24, 41, 0),
  local!getEpochfor1: index(split(local!date1, ":"), 1, null),
  local!getEpochfor2: index(split(local!date2, ":"), 1, null),
  local!difference: local!getEpochfor2 - local!getEpochfor1,
  local!days: rounddown(local!difference / 86400, 0),
  local!hours: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 3600, 24), 0),
  local!minutes: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 60, 60), 0),
  local!sec: rounddown(mod(local!difference, 60), 0),
  concat(
    local!days,
    " Days",
    " ",
    local!hours,
    " Hours",
    " ",
    local!minutes,
    " Mins",
    " ",
    local!sec,
    " Secs"
  )
)

Here difference should be only 4 days but I am getting 15 hours and so on extra

You are not supposed to replace the complete value from the local!date1. I have mentioned the place where your date should be added.

a!localVariables(
  local!date1: tointeger(
    (
      datetime(2024, 4, 11, 13, 24, 41, 0) - todatetime("01/01/1970")
    ) * 24 * 60 * 60
  ),
  local!date2: tointeger(
    (
      datetime(2024, 4, 15, 13, 24, 41, 0) - todatetime("01/01/1970")
    ) * 24 * 60 * 60
  ),
  local!difference: local!date2 - local!date1,
  local!days: rounddown(local!difference / 86400, 0),
  local!hours: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 3600, 24), 0),
  local!minutes: rounddown(mod(local!difference / 60, 60), 0),
  local!sec: rounddown(mod(local!difference, 60), 0),
  concat(
    local!days,
    " Days",
    " ",
    local!hours,
    " Hours",
    " ",
    local!minutes,
    " Mins",
    " ",
    local!sec,
    " Secs"
  )
)

Can I know why you used there 1970 something date like that 

Google search on Epoch time?

I got it . Thanks a lot . Now should I use calworkdays fucntions to remove weekends  here now

Actually with my code also I am getting the same output but my problem here is to remove weekends
