Hi all,

Need some help. I have a Date_Time Value Column from Sharepoint as a card in my view form which looks as follows:

The datacard looks like this:

I have another datacard which looks exactly the same format wise, but the date/time will be further in the future compared to the above date/timestamp, e.g. May 23, 2021 01:50.

What I would like to achieve is the following:
May 23, 2021 01:50 - May 22,2021 11:00 = 14 hours and 50 minutes difference.

How to approach this? seen some examples about datediff and time diff but the combination I could not easily make and I guess I need a combination of those 2 to fix the above. Any help much appreciated!

Hi @debarbanson ,

Something like this

With( { wDiff: DateDiff( DateCard1.SelectedDate + Time( Value(HourCard1.Selected.Value), Value(MinuteCard1.Selected.Value), 0 ), DateCard2.SelectedDate + Time( Value(HourCard2.Selected.Value), Value(MinuteCard1.Selected.Value), 0 ), Minutes ), }, Text(RoundDown(wDiff/60,0)) & ":" & Text(Mod(wDiff,60) )

Dear @WarrenBelz ,

Many thanks for your reply! I have used your code and this would be the result:

With(
{
wDiff:
DateDiff(
DateValue2.SelectedDate +
Time(
Value(HourValue2.Selected.Value),
Value(MinuteValue2.Selected.Value),0
),
DateValue5.SelectedDate +
Time(
Value(HourValue5.Selected.Value),
Value(MinuteValue5.Selected.Value),0
),
Minutes
),
},
Text(RoundDown(wDiff/60,0)) & ":" &
Text(Mod(wDiff,60))
)

However I get an error message from Powerapps:
Expected colon. We expected a colon (:) at this point in the formula. I can't seem to figure out where this should be present, any clue?

I have for the moment split up 2 labels, one with the date diff and the other one with the Text Rounddown and that works so I'm puzzled why the combined version does not work.
