datetime difference in datetime format

Hi there !

 

A123Chauhan_0-1654692397590.png

 

I am trying to find the diff b/w these 2 columns . The output should be in datetime. 

Ultimate goal is to show  time difference as x days y hours z minutes w seconds format as the difference.

 

Is there a DAX function available for the same ?

DATEDIFF only gives one value based on HOUR, MINUTES, SECONDS that needs to be modified to finally achieve the above goal.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi, @A123-Chauhan 

You need to create multiple calculated columns to obtain results at each time granularities, and then concatenate the results.

Duration in Seconds = DATEDIFF('Table'[Datetime1],'Table'[Datetime2],SECOND)
_day = INT('Table'[Duration in Seconds]/(3600*24))
_hour = INT( MOD('Table'[Duration in Seconds],(3600*24))/3600)
_minute = INT(MOD(MOD('Table'[Duration in Seconds],(3600*24)),3600 )/60)
_second = MOD(MOD(MOD('Table'[Duration in Seconds],(3600*24)),3600 ),60)
diff = 'Table'[_day] &" days "&'Table'[_hour]&" hours "&'Table'[_minute]&" minutes "&'Table'[_second]&" seconds"

Result:
