DateDiff and then SUM

DateDiff and then SUM

DateDiff and then SUM

(OP)
Hi

I have used the below code to calculate the difference between 2 datetime fields. The result is in seconds but I would like it to display hours and minutes and seconds if possible. I have tried SUM and also converet with just Time instead of datetime. Any ideas please

DATEDIFF(MINUTE,CONVERT(DATETIME,dbo.WTTReportHeader.StartTime,101),CONVERT(DATETIME,dbo.WTTReportHeader.EndTime,101)) as Timediff



RE: DateDiff and then SUM

As in my reply to your previous question:

CODE

SELECT LEFT(CONVERT(TIME, DATEADD(ss, DATEDIFF(ss,dbo.WTTReportHeader.StartTime, dbo.WTTReportHeader.EndTime),0)),8) 
FROM YourTable

Hi bborissov
Thanks for the post, I was trying to use your code from the previous post but could not quite get it right with the convert and then the datediff.
Your line of code worked first time so thank you for your help, really appreciated.
