    Hi there,

    I think DATEDIFF can handle negative numbers now, DATEDIFF(startdate, enddata, HOUR) should work.


    The other way of doing this would be to calculate:
    (enddate - startdate) * 24 for hour,
    (enddate - startdate) * (24 * 60) for minutes,
    (enddate - startdate) * (24 * 60 * 60) for seconds.

     

    Best regards,
