Time differences in seconds
Hi all,
I have a table like this:
| X.d | X.t | Y.d | Y.t |
| 23/11/2017 | 23:59:58 | 24/11/2017 | 00:00:03 |
Now what i want to know is the difference in seconds between X and Y. The record above will have an expected outcome of "5" I want the outcome to be a number not for example "00:00:05".
Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks in advance!

Out of my head:
= Duration.TotalSeconds(([Y.d]&[Y.t])-([X.d]&[X.t]))
Hi MarcelBeug,
Thanks for providing a solution, it worked like expected.
In the meantime I also figured on a DAX solution although I had to merge my columns to a Date/Time column. After transforming my columns to 2 date/time columns I used this DAX formula. I'll also leave it behind for other people that might seek for a DAX solution.
Column = DATEDIFF(Table1[X.dt];Table1[Y.dt];SECOND)
Thanks for helping!
