Not 100% sure what you mean but sure you get there quick with DATEDIFF, select the 2 columns and define what interval, seconds, days etc.

Hi thanks for reaching out! I need to find the difference between how much my printer printed this month in order to find that i have to subtract the current counter total with the counter total of the previous month. since my printer is used it had a lot of counter "miles" haha with that said i have to find the difference like that subtracting this month counter total and the previous one 

I forgot to mention aswell all of the dates of this month and the past months are in the same column i extracted from the database
