Time differences in seconds

[Anonymous]

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!

Best Regards,
