I have this query below, basically I'm trying to subtract 2 dates and get the hours.
However, I need the subtracted time to be multiplied by the number of cleaners
SELECT
CONVERT(TIME, ClientBooking.TimeEnd - ClientBooking.TimeStart) AS HoursWorked2,
ClientBooking.NumberOfCleaners AS NumberOfCleaners,
ClientBooking.TimeStart,
ClientBooking.TimeEnd,
ClientBooking.ClientID,
((((ClientInfo.FirstName + N' ') +
ClientInfo.LastName) + N' ') +
ClientInfo.Company) AS ClientName,
((((ClientInfo.Address + N' - ') +
ClientInfo.City) + N' - ') +
ClientInfo.ZipCode) AS Address,
((ClientInfo.PhoneNumber + N' ') +
ClientInfo.EmailAddress) AS Contact,
(ClientBooking.HourlyRate / 60) AS MinRate,
(DATEDIFF(MINUTE,ClientBooking.TimeStart,ClientBooking.TimeEnd) * ClientBooking.NumberOfCleaners) AS Quantity,
ClientBooking.HourlyRate,
DATEDIFF(HOUR, ClientBooking.TimeStart, ClientBooking.TimeEnd) AS HoursWorked
FROM
(dbo.ClientBooking ClientBooking
INNER JOIN
dbo.ClientInfo ClientInfo ON (ClientInfo.ClientID = ClientBooking.ClientID))
Basically, I need to multiply the result of this:
CONVERT(TIME,"ClientBooking"."TimeEnd" - "ClientBooking"."TimeStart" )
How About using this:
Select
convert(time,DATEADD(MINUTE, ( convert(float,(DATEDIFF(minute, ClientBooking.TimeStart, ClientBooking.TimeEnd) * ClientBooking.NumberOfCleaners))/60), ''))
FROM
(dbo.ClientBooking ClientBooking
INNER JOIN
dbo.ClientInfo ClientInfo ON (ClientInfo.ClientID = ClientBooking.ClientID))
Sorry if i have missed a parenthesis !!
You can use DATEDIFF() function..
Something like:
DATEDIFF(hour, ClientBooking.TimeStart, ClientBooking.TimeEnd) * ClientBooking.NumberOfCleaners
as your desired column!
If I understand you correctly this could help you:
declare #start datetime = '2018-11-02 07:00:00'
declare #end datetime = '2018-11-02 08:03:00'
declare #diff int
Select #diff = DATEDIFF(minute,#start,#end)
Select case
when #diff < 60 then concat('00:', right('0' + convert(varchar,#diff), 2))
when #diff >= 60 and #diff < 120 then '01:' + right('0' + convert(varchar,#diff - 60), 2)
when #diff >= 120 and #diff < 180 then '02:' + right('0' + convert(varchar,#diff - 120), 2)
when #diff >= 180 and #diff < 240 then '03:' + right('0' + convert(varchar,#diff - 180), 2)
end
Of course you would need to add the following hours as well.
I've splitted everything up, so it is easier to understand. But you should be able to write it in one line and without variables as well
Hope this helps.
I have datetime column value below
2015-01-04 20:37:00.000
I tried below
cast(cast(MyDateColumn as date) as datetime)+cast(datepart(hour,MyDateColumn ) as float)/24
as MyDateColumn
and
CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(16),MyDateColumn,113) AS datetime) as MyDateColumn
These are did not work for me
How can i get above datetime as 01-04.2015 20:37 ?
Since MS SQL 2012, you can use FORMAT,
SELECT FORMAT([MyDateColumn], 'dd-MM.yyyy HH:mm')
In MYSQL it will work
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') AS formated_date FROM table;
In MS SQL It will work
SELECT FORMAT(getdate(), 'dd-mm-yyyy HH:mm')
In SQL Server this will work:
DECLARE #now [datetime];
SET #now = GETDATE();
SELECT
CONVERT([varchar](10), #now, 105) + ' ' +
RIGHT('0' + CONVERT([varchar](2), DATEPART(HOUR, #now)), 2) + ':' +
RIGHT('0' + CONVERT([varchar](2), DATEPART(MINUTE, #now)), 2);
In SQL Server this should do the trick:
declare #dt datetime = '2015-01-04 20:37:00.000'
select right('0' + cast(DATEPART(MM, #dt) as varchar), 2) + '-'
+ right('0' +cast(DATEPART(DAY, #dt) as varchar), 2) + '.'
+ cast(DATEPART(YEAR, #dt) as varchar) + ' '
+ right('0' +cast(DATEPART(HOUR, #dt) as varchar), 2) + ':'
+ right('0' +cast(DATEPART(MINUTE, #dt) as varchar), 2)
Simply,
SELECT CAST(CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(), 100) as datetime)
Here's another way and you get a datetime in return.
SELECT DATEADD(
MILLISECOND,
DATEPART(MILLISECOND, '2016-02-16 13:45:24.573') * -1,
DATEADD(SECOND, DATEPART(SECOND,'2016-02-16 13:45:24.573') * -1,
'2016-02-16 13:45:24.573')
)
this is the way i do it. I needed to get -2 minutes
select CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(CHAR(18), DATEADD(minute, -2, getdate()) , 113) + '00')
Format(Cast(Convert(varchar(15),Cast(timeval as Time),100) as DateTime),'hh:mm tt') As newtime
This will remove seconds from time as well as add AM,PM with time.
Is there any way to take the difference between two datetime in sql server?
For example, my dates are
2010-01-22 15:29:55.090
2010-01-22 15:30:09.153
So, the result should be 14.063 seconds.
Just a caveat to add about DateDiff, it counts the number of times you pass the boundary you specify as your units, so is subject to problems if you are looking for a precise timespan.
e.g.
select datediff (m, '20100131', '20100201')
gives an answer of 1, because it crossed the boundary from January to February, so even though the span is 2 days, datediff would return a value of 1 - it crossed 1 date boundary.
select datediff(mi, '2010-01-22 15:29:55.090' , '2010-01-22 15:30:09.153')
Gives a value of 1, again, it passed the minute boundary once, so even though it is approx 14 seconds, it would be returned as a single minute when using Minutes as the units.
SELECT DATEDIFF (MyUnits, '2010-01-22 15:29:55.090', '2010-01-22 15:30:09.153')
Substitute "MyUnits" based on DATEDIFF on MSDN
SELECT DATEDIFF(day, '2010-01-22 15:29:55.090', '2010-01-22 15:30:09.153')
Replace day with other units you want to get the difference in, like second, minute etc.
I can mention four important functions of MS SQL Server that can be very useful:
1) The function DATEDIFF() is responsible to calculate differences between two dates, the result could be "year quarter month dayofyear day week hour minute second millisecond microsecond nanosecond", specified on the first parameter (datepart):
select datediff(day,'1997-10-07','2011-09-11')
2) You can use the function GETDATE() to get the actual time and calculate differences of some date and actual date:
select datediff(day,'1997-10-07', getdate() )
3) Another important function is DATEADD(), used to convert some value in datetime using the same datepart of the datediff, that you can add (with positive values) or substract (with negative values) to one base date:
select DATEADD(day, 45, getdate()) -- actual datetime adding 45 days
select DATEADD( s,-638, getdate()) -- actual datetime subtracting 10 minutes and 38 seconds
4) The function CONVERT() was made to format the date like you need, it is not parametric function, but you can use part of the result to format the result like you need:
select convert( char(8), getdate() , 8) -- part hh:mm:ss of actual datetime
select convert( varchar, getdate() , 112) -- yyyymmdd
select convert( char(10), getdate() , 20) -- yyyy-mm-dd limited by 10 characters
DATETIME cold be calculated in seconds and one interesting result mixing these four function is to show a formated difference um hours, minutes and seconds (hh:mm:ss) between two dates:
declare #date1 datetime, #date2 datetime
set #date1=DATEADD(s,-638,getdate())
set #date2=GETDATE()
select convert(char(8),dateadd(s,datediff(s,#date1,#date2),'1900-1-1'),8)
... the result is 00:10:38 (638s = 600s + 38s = 10 minutes and 38 seconds)
Another example:
select distinct convert(char(8),dateadd(s,datediff(s, CRDATE , GETDATE() ),'1900-1-1'),8) from sysobjects order by 1
I tried this way and it worked. I used SQL Server version 2016
SELECT DATEDIFF(MILLISECOND,'2010-01-22 15:29:55.090', '2010-01-22 15:30:09.153')/1000.00;
Different DATEDIFF Functions are:
SELECT DATEDIFF(year, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(quarter, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(month, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(dayofyear, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(day, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(week, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(hour, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(minute, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(second, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');
SELECT DATEDIFF(millisecond, '2005-12-31 23:59:59.9999999', '2006-01-01 00:00:00.0000000');

Ok we all know the answer involves DATEDIFF(). But that gives you only half the result you may be after. What if you want to get the results in human-readable format, in terms of Minutes and Seconds between two DATETIME values?
The CONVERT(), DATEADD() and of course DATEDIFF() functions are perfect for a more easily readable result that your clients can use, instead of a number.
i.e.
CONVERT(varchar(5), DATEADD(minute, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, date1, date2), 0), 114)
This will give you something like:
HH:MM
If you want more precision, just increase the VARCHAR().
CONVERT(varchar(12), DATEADD(minute, DATEDIFF(MINUTE, date1, date2), 0), 114)
HH:MM.SS.MS
There are a number of ways to look at a date difference, and more when comparing date/times. Here's what I use to get the difference between two dates formatted as "HH:MM:SS":
ElapsedTime AS
RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) / 3600 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 3600 / 60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
I used this for a calculated column, but you could trivially rewrite it as a UDF or query calculation. Note that this logic rounds down fractional seconds; 00:00.00 to 00:00.999 is considered zero seconds, and displayed as "00:00:00".
If you anticipate that periods may be more than a few days long, this code switches to D:HH:MM:SS format when needed:
ElapsedTime AS
CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) >= 359999
THEN
CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) / 86400 AS VARCHAR(7)) + ':'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 86400 / 3600 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 3600 / 60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
ELSE
RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) / 3600 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 3600 / 60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
+ RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
END
The following query should give the exact stuff you are looking out for.
select datediff(second, '2010-01-22 15:29:55.090' , '2010-01-22 15:30:09.153')
Here is the link from MSDN for what all you can do with datediff function .
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189794.aspx
Internally in SQL Server dates are stored as 2 integers. The first integer is the number of days before or after the base date (1900/01/01). The second integer stores the number of clock ticks after midnight, each tick is 1/300 of a second.
More info here
Because of this, I often find the simplest way to compare dates is to simply substract them. This handles 90% of my use cases. E.g.,
select date1, date2, date2 - date1 as DifferenceInDays
from MyTable
...
When I need an answer in units other than days, I will use DateDiff.
SELECT DATEDIFF(yyyy, '2011/08/25', '2017/08/25') AS DateDiff
It's gives you difference between two dates in Year
Here (2017-2011)=6 as a result
Syntax:
DATEDIFF(interval, date1, date2)
Use This for DD:MM:SS:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(max), Datediff(dd, '2019-08-14 03:16:51.360',
'2019-08-15 05:45:37.610'))
+ ':'
+ CONVERT(CHAR(8), Dateadd(s, Datediff(s, '2019-08-14 03:16:51.360',
'2019-08-15 05:45:37.610'), '1900-1-1'), 8)
So this isn't my answer but I just found this while searching around online for a question like this as well. This guy set up a procedure to calculate hours, minutes and seconds. The link and the code:
--Creating Function
If OBJECT_ID('UFN_HourMinuteSecond') Is Not Null
Drop Function dbo.UFN_HourMinuteSecond
Go
Exec(
'Create Function dbo.UFN_HourMinuteSecond
(
#StartDateTime DateTime,
#EndDateTime DateTime
) Returns Varchar(10)
As
Begin
Declare #Seconds Int,
#Minute Int,
#Hour Int,
#Elapsed Varchar(10)
Select #Seconds = ABS(DateDiff(SECOND ,#StartDateTime,#EndDateTime))
If #Seconds >= 60
Begin
select #Minute = #Seconds/60
select #Seconds = #Seconds%60
If #Minute >= 60
begin
select #hour = #Minute/60
select #Minute = #Minute%60
end
Else
Goto Final
End
Final:
Select #Hour = Isnull(#Hour,0), #Minute = IsNull(#Minute,0), #Seconds = IsNull(#Seconds,0)
select #Elapsed = Cast(#Hour as Varchar) + '':'' + Cast(#Minute as Varchar) + '':'' + Cast(#Seconds as Varchar)
Return (#Elapsed)
End'
)
declare #dt1 datetime='2012/06/13 08:11:12', #dt2 datetime='2012/06/12 02:11:12'
select CAST((#dt2-#dt1) as time(0))
PRINT DATEDIFF(second,'2010-01-22 15:29:55.090','2010-01-22 15:30:09.153')
select
datediff(millisecond,'2010-01-22 15:29:55.090','2010-01-22 15:30:09.153') / 1000.0 as Secs
result:
Secs
14.063
Just thought I'd mention it.
Sol-1:
select
StartTime
, EndTime
, CONVERT(NVARCHAR,(EndTime-StartTime), 108) as TimeDiff
from
[YourTable]
Sol-2:
select
StartTime
, EndTime
, DATEDIFF(hh, StartTime, EndTime)
, DATEDIFF(mi, StartTime, EndTime) % 60
from
[YourTable]
Sol-3:
select
DATEPART(hour,[EndTime]-[StartTime])
, DATEPART(minute,[EndTime]-[StartTime])
from
[YourTable]
Datepart works the best

For Me This worked Perfectly
Convert(varchar(8),DATEADD(SECOND,DATEDIFF(SECOND,LogInTime,LogOutTime),0),114)
and the Output is
HH:MM:SS which is shown accurately in my case.
Please try
DECLARE #articleDT DATETIME;
DECLARE #nowDate DATETIME;
-- Time of the ARTICLE created
SET #articleDT = '2012-04-01 08:10:16';
-- Simulation of NOW datetime
-- (in real world you would probably use GETDATE())
SET #nowDate = '2012-04-10 11:35:36';
-- Created 9 days ago.
SELECT 'Created ' + CAST(DATEDIFF(day, #articleDT, #nowDate) AS NVARCHAR(50)) + ' days ago.';
-- Created 1 weeks, 2 days, 3 hours, 25 minutes and 20 seconds ago.
SELECT 'Created '
+ CAST(DATEDIFF(second, #articleDT, #nowDate) / 60 / 60 / 24 / 7 AS NVARCHAR(50)) + ' weeks, '
+ CAST(DATEDIFF(second, #articleDT, #nowDate) / 60 / 60 / 24 % 7 AS NVARCHAR(50)) + ' days, '
+ CAST(DATEDIFF(second, #articleDT, #nowDate) / 60 / 60 % 24 AS NVARCHAR(50)) + ' hours, '
+ CAST(DATEDIFF(second, #articleDT, #nowDate) / 60 % 60 AS NVARCHAR(50)) + ' minutes and '
+ CAST(DATEDIFF(second, #articleDT, #nowDate) % 60 AS NVARCHAR(50)) + ' seconds ago.';
For MS SQL, you can convert the datetime value to a double value.
The integer part contains the number of days since 1900-01-01, the fractional part contains the time in hours.
So you can calculate date difference as:
cast(date1-date2 as FLOAT)
