Greetings

I am working on a task system. I want to calculate how long it takes to attend to a task, to move to the next step etc until the task is completed or if tracking issue resolution then the time it takes to resolve the issue.

How can I find the number of days:hours:min between the two vital dates i.e. the date created and the date completed.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

If(IsEmpty ( Date1 ) or IsEmpty (Date2);""; Date1 - Date2 )

This is one calculation that I use. The result is a number and returns the number of days between the dates. This is the easy one.

There are other methods that need used if you want to know the number of "buisness Days". (excluding weekends, holidays, ...)"buisness days" is often more usefull from a managment viewpoint. If you need that let me know. (it has been a number of years since I've had to use this method)
