Socrata was acquired by Tyler Technologies in 2018 and is now the Data and Insights division of Tyler. The platform is still powered by the same software formerly known as Socrata but you will see references to Data & Insights going forward.

datetime_diff

Function: datetime_diff
  Calculates the difference between two dates in seconds, minutes, hours, days, business days, weeks, calendar weeks, months, or years.
  The transform requires fixed timestamps to do the calculation. For business days, it will include the first and last days.

Examples:

  datetime_diff(to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:53Z'), to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:55Z'), 'UTC', 'seconds')
  -- Result: "2"

  datetime_diff(to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:53Z'), to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:36:55Z'), 'UTC', 'minutes')
  -- Result: "12"

  datetime_diff(to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:53Z'), to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T12:24:55Z'), 'UTC', 'hours')
  -- Result: "12"

  datetime_diff(to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:53Z'), to_fixed_timestamp('2018-02-15T00:24:55Z'), 'UTC', 'days')
  -- Result: "64"

  datetime_diff(to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:53Z'), to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-25T00:24:55Z'), 'UTC', 'business days')
  -- Result: "9"

  datetime_diff(to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:53Z'), to_fixed_timestamp('2018-02-25T00:24:55Z'), 'UTC', 'weeks')
  -- Result: "10"

  datetime_diff(to_fixed_timestamp('2017-12-13T00:24:53Z'), to_fixed_timestamp('2018-02-25T00:24:55Z'), 'UTC', 'months')
  -- Result: "2"
