The DaysDiff Heater makes it possible to calculate the difference between two date and/or time fields. You must always supply  two incoming date/time values to the Heater. The second incoming value is subtracted from the first.

Calculating date and time values

Configuration

In the configuration popup for the Heater you can define the units you want the result in. The following options are available:

1. Days (default)
2. Hours
3. Minutes
4. Seconds

You can also check another configuration option if you want decimal fractions to be returned, for example, from the date/time values

1st incoming value: 02/06/2012 12:00:00
2nd incoming value: 02/06/2012 00:00:00

a difference of 0.5 (half a day) is returned. In this instance, without a decimal fraction a zero value would result.
