How Do I Display Hours and Minutes in Crystal Reports 2008?

A number of clients have asked me the same question recently, "How do I display the difference between two date-times fields, in hours and minutes, in Crystal Reports?"

Solution:

This is more easily accomplished using the "Display String" of the field in question.

Create the formula to calaculate the difference between the two date-time fields, in minutes
Add the formula field to the report
Right click on the field
Select the Format Field menu option
In the Format Editor dialog box, click on the Common Tab
Click on the X+2 button to the right of Display String format option
Enter the following formula :

NumberVar Hrs := Truncate(CurrentFieldValue/60);

Numbervar Mins := Remainder(CurrentFieldValue,60);

Totext(Hrs,0) + " Hrs " + ToText(Mins,0) + " Mins"
