I have are report with shift start and end times. I have a formula giving me the difference in minutes like this.

Datediff("n",StartTime,EndTime)

Which gives me the minutes.

But if I try to /60 I am getting rounded numbers
I also tried using "h" in the datediff and got the same results

Example
1:30 pm       4:00 pm     I am getting 3.0 for the hours difference.

What I am trying to get as the result is 2:30 for the time difference.

Any help is always appeciated.

try
time({table.starttime} - {table.endtime})
then format the resulting formula field to use the "13:23" format option
 
 
...As long as you do not have any result minutes > 24 hours
