Date & Time

dateDifference

Returns the time between two dates as a timespan string ("days.hours:minutes:seconds").

Syntax

dateDifference('<startDate>', '<endDate>')

dateDifference('2015-02-08', '2018-07-30')

'1268.00:00:00'

Under one day there is no days part (for example "05:30:00"), so splitting on "." to get days fails. ticks() is a sturdier way to count days.
