Hi,

I'm a novice here, and could use some help. I have a column of string data that looks like:
time frame: 225.55695~225.6712
time frame: 31.1949~32.9995

I'd like to apply something to the F(x)= of an adjacent column that will calculate the duration from those strings. If anyone could point me in the right direction. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tharanee

Like this, assuming your text is in column A 


value(token(A,2,"~")$) - value(token(A,1,"~")$)


and you can read more on this blog:
