How to Calculate Elapsed Time in Filemaker - filemaker Pro Tips

This method will work even if the end time 
is on a later date than the start time.

Your database will need 5 fields added: 

DateStart (Date) 

(Date) is the field type

DateEnd (Date) 

(Date) is the field type

TimeStart (Time) 

(Time) is the field type

TimeEnd (Time)

(Time) is the field type

ElapsedTime (Time) 

Enter this calculation in the ElapsedTime field

((DateEnd - DateStart) * 86400) + TimeEnd - TimeStart 

Also Set the Calculation result of that field to time

You can set the field result to time or Date 
in the bottom of the calculation window.

The ElapsedTime field will calculate the result 

Why do you set the fields to Time instead of Number..

You set the calculation result field to Time so it will

 display the time as hours:minutes:seconds. 

NOTE- FileMaker calculates time in seconds. 

The 86400 equals the number of seconds in a day. 

When you set the calculation field result to time, 

FileMaker converts the number (of seconds) to time (hours:minutes:seconds). 

When you set the calculation field to result to Number 

FileMaker calculates the difference as a number of seconds.  

86400 equals the number of seconds in a day. 

3600 equals the number of seconds hour

Hi Everyone in todays video I am going to show you
How to get rid of Adware and Malware on your Mac
There is a free application out there called Malwarebytes
Called Anti Malware for Mac
and this application will work in Yosemite, Maverick, El Capitan which I can confirm it works
Because it removed Adware from my computer as well as all the way down to 10.7
So pretty much any Mac out there that your running
it will  be able to remove the adware and Malware so
What exactly is Adware and Malware?
Well basically if you are opening up Safari and Google Chrome and you keep going to weird websites
That are not your default page and your getting popups
and your seeing an overall degradation in speed
14
on your computer you may have adware or malware on it and you may need to remove it
So this is an application that will scan your computer for free
and actually remove it and not cause any damage at all
so let's get started
How do you get this application and how does it work
Well the first thing you want to do is go to this website
and I will put this website in the comments
https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/
you definitely want to download the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for the Mac
and you click on get my free download
and this is actually a full working free copy
it's not like it's going to have a timeout it continues to work
Once you download it, you will see it in your downloads folder
and it will be called MBAM-Mac
Once you see that in your downloads folder
Doubleclick on it and you will mount the dmg file on your desktop
and as you can see it popped up here your just going to simply click on it
and drag it into your applications folder and copy it
once it's copied double-click on the application folder
and look for the application called Malwarebytes anti malware
and double click on it and it will open
and once you do so you will see the screen the same one as I have on mine screen
the next step would be to click scan once it starts Scanning
it will scan all the known Malware that it has on file
and if it finds any you will see a pop up window
now in my case I already ran it and it actually did find one
and it removed it but here is an example
of what it might pop up afterwards
so this could be a pop up window that it shows
where the Malware is, all you would do is click on
remove selected items and that's all there is to it
You would be done, I would restart my computer afterwards
Just to make sure and run it one more time
at this point if you run it again your should get
No Malware found and that should be a perfect
working system, so at least you will know that whatever is wrong with your system
is at least not adware. This company used to be called
Adwaremedic and now they are called Malware bytes Anti Malware for the Mac
it's a terrific application for the Mac and I would highly recommend it
and let me know if it works for you
Please subscribe to my channel and like the video if it helped you out.
and Thanks for listening
