DateDiff calculation not using AMPM

[Anonymous]

Help!  New to powerapps and just can't find the answer.  I have a calculation for the minutes between start time field and end time field.  The calculation works until the calculation crosses between am to pm.  Below is my code.  What am I doing wrong ?

DateDiff(
DateValue2.SelectedDate + Time(Value(HourValue2.Selected.Value), Value(MinuteValue2.Selected.Value), Value(AmPmValue2.Selected.Value), 0),
DateValue3.SelectedDate + Time(Value(HourValue3.Selected.Value), Value(MinuteValue3.Selected.Value), Value(AmPmValue3.Selected.Value), 0),
Minutes)

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have never used the am/pm and I can't find any reference to it working, however there is one error needing correction for it to have any chance - the am/pm is text, so you do not need Value in front of it.

DateDiff(
   DateValue2.SelectedDate + 
   Time(
      Value(HourValue2.Selected.Value), 
      Value(MinuteValue2.Selected.Value), 
      AmPmValue2.Selected.Value, 0
   ),
   DateValue3.SelectedDate + 
   Time(
      Value(HourValue3.Selected.Value), 
      Value(MinuteValue3.Selected.Value), 
      AmPmValue3.Selected.Value, 0),
   Minutes
)

If this does not work, try

DateDiff(
   DateValue2.SelectedDate + 
   Time(
      If(
         AmPmValue2.Selected.Value = "PM",
         Value(HourValue2.Selected.Value) + 12,
         Value(HourValue2.Selected.Value)
      ),
      Value(MinuteValue2.Selected.Value), 0
   )
   ,
   DateValue3.SelectedDate + 
   Time(
      If(
         AmPmValue3.Selected.Value = "PM",
         Value(HourValue2.Selected.Value) + 12,
         Value(HourValue3.Selected.Value)
      ),
      Value(MinuteValue3.Selected.Value), 0
   ),
   Minutes
)

The second code is working like a charm.  Thank you!
