Hi Amartuvshin,

As per my understanding, in App Designer you want to take input two date interval and calculate the duration between them.

In MATLAB App Designer, you can calculate the time duration between two dates by using the datetime data type and the “between” function to compute the difference. First, you would typically have two “uidatepicker” components for the user to select the start and end dates. Then, you would have a Button that, when clicked, calculates the duration between the two dates and displays the result in a Label or any other UI component you prefer.

Please refer to the documentation of “between” for more information on calculating calendar math differences:

Please refer to the documentation of “uidatepicker” for more information on creating date picker component:

I hope this helps.

Hi Amartuvshin,

Taking HH:MM:SS directly from "uidatepicker" is not possible. As a workaround you can take the time input using text-based UI editfield.

Please refer to documentation of "uieditfield" for more information on creating text or numeric edit field component:
