Subtracting date and time

I am working on a delivery smartsheet, where I need to figure out how long it takes to get a product from the order phase, to the parts picked to the delivered phase.

Here is a screenshot of how our times are formatted, these can be over multiple days and not just a single 24 hour period. I looked through other posts to see if there were similar issues that had been answered, I did not see any, was curious if there was any formulas out there that I could modify to fit my data.

Thanks

Basically you will need to break apart the date from the time. From there figuring out how many days is simple. For the time... You will want to break out the hours from the minutes from the AM/PM. Convert the hours to minutes, add the minutes, find your difference, then put everything back together in the format you are wanting to display it in.

Or....

There are some rumors of time calculations becoming available sometime in 2019. If you can wait on them that is.

That sounds like quite the formula, do we have any guestimate of how long or when this will be available? Or is this just simply rumors?

I am working on putting it all together into an easy to read sheet that I can publish. Once I get it wrapped up and all of the bugs worked out, I'll post a link here. May not be for another week though as I am pretty busy today and won't be logging back on until Wednesday of next week.
