Hi Constanza,

Did you have a look at https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/between-date-function-calls/? The dateTime function can be used to create a new DateTime value. The minutesBetween function takes two date variables as an input (or from an object like $Object/DateAttribute.).

A small addition; the type would be a decimal and not a DateTime, as it will calculate the difference.
