Hi, I am a new user… can someone help how to get the amount of the time duration?
Thanks,

Change the ‘minutes’ to ‘seconds’. It’s because you have the format in a time format. This formula is built well for a field with a format of Intiger. You’re looking for an output in duration so switching it to seconds will make the difference. So your formula would now read;
IF(
AND({End Time}, {Start time}),
DATETIME_DIFF({End Time}, {Start time}, 'seconds')
)

Welcome to the community, @Takashi_Takiguchi!
If you’d like to return your result in minutes, this is the formula you would use:
IF(
AND({End Time}, {Start time}),
DATETIME_DIFF({End Time}, {Start time}, 'minutes')
)

Thank you for your helping hand @ScottWorld.
Unfortunately, it’s not working… how I cut and pasted the formula is wrong?
