Hi
I have a structure below:
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[OrderDetails] Script Date: 20/06/2016 09:03:04 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO --drop table [dbo].[CONSULTATION]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CONSULTATION](
[TaskID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[TakenDate] [datetime] NULL,
[CompletedDate] [datetime] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_HD_TASK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[TaskID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO
INSERT INTO [dbo].[CONSULTATION]
VALUES('2016-05-01 11:49:28.763','2016-05-01 13:46:05.660','2016-05-01 13:54:30.347'),
('2016-05-01 23:55:07.417','2016-05-02 00:33:54.367','2016-05-02 00:35:36.837'),
('2016-05-02 12:48:48.640','2016-05-02 13:36:24.420','2016-05-02 13:41:52.800'),
('2016-05-04 05:55:52.290','2016-05-04 06:20:15.590','2016-05-04 06:26:57.087')
SELECT
TaskId
,CONVERT(DATE ,c.CreatedDate)AS DateSubmitted
,CONVERT(TIME ,c.CreatedDate)AS TimeSubmitted
,CONVERT(DATE ,c.TakenDate)AS DateTaken
,CONVERT(TIME ,c.TakenDate)AS TimeTaken
,CONVERT(DATE ,c.CompletedDate)AS DateCompleted
,CONVERT(TIME ,c.CompletedDate)AS TimeCompleted
FROM [dbo].[CONSULTATION] c
I want to calculate duration of the call by Duration = (Time Completed - Time Taken)
And Response Time = (Time Taken - Time Submitted)
But also put into account the call can go over night.

I was trying

WITH cte AS (
SELECT
TaskId
,CONVERT(DATE ,c.CreatedDate)AS DateSubmitted
,CONVERT(TIME ,c.CreatedDate)AS TimeSubmitted
,CONVERT(DATE ,c.TakenDate)AS DateTaken
,CONVERT(TIME ,c.TakenDate)AS TimeTaken
,CONVERT(DATE ,c.CompletedDate)AS DateCompleted
,CONVERT(TIME ,c.CompletedDate)AS TimeCompleted
FROM [dbo].[CONSULTATION] c
)
SELECT
TaskId
,DateSubmitted
,TimeSubmitted
,DateTaken
,TimeTaken
,DateCompleted
,TimeCompleted
,(TimeCompleted - TimeTaken) AS Duration
FROM cte

But can't get it right

Check out the DATEDIFF function: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/ms189794.aspx

E.g this returns the duration in minutes

DATEDIFF(MINUTE,TimeTaken,TimeCompleted) AS Duration

SELECT *,

[Duration] = DATEDIFF(SECOND, c.TakenDate, c.CompletedDate),

[Response Time] = DATEDIFF(SECOND, c.CreatedDate, c.TakenDate)

FROM #CONSULTATION c

You're making a mistake of using DATE and TIME data types inside of the query.

They are for presentation only.

SELECT

TaskId

,CONVERT(DATE ,c.CreatedDate)AS DateSubmitted

,CONVERT(TIME ,c.CreatedDate)AS TimeSubmitted

,CONVERT(DATE ,c.TakenDate)AS DateTaken

,CONVERT(TIME ,c.TakenDate)AS TimeTaken

,CONVERT(DATE ,c.CompletedDate)AS DateCompleted

,CONVERT(TIME ,c.CompletedDate)AS TimeCompleted

,FLOOR (CONVERT(FLOAT, [CompletedDate] - [TakenDate])) AS DurationDays

,convert(time, [CompletedDate] - [TakenDate]) AS DurationTime

FROM [dbo].[CONSULTATION] c
