The accompanying video and post for this solution are in Italian and Google Translate might be required. This is a great resource and another example of a high quality video produced by the Apps Script community.

The following Google Apps Script is designed to get the difference (in minutes) between 2 dates from a Google Sheet. This was part of a tool used to create events from data in a Google Sheet where I needed to get the duration of the meeting for Zoom. The actual date, hour and minute values are separated in columns as it was easier to control user input in that format, so we will need to piece them together.
