The file you uploaded is an XLS file, not a CSV file.

Please upload a CSV file that everyone can open.

Script (without Perl):-

Code:
cat new.csv | awk -F, ' { print $7 "," $8 } ' | egrep -v "unix|Event" | while IFS="," read event_date create_date
do
 dt_diff=$(( $(date -d "$create_date" +%s) - $(date -d "$event_date" +%s) ))
 echo -e "${event_date}, ${create_date}, \c"
 printf "%02d:%02d:%02d\n", $(($dt_diff/3600)) $(($dt_diff%3600/60)) $(($dt_diff%60))
done

For perl example you can refer here

awk can open file/s on its own. You don't need cat there. And egrep after the awk is overkill.

elixir_sinari, I really appreciate your suggestion.

Correction:-

Code:
awk -F, '!/unix/ && !/Event/  { print $7 "," $8 } ' new.csv | while IFS="," read event_date create_date
