I have repeating group that has clock in and clock out time. I have been able calculate time difference and show it on the each row. Now I want to calculate a total time(summary) from all rows. It seems to be a bit tricky. Any help?
There are a couple of ways of going about it. Largely depends on how you’ve structured your database. Though here’s what I would recommend.
At a base level, you likely have two date-based fields: clock-in time and clock-out time. Update your database structure to include a field called “interval” and format the field type as “date interval”. This will format the date value as an exact millisecond value, which you can then convert display into a different form.
When your user clocks out, within the make changes to a thing workflow, you’ll also update the “interval” field. The structure should look something like Clock Out Time’s value - Clock In Time’s value.
Finally, on the repeating group, you can have a function that sums everything up. (Ie. Repeating group’s Time Log Event’s Intervals:sum.

Hey Dan, I added date interval field and it’s working fine on a row level. Thanks for this. It allows me to add “brakes if it’s needed”.
I’m still not able to sum all the intervals fields so that I can get a total summary. I’m not able to find :sum
If you’re comfortable doing so, mind sending me a link to your editor in a private message?
If your data structure is set up correctly, you should see options that look like the video below.
Could you show a screen shot of the database structure for this? I believe that would be very useful for others as it is an integral part to replicating this very helpful technique which could help a lot of users with creating appointment booking apps.
Cheers
Hello Dan. Your reply gave me multiple answers so I figured I ask you. So I am making a clockin site for a Roleplay community (staff need a certain amount of hours mod patrolling each day) and wanted something like https://clockify.me
Do you know why it is displaying like this? I want it to display like: HH:MM.
shhhg
