Re: Create total time formula

hey C Warner,

1) create a new formula named Seconds (to place on the Details section) with syntax like

timevar t := {your time field};

numbervar s:=(hour(t)*3600) + (minute(t)*60) + second(t);

2) right click on the Seconds formula and choose Insert > Summary > Sum and also change the Summary Location to be your group

3) now right click on the Seconds formula again and choose Insert > Summary > Average and change the Summary Location to be your group

4) right click on the Summary and choose Format > go to the Common tab > Display String and enter this syntax which will change the output of the formula from seconds to a readable time display.

numbervar ts:= currentfieldvalue;

numbervar hs;

numbervar ms;

numbervar ss;

hs:= truncate((remainder(ts,86400))/3600);

ms:= truncate((remainder(ts,3600))/60);

ss:= truncate(remainder(ts,60));

stringvar display:= totext(hs,'00') + ":" + totext(ms,'00') + ":" + totext(ss,'00');

display

5) if you want you can also move this summary to the Group Header and then suppress the Group Footer.
