Calculation of total hours worked by date

[PeteW]

Hi

Been using the time billing solution and cannot seem to be able to create a calculation that totals the hours worked by date. My purpose is to add a field to the form that shows me how many hrs I have worked that day.

For example, I work one date on item A for 2 hrs, B for 2.5, C for 3. My total for that day = 7.5 hrs.

Next date, different items and hours for each, but think you get the drift.

Seems pretty basic, but I cannot seem to resolve. Any thoughts would be kindly appreciated, thanks for your help. Cheers...

Perhaps the Example in the FileMaker Pro 10 Advanced Application folder [color:blue]>> English Extras [color:blue]>> Templates [color:blue]>> Business - Finance [color:blue]>> [color:blue]Time Billing.fp7 would help you.

Since you are on fm10, should this get you going:

...provided you have stayed away from the repeating fields temptation?

Thanks for your help, the replies were very good ! I had been working with the Time Billing solution as you mentioned, and I popped a new window that contained a subsummary report. Works great !
