Sum of Route Times in Access?











up vote

favorite












I have a field in Access that takes the date difference between 2 time values to determine the total route time. Now I need to add up all the values in that field to determine how many hours:Minutes of route time happened on x date. This is the code I have to calculate the total route time for each record:



Me.tbTotalRouteTime.Value = Format(DateAdd("n", -50, [ReturnTime]) - [DispatchTime], "Short Time")


I tried summing it in a field like this:



=Sum([TotalRTTime])


Now I need to adjust the fomrat, so I tried hhh:nn but it doesn't give me the correct result. What format do I need to show the exact amount of hours and minutes?

          That could be:



          Me!tbTotalRouteTime.Value = Format(Sum(DateAdd("n", -50, [ReturnTime]) - [DispatchTime]), "h:nn")


          If you will sum to 24 hours or more, a custom function is needed, like:



          Public Function FormatHourMinute( _
          ByVal datTime As Date, _

          ' converted to hours and minutes as a formatted string
          ' with an optional choice of time separator.
          '
          ' Example:
          ' datTime: #10:03# + #20:01#
          ' returns: 30:04
          '
          ' 2005-02-05. Cactus Data ApS, CPH.

          Dim strHour As String
          Dim strMinute As String
          Dim strHourMinute As String

          strHour = CStr(Fix(datTime) * 24 + Hour(datTime))
          ' Add leading zero to minute count when needed.
          strMinute = Right("0" & CStr(Minute(datTime)), 2)
          strHourMinute = strHour & strSeparator & strMinute

          FormatHourMinute = strHourMinute

          End Function
