Auto Calculating Timesheet in Adobe Forms

Hi all,

 

New to using Adobe, currently trying to make a fillable timesheet which automatically calculates employees total hours once they enter their start and finish times - every solution which I have found requires custom scripting which I am not fully aware of how to do! Would anyone know of any potential solutions or be able to point me in the right direction for guidance? Thank you! 🙂

 

I have attatched a screenshot for context

If you're interested, I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to set up such calculations very easily, without having to write any code yourself. You just select the fields in question, enter some settings, and it does the rest for you! You can get it here: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-calculate-time-differences-in-a-worksheet

Complex caculations require scripting. So you either figure out the scripting or hire help.  

Did you find any solutions on these forums that are a close fit for your form?  I have answered several post in the past that are very similar.  All you really need is a way to find the difference between two times.
