Trying to build a Timesheet

What I’m trying to do

Im trying to use Dataview to build a timesheet to keep track of employee clock in and clockout times. id like this query to

  • Only pull from files made in the last week
  • Calculate total hours - minus 30 minutes for lunch
  • Create individual row per employee, per day
    • I’m ok with any kind of formatting that returns a readable result.
  • Im using this metadata
    • Employee:: John Doe
      • Login:: 07:00
      • Logout:: 15:30
    • Employee:: Jane Smith
      • Login:: 06:00
      • Logout:: 9:30
  • Im using this dataview query
TABLE Employee, Login, Logout, 
  (number(split(Logout, ":")[0]) - number(split(Login, ":")[0]) 
  + (number(split(Logout, ":")[1]) - number(split(Login, ":")[1])) / 60 - 0.5) AS "Total Hours"
FROM ""
WHERE Employee  
FLATTEN Employee AS Employee
FLATTEN Login AS Login
FLATTEN Logout AS Logout

And it is returning this result

File8 Employee Login Logout Total Hours
2023-10-01 John Doe 07:00 15:30 8
2023-10-01 John Doe 07:00 9:30 2
2023-10-01 John Doe 06:00 15:30 9
2023-10-01 John Doe 06:00 9:30 3
2023-10-01 Jane Smith 07:00 15:30 8
2023-10-01 Jane Smith 07:00 9:30 2
2023-10-01 Jane Smith 06:00 15:30 9
2023-10-01 Jane Smith 06:00 9:30 3
