How to Calculate Total Hours Worked in a Day by Each User in MySQL

If you’re dealing with employee time management or attendance, calculating the number of hours worked in a day per user can be a crucial task. In this guide, we'll walk you through a MySQL solution to determine how many hours each user stayed at work on any given day.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine we have a dataset with timestamps showing when users checked in (in) and checked out (out). Our goal is to compute how long each user worked each day. For instance, given the following sample data:

workercodetimestampaction0119/07/20 09:00:00_in0119/07/20 16:00:00_out0120/07/20 09:00:00_in0120/07/20 13:00:00_out0216/07/20 09:00:00_in0216/07/20 15:00:00_outThe output we desire is something like this:

workercodedatetotal hours0119/07/2070120/07/2040216/07/206The SQL Solution

Let’s break down the SQL queries required to achieve this. We'll cover the steps for creating the table, inserting the sample data, and retrieving the output.

Step 1: Create the Table and Insert Data

Step 2: Calculate Total Hours

Now, let's construct the query that calculates the total hours worked per day.

Explanation of the Query

Subquery Creation:

We select the date from the timestamp using the DATE function along with year, month, and day.

We group the data by workercode and the calculated day.

Aggregating Hours:

We use MAX and MIN functions to determine the latest check-out and the earliest check-in timestamps for each group.

The TIMEDIFF() function calculates the difference between these two times, giving us the total hours worked for that day.

Important Considerations

The query does not validate if there are unpaired check-ins and check-outs. You might want to ensure every _in has a corresponding _out for accuracy.

This query assumes correct inputs with a suitable date format and type.

Conclusion

Calculating the total hours worked can help in managing time tracking and payroll for employees effectively. The MySQL solution provided here allows you to retrieve this information by grouping and analyzing user data effortlessly.
