Got it all sorted except could not figure out how to get the word "September" in the total row. 

I see how now (after reviewing other's total)

Spoiler
I suppose I could transpose the row to a column, name it, then transpose back, right?

What did I learn?
- Got better at the datetimeformat function (but more to go)
- Padleft function
- Adding a total to the results (including label for that row)

Process:
- Used padleft and then datetimeparse to convert the time to a usable format
- Calculated number of minutes from sunrise to sunset with datetimediff
- Calculate the change in minutes of daylight from prior to current day (using Multi-Row tool)
- Used datetimeformat to reformat to desired output
- Renamed Sep to Date
- Filtered out null row
- Used Marquee Crew's Add Totals tool to calculate total of Day Length Diff
