Use of the Mod function makes this a one-tool solution!

A couple of points from this exercise. I'm not sure why the DateTimeFormat function was used in the solution; both TimeDate columns provided are in formats recognized by Alteryx. I now understand the MOD function that was used in the solution (mod = "remainder"), but this doesn't seem like the most intuitive way of approaching this problem. I instead used the FLOOR function (similar to ROUNDDOWN in excel). I provided two solutions in the attached workflow; one similar to the provided solution and one using the Floor function instead.

Here's my solution using a single formula tool with a bunch of DateTimeDiff function calls.
