Challenge #203: Everyone loves a toll booth

I was really wondering how you came up with the total time on the road before I started reading the thread... same issue as others... prices match but not total time on the road.

Couldn't match the times too! Here's my attempt nevertheless!

 Same as the others, my time values are different. I also realized that I made the solution more complicated than it needed to be.

Hey @AYXAcademy ,

 

thanks for the nice challenge.

 

You will find my solution attached below, the workflow is straight forward, using a (two) multi-row-formula to detect the previous booth and it's time. Then join the tolls and sum up for the solution.

Here is my solution. In some cases minutes do not match to the "Output", but this is due to the difference in rounding techniques. I believe mine is more correct.

Solution as with others time is out by a minute. @patrick_digan 's solution seems to have the minutes the same, so perhaps one too look at if you are interested in understanding how Alteryx got their numbers 😄
