Difference of time with sum

Hello,

I have employee table in which there is arrival and departure time which employees comes in and goes out is recorder multiples times. I want to sum up the first time they entered and last time they went out the difference of total hours from first to last. I used 

Min(aarival time)- Max(departure time). I am getting result correct as diference but it is not showing sum in table as correct. I am attaching the some data along with outcome that I want to have. is there a way to get correct sum of min and max time for each day. I want to show for each day irs time to last time departure differece representing total time spent. Kindly help in thi regard.

EmployeeDateArrival timeDeparture time

A27/01/20226:38:00 PM7:12:00 PM
A27/01/20228:00:00 AM9:15:00 PM

The outcome I need is based on days with sum in total for all days selection.

EmployeeDateTime for each day
A25/01/202211:44:00
A26/01/202205:12:00

I have better luck working with formatted time when I start with the time in seconds.  This first measure will calculate that for each employee / day MIN(Arribval) to MAX(Departure):

Time in seconds = 
VAR _EmployeesWithTimes =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Employee], 'Table'[Date] ),
        "@Start", CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Arrival time] ) ),
        "@End", CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Departure time] ) )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( _EmployeesWithTimes, DATEDIFF ( [@Start], [@End], SECOND ) )

Then I use that in a measure that formats the results.

Time for each day = 
VAR _Seconds = [Time in seconds]
VAR _Minutes = INT ( DIVIDE ( _Seconds, 60 ) )
VAR _RemainingSeconds = MOD ( _Seconds, 60 )
VAR _Hours = INT ( DIVIDE ( _Minutes, 60 ) )
VAR _RemainingMinutes = MOD ( _Minutes, 60 )

RETURN
    IF (
        NOT ISBLANK ( _Seconds ),
            FORMAT ( _Hours, "00" ) & ":" & 
            FORMAT ( _RemainingMinutes, "00" ) & ":" & 
            FORMAT ( _RemainingSeconds, "00" )
    )

I added a second user just for testing and the measure should work however you display it:

I have attached my sample file for you to look at.
