Running subtotal?

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 18370
interpreted = N
texte = Here's one that's way beyond my mortal abilities. I am trying to insert a running subtotal into a [foundItems] context that breaks at each date change and totals the hours for each date. The search at the bottom is hard-coded to return results for 6/12 just as a test. Anyway, since this output will encompass two weeks, perhaps three, of data, I cannot come up with a way to handle a running subtotal short of doing 14 separate [search] and [founditems] contexts, one for each date, and then 14 more for the running subtotals. Any insights would be much appreciated. (Note that I've adopted Ken's date storage and retrieval method here, which I highly recommend.)
