Hi,
I have a timetable with timestamps and labels of different activities. The stacked plot looks like this.
I would like to calculate the durations of each cycle of the activity. For example, the top plot has 11 "Dump" sequences, so the outcome should be,
Dump = [t1, t2, ........t11], t = duration of each dump instance.
Is there any smarter way to accomplish this without using FOR loop and tracking changes in each row?
I am also attaching the .mat file of the timetable.
Thank you!

If possible, could you upload your timetable data so that people here can try their idea?

Thank you for providing your data.
I believe the following is an possible solution. I hope this will be somehow helpful for you!
load('data.mat');
% Find start/end time for each 'Dump' period
idx = data.Truck1 == 'Dump';
locStart = find(diff(idx) == 1)+1;
locEnd = find(diff(idx) == -1);
timeStart = data.Time(locStart);
timeEnd = data.Time(locEnd);
% Calculate duration for each 'Dump' period
timeDuration = timeEnd - timeStart;
% Arrange to table
tblTruck1 = table(timeStart,timeEnd,timeDuration);
>> tblTruck1
tblTruck1 =
11×3 table
timeStart timeEnd timeDuration
