I have an SP List that has hours logged against it and they reference an identifier. This identifier in another SP list needs to have the total number of hours from all Items in the first SP list.

So if all 3 items above all had the same WTRFNumber "WTRF46", then the number of hours I would like added to the other SP list is 15. So on the other list I would have WTRF46 and 15.

Any idea how to complete this? And I would need it to only update items that have a WTRF number, those that do not Ignore.

Here's my best guess, main thing is using the Filter Query parameter from the Get Items in Sharepoint List connector. Some compose functions should help with the common pitfalls of types not quite matching up.

Loosely you want to:
0. initialize a variable <total_hours> with the type Number
1. loop over all of the unique WTRFNumbers in your 'totals' sharepoint list (you may need to use the compose function to get the WTRFNumber as a string, instead of as a whole item)
2. use that to filter the sharepoint list of items and only get the ones that match the WTRFNumber you want (in filter query type something like [WTRFNumber eq <WTRF from totals list>])
3. then you could loop over these filtered items, and add the 'hours' value to your <total_hours> variable (you may need to use a compose function to get the hours number.)
4. copy out the value of the totals variable to your Totals sharepoint list, then set it to 0 before you go into the next loop
