What are those values in the attached image? If they are 224.19 milliseconds, then what is the starting time of your measurement on a calender date and time.

If I'm understanding you correctly, maybe try something along these lines:
milliSeconds = 221+3.5*rand(15006,1); % This line produces values similar to yours
days = milliSeconds./1000./60./60./24; % Converts each value into days
totalDays = sum(days); % Adds up all values to get the total days
Once you have your values in milliseconds, just convert to days by dividing and use sum(). Replace my 'milliSeconds' with whatever variable your data set is saved to.

Just put each day's sum in a different index of "totalDays"
milliSeconds = 221+3.5*rand(15006,1); % This line produces values similar to yours
days = milliSeconds/1000/60/60/24; % Converts each value into days
totalDays(1) = sum(days(1:5002)); % Adds up values from the first day.
% I'm assuming each day has about 5000 data
% points but you can change it to whatever.
totalDays(2) = sum(days(5003:10004)); % Adds up values from the second day.
totalDays(3) = sum(days(10004:15006)); % Adds up values from the third day.
