Count numbers based on arrival times

mog75 · May 8th, 2002, 09:22 PM

I am relatively new to Excel, but I'm learing. I want to track number of entries based on arrival time-- number arriving between 7 am and 11 am, 11 and 3 pm, and after 3, and total on a monthly basis. It should be easy but I can't get anything I've tried to work.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

How is your data laid out in the spreadsheet? How many rows and columns etc.

Hi mog75:

let us say your arrival_time is in cells A2:a7, and your number of entries is in cells b2:b7, then use the following formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B7)*(A2:A7>=D1)*(A2:A7<=D2))

Hope This Helps!

Thanks for your quick replies!

I am using 60 rows down to enter times in and out. Column B is time in, column C time out. Excel totals time in column D, that was the easy part. I set up column E as In between 7-11 (am), column F in between 11-3, and column G in after 3 pm. I thought that if I could return a value (1) in column E, F, or G based on entry time it would be easy to calculate total time and daily and monthly totals for each column. I wanted to make data entry as easy as possible, as it will be multiple other users with very limited excel experience entering data.

Thanks for all your help!
