Calculate shift from date/time value

[sharky12345]

I have a range of cells formatted as custom "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" and I'm trying to get the shift type from the time value as follows;

If between 0630 and 1430 then shift is Early
If between 1430 and 2200 then shift is Late
If between 2200 and 0630 then shift is Night

I've tried all sorts of variations using formulas and VBA routines but nothing works as I would expect.

Can anyone start me off please?

I don't mind if this is accomplished using formulas or VBA.

tried to find the post from yesterday -not on this forum
same sort of thing
shift 1 ,2,3
so as you have overlapping time - is it up to 14:29 ??? on the shifts so less than <14:30

=IF(OR(A2-INT(A2)>=TIMEVALUE("10:00 PM"),A2-INT(A2)<TIMEVALUE("6:30 AM")),"Night",IF(A2-INT(A2)<TIMEVALUE("2:30 PM"),"Early","late"))

Note the use of < and < =
so that may change

for example
>=TIMEVALUE("10:00 PM") - which includes 10pm
<TIMEVALUE("6:30 AM")) - which excludes 6:30
for "Night shift



see how that works out

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC , then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share
I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.

You are amazing, that works exactly as I need!

Thank you so much etaf!

you are welcome - actually i created a more complicated formula for this on a different forum , and another member came up with simplified solutions , which i often copy for future use
