Greetings! I've searched around for combining IF commands for a single cell but I may be using the wrong termonology because I am not figuring it out. .

I need to query one cell and display the result on the next tab. I believe my functions are the best for this but I am unable to combine them.

Im working on a separate sheet (Sheet2) with this query

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("20:00 - 00:00",'Sheet1'!B135)),"NIGHT","")
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("08:00 - 20:00",'Sheet1'!B135)),"DAY","")
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("08:00 - 00:00",'Sheet1'!B135)),"24HRS","")

Im asking for a cell to display Day, Night or 24 based on the other sheets cell contents.
The other cell , sheet (B135), will contain and only ONE of the three times.

They all work individually but I cant sandwich them into one cell.. Help?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Depending on the order of which time range you want to check first, then perhaps this:

On the first formula ("NIGHT"), replace the "" at the end with the second formula ("DAY"). On the second formula ("DAY"), replace the "" at the end with the third formula ("24HRS"). Leave the "" at the end of the third formula. Also, the = is only required for the first formula.

Hi,

If B135 can Only have 1 of the 3 possible values, not Blank or anything else, then:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("20:00 - 00:00",Sheet1!B135)),"NIGHT",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("08:00 - 20:00",Sheet1!B135)),"DAY","24HRS"))

If B135 may be Blank or something else, then:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("20:00 - 00:00",Sheet1!B135)),"NIGHT",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("08:00 - 20:00",Sheet1!B135)),"DAY",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("08:00 - 00:00",Sheet1!B135)),"24HRS","")))

Perfect! I was on the right track when I tried that but didn't know to remove the "" at the ends.. GIANT formula but hey, it works! TY!!!

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("08:00 - 20:00",'20182021'!B135)),"DAY",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("20:00 - 00:00",'20182021'!B135)),"NIGHT",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("08:00 - 00:00",'20182021'!B135)),"24")))

You either don't need the last IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH.... or you should add ,"" after "24"

Review the suggestions in my Post #3 again.
