I am trying to set up an IF formula when the current time falls between 21:00 and 23:59. I have used this formula but it is not working. If the current time is between 21:00 and 23:59, I want to get tomorrow's date but if it is passed midnight, I want to get today's date. Can anyone help?

Code:
=IF(AND(NOW()>="21:00",NOW()<="23:59"),TODAY()+1,TODAY())

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
It's because you're using text rather than time and I think any success would have been coincidental. Here's an alternative:

Code:
=TODAY()+IF(HOUR(NOW())>=21,1,0)

For yours to have worked, you'd have to had used TIMEVALUE("21:00") instead of just "21:00"

Code:
=IF(AND(MOD(NOW(),1)>=TIMEVALUE("21:00"),MOD(NOW(),1)<=TIMEVALUE("23:59")),TODAY()+1,TODAY())

Thanks to you as well. I will try yours too. I like to keep both formulas.
