time compare formula

[kksj]

I need to create a formula that compares the actual time in one cell (=now()) from a set time in another cell, producing some text like no when the actual time is less (earlier) than the set time and some text like yes when the actual time is more (later) than the set time.
Is this possible and how?
Who can help me out?

Try:

=If(a1<b1,"Before",If(a1>b1,"After","Same"))

Where a1 = user set date and b1 = now()

(there is a less than sign between first a1 and b1, and a greater than sign between the second a1 and b1(does't seem to work on my machine)

First convert all your Data into hh:mm format

Then Use

=If(A1>B1,"Yes",If(A1<B1,"No"),"Same Time")

If current time is more than set time then "Yes". If current time is less than set time then "No" else "Same Time"

Where A1 houses Current Time & B1 houses Set time.
