Hi, How to make + symbol variable in the below formula?
This formula is in G25 and symbol is in F25 has + & - symbols

=(NOW()-E$592)+E614
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
If you are looking to add or subtract based on what is in F25:

=NOW()+(E$592*(IF(F25="+",1,-1)))+E614

Hi kashyap

Another option: Instead of +/- in F25 write 1/-1, and use

=(NOW()-E$592)+F25*E614

Ok, but what times? What are the values? How does F25 contain a time, I thought it contained a + or -?

Assuming the 2:00 is in E614, with my formula I get right now (at time of 9:24 AM):
