    Hi jhaldane,

     

    Month = Test_3[Dates].[MonthNo]

Day = Test_3[Dates].[Day] 

Time = FORMAT(Test_3[Dates] ,"hh:mm:ss")

Shift =
IF (
    Test_3[Time] >= TIME ( 6, 0, 0 )
        && Test_3[Time] < TIME ( 14, 0, 0 ),
    "Shift1",
    IF (
        Test_3[Time] >= TIME ( 14, 0, 0 )
            && Test_3[Time] < TIME ( 22, 0, 0 ),
        "Shift2",
        "Shift3"
    )
)

     

    Best regards,

Hi, this does not work for me.  I have been trying this for about 30 minutes, and it continues to give me an error "cannot convert value " of type Text to type Date" when I try to convert the text to "time" as displayed in your example.  Can you help? I've done EXACTLY what you've suggested here.  Thanks.
