    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 did not work for me as I continue to get an error that states operations do not support comparing values of type Text with values of type Date.  It says to consider using the Value or Format function to convert.  But then when I convert the Time column as you have suggested, it also gives me an error that says "Cannot covert value " of type Text to type Date".  Please help, I've done exactly what you've suggested and I cannot get it to work.
