    It sounds like you are going with Phil_Seamark's formula so just use a SWITCH to do all your nested IFs like this...

     

    Day and Time =
FORMAT ( 'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Date], "dddd " )
    & SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] >= TIMEVALUE ( "00:00:00" )
            && 'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] <= TIMEVALUE ( "06:00:00" ), "Night",
        'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] > TIMEVALUE ( "06:00:00" )
            && 'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] <= TIMEVALUE ( "09:00:00" ), "Early Morning",
        'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] > TIMEVALUE ( "09:00:00" )
            && 'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] <= TIMEVALUE ( "12:00:00" ), "Morning",
        'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] > TIMEVALUE ( "12:00:00" )
            && 'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] <= TIMEVALUE ( "18:00:00" ), "Afternoon",
        'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] > TIMEVALUE ( "18:00:00" )
            && 'itemdetailsdogfood$'[Time] <= TIMEVALUE ( "21:00:00" ), "Evening",
        "Late Evening"
    )

    Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

I like the way the SWITCH statement has been used here to allow ranges.  No excuses for nested IF statement ever again!
