If condition between two times

I am trying to use an if statement to determine type of wastage created between two tim frames.

 

The idea is that between 14:30 and midnight the wastage is labelled as "End of Day Wastage" and the rest of the time it is labelled as just "Wastage".

 

The date and time column is formatted like this "DDMMYYYY HHMMSS"

 

This is the formula I am using but it doesnt work. It displays everything as "Wastage".

Wastage Type = IF(AND(Time(Hour(Wastage[Transaction Date]),minute(Wastage[Transaction Date]),SECOND(Wastage[Transaction Date])) > Time(16,30,00), Time(Hour(Wastage[Transaction Date]),minute(Wastage[Transaction Date]),SECOND(Wastage[Transaction Date])) <= Time(00,00,00)), "End of Day Wastage", "Wastage")

 

I am guessing it is probably something wrong with my logic but just can't see it.

 

Can anyone help, please?

No worries i solved it.

 

The automatic cutoff time was 59:59:59 so at 00:00:00 the calculation returned back to "Wasted".

 

I removed the AND() and Time(Hour(Wastage[Transaction Date]),minute(Wastage[Transaction Date]),SECOND(Wastage[Transaction Date])) <= Time(00,00,00)) from the formula.

 

Here is the working code:

Wastage Type = IF(Time(Hour(Wastage[Transaction Date]),minute(Wastage[Transaction Date]),SECOND(Wastage[Transaction Date])) > Time(16,30,00), "End of Day Wastage", "Wastage")

Hello! 

 

I also want to have a formula for below condition:

If time is within 06:01 AM to 20:30PM, it will display as "Beyond the shift". Can you help me?
