Hello,
I have a table that has a column named SubEventTime and some other irrelevent columns to my question. I need to add a column that will show what shif the event occoured on based on the SubEventTime. I have tried using IF and SWITCH statements, but still cannot get anything to work.
Time Ranges
6:00 am - 2:30 pm Return 1st shift
2:30 pm - 12:30 am return 2nd Shift
12:30 am - 6:00 am return 3rd shift
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi @PWSNEALE ,
Please try this way:
SHIFT =
VAR CurrentTime = 'Table'[time]
VAR StartTime_1st = TIME(6, 0, 0)
VAR EndTime_1st = TIME(14, 30, 0)
VAR StartTime_2nd = EndTime_1st
VAR EndTime_2nd = TIME(24, 30, 0)
RETURN
IF(
AND(CurrentTime >= StartTime_1st, CurrentTime < EndTime_1st),
"1st shift",
IF(
OR(
AND(CurrentTime >= StartTime_2nd, CurrentTime < EndTime_2nd),
AND(CurrentTime >= TIME(0, 0, 0), CurrentTime < StartTime_1st)
),
"2nd shift",
"3rd shift"
)
)

Thank you! this worked well.
Have you considered using:
Shift =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
IF(AND(TIMEVALUE("06:00:00")>TIMEVALUE(Table[Time]) , TIMEVALUE("14:30:00")<Table[Time])),"1st Shift",
IF(AND(TIMEVALUE("14:30:00")>TIMEVALUE(Table[Time]) , TIMEVALUE("00:30:00")<Table[Time])),"2nd Shift",
IF(AND(TIMEVALUE("00:30:00")>TIMEVALUE(Table[Time]) , TIMEVALUE("06:00:00")<Table[Time])),"3rd Shift",
0
)
Do note, you may need to adjust for >= and <= depending on your parameters.
Hope this helps!

Can you post some real data, or at least a screen shot? Also please show your attempts with the DAX IF statement. This should not be too hard:
IF ( [SubEventTime] = "6:00 am - 2:30 pm", "1st shift",
IF ( ...
IF ( ....)
)
)
