If/Then Between Times

Good Morning All,

I think I'm overcomplicating here but I'm struggling to create a calculated column to identify "Work Shift" by looking at the hours of the day.

 

I have my times split into a single column.

I need one column that looks at the times and displays what shift that falls under.

 

0600AM to 0200PM = "Days"

0201PM to 1000PM = "Afternoons"

1001PM to 0559AM = "Midnights"

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Nick

Hi @NekoGTz ,

 

The basic syntax for your new column will be like this:

if [ReceivedTime.2] >= #time(06, 00, 00) and [ReceivedTime.2] < #time(14, 00, 00) then "Days"
else ...etc

Pete - Can't thank you enough! I've been scratching my head for days with incorrect time format.

 

Final statement is: (and works perfectly)

 

if [ReceivedTime.2] >= #time(06, 00, 00) and [ReceivedTime.2] < #time(14, 00, 00) then "Days" else if [ReceivedTime.2] >= #time(14, 01, 00) and [ReceivedTime.2] < #time(22, 00, 00) then "Afternoons" else "Midnights"

Hi @NekoGTz ,

 

Glad this got you sorted.

You just need to adjust your second line to the following, otherwise you'll miss any times between 14:00:00 and 14:00:59 :

[ReceivedTime.2] >= #time(14, 00, 00)  // changed to 14:00:00
