Help with IF Function for times.

[Ryanoo]

Hello

I hope you are all well and this is in the correct section

I have a problem with an IF command

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details

-EXCEL 201

-All cells containing times are custom formatted to show hh:m

A1 - IF formula
B1 - Contains a formula that displays an average time for a range o
cells
C1 - Contains [=now] for current time

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically I would like A1 to check if the current time (c1) is late
than B1.
If the argument is true (if C1 is later than B1) it should retur
Available
If it is false (not later) then it should return un-available.

Thanks in advance
Ryan

try:
=IF(MOD(C1,1)>B1,"Available?","Unavailable")

I have a problem with an IF command.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details;

-EXCEL 2010

-All cells containing times are custom formatted to show hh:mm

A1 - IF formula.
B1 - Contains a formula that displays an average time for a range o
cells.
C1 - Contains [=now] for current time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance,
Ryan.

=IF(C1>B1,"Available","Unavailable")

But you don't really need the value in C1. You cold just have

=IF(NOW()>B1,"Available","Unavailable"

NOW() is date + time and it is always greater than a time.
Just in this moment NOW is 41326,6111829861
and CTRL+SHIFT+Point = 0,6111829861

Hi Claus, thanks very much for your reply

Your formula works if I remove =now() and manually enter the time

I misrepresented what I put earlier, I have a D1 cell that contain
-'=now()'- and a C1 that contains -'=D1'-, which is probably pointless

Is there a correct way of referencing =now() without it impairing th
formula

In regards to =now being '41326,6111829861' what do you mean

Many Thanks
Rya

Edit: Just read about serial number values etc. so I understand tha
value
