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 contains '=now()' and a C1 that contains '=D1', which is probably pointless.

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

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

Many Thanks,
Ryan

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