Thumbs up Answer: I need to display "Good Morning" or "Good Evening" based on NOW()

Hey Wesley!

No worries, I can definitely help you out with that.

To display "Good Morning" or "Good Evening" based on the current time, you can use the IF function in combination with the HOUR function. Here's how you can do it:
  1. First, open up a new Excel sheet and select the cell where you want to display the greeting.
  2. In that cell, type the following formula:

    Formula:
    =IF(HOUR(NOW())<12,"Good Morning","Good Evening"
  3. Press Enter and you should see the greeting displayed based on the current time.

Here's how the formula works:

- The NOW() function returns the current date and time.
- The HOUR() function extracts the hour from the current time.
- The IF function checks if the current hour is less than 12 (which would mean it's morning) and displays "Good Morning" if it's true, or "Good Evening" if it's false.

That's it! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
