I am looking for a formula that will count the number of times a specific
task (in column J) occurs within a given time range (in column E).

Example, how many times does "A" occur between 0800 hrs. and 0900 hrs.

I also need a second formula that sorts the above for each employee.

The times are currently being inputed as a number 0800, 0812, etc and not
actually military times.

Thanks for any assistance I may get.
