I was hoping you would give a bit more detail, rather than just tell
me that there is more detail. I can only work with the example data
you have given, so you may have to adapt what follows to suit your
particular circumstances.

First of all, you need to set up a small table somewhere, made up of
the start times of your ranges and the codes that go with them.
Suppose you put this in X1:Y7 of your sheet, and it looks like this:

0:00 AM 0
5:01 AM 1
9:01 AM 2
11:01 AM 3
1:01 PM 4
3:01 PM 5
5:01 PM 6

Assume also that your starting times are in column A with finish times
in column B, and that the data starts on row 2. You will need a
formula like the following:

=VLOOKUP(A2,X$1:Y$7,2)&IF(VLOOKUP(B2,X$1:Y$7,2)<V LOOKUP(A2,X$1:Y
$7,2),", "&VLOOKUP(B2,X$1:Y$7,2),"")

(all one formula - be wary of spurious line breaks in the newsgroups).
Copy the formula down for as many rows as you need.

Hope this helps.

Actually, I have codes for every time of the day and night. I just didn't
want send a gigantic message! Is that something that is needed to answer the
question? I tried to figure out an IF formula but just can't get it to work.

Thank you, I look forward to having help!

Presumably, you won't have any times before 5:00 am or after 7:00pm?
This is a nice little problem, but it's a bit late here in the UK so I
haven't got time to delve into it. If you haven't had any solutions by
the morning, I'll look at it then. I think you just need a simple
table of times and codes, and an IF to give you the composite codes.

I need to figure out how to assign a code in a separate cell to a range of
time. Here's part of the codes I need to use (the last column being the code
for any times within that range of time:
5:01 AM 9:00 AM 1
9:01 AM 11:00 AM 2
11:01 AM 1:00 PM 3
1:01 PM 3:00 PM 4
3:01 PM 5:00 PM 5
5:01 PM 7:00 PM 6

BUT, I need to be able to allow for multiple answers in one cell. Here's an
example of what I need it to do:

12:00 AM 8:55 AM 1
8:55 AM 9:05 AM 1, 2
9:05 AM 9:55 AM 2
9:55 AM 10:05 AM 2
10:05 AM 10:25 AM 2
10:25 AM 12:00 PM 2, 3
12:00 PM 12:30 PM 3

This is for a research project that has do be done by Monday, can someone
help? I'm mildly computer literate but would need mostly laymans language.
HELP!
