Hi,
With your times in columnA range A1 - A150
Build your self a table that looks like this and covers your time period:-

Col C Col D
08:00 08:15
08:15 08:30
08:30 08:45
08:45 09:00
09:00 09:15
09:15 09:30
09:30 09:45
09:45 10:00
10:00 10:15
10:15 10:30
10:30 10:45
10:45 11:00
11:00 11:15
11:15 11:30
11:30 11:45
11:45 12:00
12:00 12:15
12:15 12:30
12:30 12:45
12:45 13:00
13:00 13:15
13:15 13:30
13:30 13:45
13:45 14:00
14:00 14:15

In my case this is in columns C & D
In E1 type
=(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$150,"="&C1))-(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$150,"="&D1))
Drag down to the same length as the times in columns C&D
