Default If Functions Time

Thank you Dave. They'll always be on the same day within 5 or 6 hours. Thanks
again.

If the times were always within the same day, you could use a formula like:
=IF(A1=B1,"On time",IF(A1B1,"Late","Early")&" by "&TEXT(ABS(A1-B1),"h:mm"))

But when one is on one day and the other is on a different day, that formula
won't work.

I think the safest thing to do is to enter both the date and time for both
cells. Then you won't have any problems.

But if you don't want to do that, is there a maximum number of hours that can be
late or early.

If I put
12:15 AM in A1
and
10:15 PM in B1

How do I know if I'm 2 hours late or 22 hours early?

Or even if the times are 3 days different????

Sorry if I wasn't clear...I need a formula for this. Thanks.

A1 = Time 1, B1 = Time 2, C1 = Time Difference
If A1=B1 then C1= "On Time"
If A1B1 then C1 = "Late By h:mm"
If A1<B1 then C1 = "Early By h:mm"
Also A1 may be a PM time and B1 may be an AM time

Examples:
A1=10:00 PM, B1=10:00 PM, C1=On Time
A1=9:30 PM, B1=10:00 PM, C1=Early By 00:30
A1=12:15 AM, B1=10:00 PM, C1=Late By 2:15

This is killing me. Thank you in advance.
