I do appreciate everyones help but I have to try and explain the whole
problem again so its clear and someone might be able to help, I'm having a
hard time getting from my head to the question box,
I am trying to create an actual v. planned
report in excel:
Here is the scenario:
Our drivers have a standing appointment at the stores
We are considered "Early" if we arrive more than 15 mins before the
appointment
We are considered "Late" if we arrive more than 30 mins after the appointment

So our "On Time"delivery window is 15 mins before and 30 mins after the
appointment.

I will enter the EST time and ACTUAL time manually I need a formula to
calculate the varience between the two times as well
I want a column to show if the driver was "Late" , "Early" or "Ontime" I
have attached a screen shot of the manual table.

A B C
D
ActualArrival Time Est Arrival Time Variance
23:26 0:26 0 on time
22:25 0:26 0 on time
0:10 0:26 0 on time
23:26 0:27 0 on time

Cheers!!!

It would be more helpful if you had responded to the original suggestions in
your original thread. It saves people time in trying to help you, and in
repeating suggestions that did not work.

What was the problem with my suggestion that you enter both dates and times,
and use the 1904 date system to display negative times?
