Time Reference
 
Can anyone help!

I'm trying to enter a formula within a worksheet which references time. It
should be quite simple but it doesn't work. eg
=if(now()q13,"do this",if(now()q14,"do that",""))

Both q13 and q14 are formated to the time format and contain the times 08:30
and 09:30 respectivly.

I've been advised to use the MOD function, but this only provides the
remainder, and produces an error within the formula.

Lee,

NOW() is date and time, so you need to strip the date

=IF(MOD(NOW(),1)Q13,"do this",IF(MOD(NOW(),1)Q14,"do that",""))
