Default How do I analyze data using time periods?

Hi and thanks for your help. I am trying to analyze my results during
different time periods. My data comes in the form of day-date-time. I know
how to convert into seperate columns indicating day of the week, date, and I
use a decimal code for time.

EG, for Tuesday, 5/27 at 12:18pm, I seperate into columns for Tuesday, and
12.18. My challenge is that I then want to break these time frames into time
blocks...for example, 12.18 is lunchtime.

When I try to use VLOOKUP, it is not recognizing the referenced 12.18 column
and instead uses the whole numerical code for that time period. (I used this
24 hour decimal system because it was the only one I found that could be
recognized)

Some more examples, suppose I have 3 action points at 10.15am, 12:30pm and
2:15pm...I want to know how I can set up a column that will code each time
into Morning, Lunch, and Afternoon so I can analyze the results during these
different time periods.

Thank you very much for your help!
Frankie
