How do I write an if statement to check if its past 5:30 PM. I tried
if(hour17.5) but that only checks the hr itself and not minutes.
Thanks,
Yosef

Hi,

Try this

=IF(NOW()TIME(17,30,0),TRUE,FALSE)

This checks against your current defined system time. It will not keep
checking by itself. To update you can press the F9 key.

Hope this helps,

Matt

=IF(HOUR(NOW())=17,IF(MINUTE(NOW())=30,"The lock desk closed at 5:30 PM,
please lock tomorrow !!",""),"")

OK - mine didnt work. but Im having an issue with yours as well
I typed in =IF(NOW()TIME(17,29,0),TRUE,FALSE) but its saying true and its
only 4:26 PM ??
Am I missing something ?
Thanks

The reason Matt's formula fails is because NOW() at the moment is 38545
point something or other which of course is bigger than any time which will
be less than one. To make your formula work try using MOD(NOW(),1)*24 in
place of HOUR

Hi,

You could also use this if the time you wish to check against is in cell A1

=IF(A1TIME(17,30,0),TRUE,FALSE)

=IF(((NOW()-INT(NOW()))0.729167),"After 5:30","Not 5:30 yet")

Apologies for earlier posting being wrong, meant it to be:

=IF(TIME(HOUR(NOW()),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW())) TIME(17,30,0),TRUE,FALSE)

Cheers,
