Find Min Time taking 24hrs into account
 

Hi all,

I am using to schedule arrivals/departures.

In cell J3 i am look for a formula to find the earlier time in column F, these times in column F occure both before and after midnight ie. 19:30 is earlier than 01:00 in terms of a arrivals for a night shift. I need a formula to find the earliest time in the list taking this into account, min does not work as it sees 00:30 as earlier than 21:30 for example.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Kiktuo

Create another column, and populate it with the time offset so that 0 is the "base" time e.g. 6pm. So if A is your time, set B1=MOD(A1+.25,1) because .25 is a quarter of a day, and 6pm is a quarter of a day before midnight. Then you can do a min on this column, and then =MOD(An-.25,1) again to find the time where n is the row of the min.
