compare time
I would like to compare a calculated time in my work sheet vs. the actual
system time. For example, if the caculated time is than or = to the system time I want excel to tell me to "CALL", if not then "REST"...any help would be appreciated. Thanks, DE |
Put your calculated time in a cell (say A1) In B1 put =NOW()
in C1 enter =IF(A1=B1,"CALL","REST) -- Gary''s Student "Eddie Munster" wrote: I would like to compare a calculated time in my work sheet vs. the actual system time.

One way:
If your calculated value is in A1, then =IF(A1=MOD(NOW(),1),"CALL","REST") In article , "Eddie Munster" <Eddie wrote: I would like to compare a calculated time in my work sheet vs. the actual system time.

Student - did you test this?
Your formula should never result in "CALL", since NOW() returns a date and time, not just a time. If B1 contains =MOD(NOW(), 1), then the formula would work. In article , Gary''s Student wrote: Put your calculated time in a cell (say A1) In B1 put =NOW() in C1 enter =IF(A1=B1,"CALL","REST) |
You are right JE. My calculated time was actually a date with time formatting
