I'm interested in the explicit timeintervals: 17:00-18:00 18:00-22:00 22:00-1:00 not the hours count! Thanks in Advance Bret Bernever Bret, The easiest thing would be to set up a simple VLookUp table like this: 0 4 6 1 8 2 18 3 22 4 The lookup value are the hourly slots. Set the range lookup of the function to TRUE Use HOURS(TimePeriod) as the lookup value for each time entry in your data set. That will associate each Time Period with the appropriate Time Slot. Then you can do what you intend with the info. SteveM |

I think the VLookup function can be part of the solution but can you be more specific on the example and how to set it up. How can the function produce the end result which looks something like this: 17:00-18:00 18:00-22:00 22:00-1:00 I really appriciate your help on this, thanks in advance Bret |

The text tells me its what I think are specific times within each Time Period that you want to associate to the proper Time Slot Your last email above suggests that Time Periods are the outputs. You got me confused. My solution addresses the problem interpreted the first way. Say you have a column of Time Period times. Then use the Hour() and VLookUp functions in an adjacent row with the Time Period time as the reference value and my VLookUp table as the table source. The VLookUp True parameter will search for the nearest Hour() value less than the next increment and then return the Time Slot number. Say a sample data point is 14:36 then Hour(14:36) returns 14, that value delivered to the lookup table returns (Time Slot) 2 because the 14 is greater than or equal to the #2 Slot minimum 8 and strictly less that the maximum 18. You can use the real period values as strings in the return column of the lookup table if you want. You can then use CountIf or something on the Time Slot column just created to generate Slot centric statistics or whatever. SteveM |

Just some thoughts, riding on your orig. post,
illustrated in this sample: http://www.freefilehosting.net/download/3a6id Denoting TimePeriods.xls This assumes that you have as text inputs in A2 down, eg from your orig. post: 17:00-18:00 18:00-22:00 22:00-1:00 where the end times would always fall within the particular timeslot (a key assumption) If so, the start times in the text inputs could be extracted as numbers using LEFT(..)+0, and the numbers then used as lookup values to return the corresponding timeslot indications in a vlookup In B2, copied down: =IF(A2="","",VLOOKUP(LEFT(A2,SEARCH(":",A2)-1)+0,{0,"22:00-6:00";6,"6:00-8:00";8,"8:00-18:00";18,"18:00-22:00";22,"22:00-6:00"},2)) Or, if you want the results as text, eg: Falls in TimeSlot 4 (as hinted in your orig. post) In C2, copied down: =IF(A2="","",VLOOKUP(LEFT(A2,SEARCH(":",A2)-1)+0,{0,"Falls in TimeSlot 4";6,"Falls in TimeSlot 1";8,"Falls in TimeSlot 2";18,"Falls in TimeSlot 3";22,"Falls in TimeSlot 4"},2)) where TimeSlot 1 - 6:00-8:00 TimeSlot 2 - 8:00-18:00 TimeSlot 3 - 18:00-22:00 TimeSlot 4 - 22:00-6:00 -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Bret it's not clear to me which is the input data. Well, now it's getting interesting. You both guys (Steve, Max) point me out in the right direction. But thanks to my awkward explanation i got you confused ;-(( Sorry for that. The solution however is near but not right on the nail! The input data is the starttime and finishtime of the timeperiod (that's just a workshift) for example StTime 17:00 FiTime 01:00 Now, the other data available are the slottimes: TimeSlot 1 - 6:00-8:00 TimeSlot 2 - 8:00-18:00 TimeSlot 3 - 18:00-22:00 TimeSlot 4 - 22:00-6:00 These are just periods when working unsocial hours. Now I need to determine WHAT PART of the time period (the shift) falls in whatever timeslot. The part should be the result. For clearity: The INPUT Max uses in his sample Denoting TimePeriods.xls should be the RESULT (the output) i'm looking for. Conclusion, I get the point of your examples but it doesn't give me the result i'm looking for. But as mentioned earlier that's the result of my bad explanation of the problem :o)) Really appreciate your help and i think we can tackle this pesky problem. -- With kind Regards, Bret Bernever |

You made someone very happy :o)) This will get me going. What I really like about your solution is that you managed to do it without vba and using just one sheet. This one can be marked as solved. Thank you for providing that solution. Also nice pointing to the http://www.freefilehosting.net/ website. Didn't know that site. Comes in very handy. -- With kind Regards, Bret Bernever |
