Increase date field by 1 day based on current time?
 

I have a Submission Date cell that is manually entered by users & must always
display what they entered.

I would like to do the following but don't know how:

1) In a new cell (as soon as they have entered the sub date), I would like
to check the time & if it's at or over 5:00pm Eastern time (EST or EDT as
appropriate), I want it to store a date that is 1 day over the manually
entered submission date. If it is not over 5pm, I would like it to contain
the manually submitted date. I can then use that field to more accurately
reflect the turnaround time.

2) If a new date is being stored in the field above, I also want to add a
"rec'd after 5pm" msg to another cell at the end of the record.

Thanks for your help!

Just thought of something else you need to know ...

the spreadsheet is stored in a Sharepoint server in another country so I
need the time comparison to be based on our time here (Eastern) not the time
on the server.
