I have some times that I need a separate cell to look at that time and
tell me if it is AM or PM. I tried using the Right(A1,2) but that did
not work even though I see the PM in the input bar. I also tried
if(A112:00,"PM","AM") but that did not work either. Any help would
be appreciated.

=IF(A10.5,"PM","AM")

Works if there is only time in A1, not a date too. You can check by formatting A1 (temporarily) as general; it should be less than
1.

If there is a date part:

=IF(MOD(A1,1)0.5,"PM","AM")

Try this with the time in cell A1:

=IF(A1=0.5,"PM","AM")

To determine if a time is AM or PM, use the following formula:

Here, A1 is the cell containing the time you want to check. The TIME function is used to specify the time 12:00 PM, and the IF function checks if the time in A1 is greater than or equal to 12:00 PM. If it is, the formula returns "PM", otherwise it returns "AM".

Make sure that the cell containing the time is formatted as a time value, otherwise the formula may not work correctly. To format a cell as a time value, select the cell and go to the Home tab, click on the Number Format dropdown, and select "Time" from the list.
