What is the value in B11? And what exactly are you trying to do?
XL stores dates as integer offsets from a base date, and times as fractional days. At midnight, TODAY() and NOW() are equal - they're the integer that represents the number of days since the system base date. For instance, on 10 April 2005, TODAY() returns 38452. At 00:00 on 10 April 2005, NOW() also returned 38452 (using the 1900 date system). At 3:00 am, NOW returns 38452 plus the fraction of the day that has passed, e.g, 38452.125. At noon, NOW() returns 38452.5. So if B11 contains a value 0, then at midnight of any day, NOW()=TODAY()+$B11 will return FALSE, and the IF() statement will return 'M-F'!L9. That conditional will continue to return FALSE until the fraction of the day represented by $B11 has passed. If $B11 is = 1, then the conditional will never be TRUE.

I am trying to have a cell return a "" value when the clock reached a certain time. I have the formula working but it does not work past midnight. $B$8 formula is: NOW() =IF($B$8=TODAY()+$B11,"",'M-F'!L9) This works only up to 23:59 and then returns the value in 'M-F'!L9. I want to return the "" value. |
