Chaplain Visits Per Shift
Greetings,
I need a formula that extracts from column F, Visits to Patients Per Shift, and represent that result in a pie chart and a bar graph. Column F describes the date and time of each Chaplain visit per patient. Please note that column F is the result in another spreadsheet from a report that I do not have the option to change or separate.
For purposes of this formula, our shifts are defined as follows.
1st Shift: 12:30 AM — 8:30 AM
2nd Shift: 8:30 AM — 4:30 PM
3rd Shift: 4:30 PM — 12:30 AM
Thank you, with blessings, Richard

I'm finding it difficult to picture what you're working with. The most helpful thing you could do to remedy that (for me, but I suspect for others as well) would be to post a sample--with real names removed and replaced (maybe by names of biblical figures?)--of the actual spreadsheet. Not an image of the spreadsheet, the real thing (with names changed/removed), posting it on OneDrive or GoogleDrive, with a link pasted here to grant access.
And blessings for this work; I've volunteered at times in the past in a hospital chaplaincy role--it's important work.
Formula Help with Counting Chaplain Visits Over Three Shifts Per Day
The Date and Time column E is the record of the Progress Note. My question is, ”What is the formula to calculate in Excel version 16.65 to get the number of Chaplain Visits occurrences Per Shift if shifts are defined as 1st Shift: 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM, 2nd Shift: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and 3rd Shift: 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM.” I also want to represent that result in a pie chart. Please note that column F is the result in another spreadsheet from a report that I do not have the option to change or separate.
In other words, how many times did Chaplains file a Progress Note during the 1st Shift: between 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM, the 2nd Shift: between 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and the 3rd Shift: between 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM.?
Thanks for your advisement.
Those are real names, I believe. That's a file that you should take down immediately (per site policy for protecting privacy). Post files only with false names.
