how do I group three time ranges into shifts in Excel?
Hello all, anyone know how to group three different time ranges into morning/ evening/ night (or 1/2/3) shifts Excel 2016? thanks!
The problem was two-fold at least.
- The column in which you were displaying "Visit Time" actually contained DATE and TIME (I've changed the format only in the attached to make that visible; I did not change the values you had in those cells).
- So that meant we had to extract from that (Date & Time) field the Time only, which I've done in a new column.
- And I then formatted both that column and the table's column to read with the standard Time format. I also put in midnight as part of the night shift, for the VLOOKUP fallback when the time of the visit is in the wee-small-hours of the morning.
So I think this now works.......
I think mine were in Excel time format... but either way, Yes, it matters.
Can you post your actual sheet, just so long as it doesn't have real people data on it......There may be something else going on with the VLOOKUP.
Thanks again, I uploaded a small part. I tried changing your Time column from Custom to Time - still didnt work. I guess the Vlookup doesn't recognize my time, and I didnt succeed in changing it to a mere number.
