24 hour time slots from a specific time point
Hi! Is there a formula to make 24 hour time slots from a specific time? For example, 3/3/25 @ 0810. The 1st 24 hour box would be (3/3/25 @ 0810 - 3/4/25 @ 0810), 2nd 24 hour box (3/4/25 @ 0810 - 3/5/25 @ 0810), etc.
Also, once those 24 hour prefilled dates and times are created for 15 days, is it possible to take a shreadsheet with dates and time entries and place them into the correlating 24 hour time slots from a specific time? For example, if an entry was dated and timed 3/3/25 @ 0935, and 3/4/25 @ 0700, both of those would fall into the 1st 24 hour box and so on. Thank you in advance for saving me hundreds of hours doing this by hand!

Sure!
Yes, you can do this:
Make your first time slot from 3/3/25 @ 08:10 to 3/4/25 @ 08:10, then just add 1 day each time to get the next 24-hour slot, repeating for 15 days.
To place entries into the right slot, you can use a simple IF or IFS formula to check if each time falls >= start time and < end time for that slot, so it groups them correctly.
Super doable in Excel — will save you tons of time.

Hi Mooj
Could you upload a spreadsheet with the original data and what you would like it converted to?
Thanks
