COUNTIFS between hours

Brass Contributor

Good morning

 

I'm trying to count the entries that fall within a certain time range (22:00 to 4:00), and I'm using countifs, but I keep getting 0 instead of 1 even when the entry is within that range. I've tried using 24 and 12 hour formats and always get 0. Why could this be happening?

Actually you count events in periods 22:00-24:00 AND 00:00-04:00, they don't intersect, thus result is always 0.

You need to indicate somehow which time is from next date, i.e. add one date or so.

Thank you so much. I solved it by nesting OR inside an IF and using TIME:
=IF(OR([@[Hour of Created]]>=TIME(22,0,0),[@[Hour of Created]]<TIME(4,0,0)),1,0)
