Excel Novice need help with colour blocking between start and end time (hourly values)

Copper Contributor

Hi Everyone... 

 

Thank you in advance... 

I am useless at Excel, very basic understanding and am trying to create a tool to help me understand individual coverage in a day. 

 

I am trying to create a simple 0500-2200 timeframe spreadsheet where I input a start time and end time, the sheet will automatically colour in a block between that start time and end time. 

 

Can anyone shed any light.

=(A5>=$B$2)*(A5<=$C$2)

You can try this rule for conditional formatting. The start time and end time are entered in cells B2 and C2 in this example.
