I need to have a formula to return text from text.

I will give example;

If column A = 7am then I want column B to say Days

If column A = 3pm then I want column B to say Afternoon

If column A = 11pm then I want column B to say Midnights

I have tried various formulas and cannot get it to work.

Thanks in advance!

stever, Good afternoon.

If that data 7am, 3pm or 11pm are real time and not typed texts, a simple formula with IF function solves your need.

Do you have periods of hours that these messages should appear?

Hope hear form you soon.

Hi Stever,

You are looking for a so called nested IF formula:
=IF(A2="7am","Days",IF(A2="3pm","Afternoon",IF(A2="11pm","Midnights","")))

Best regards,
Trowa
