Adding Hours Based on Time Zone

Hi All,

I am having some trouble adjusting the hours based on Time Zone. For context, I have a dataset where the date / time in column AC is all in EST. I want to adjust this based on Time Zone.

In column AK I used =TIME(HOUR(AC2),0,0) to pull out the hour + AM / PM. However, I want to adjust column AK based on Time Zone (AJ).

So, for example if something came in at 12PM CST (row 5) -- I would need to subtract 1 hour so column AK reflects the correct Time Zone. Instead of 12PM, I need cell AK5 to say 11AM.

Does that make sense? Any advice / help would be much appreciated!

Thank you!!

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
You can add the hour as follows:
+AC2+0.04166

.04166 is 1/24th of a day or a calculation of (1/24)

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately just subtracting the # doesn't work, and the value in column AK stay exactly the same.

Similarly, =+AC2-TIME(1,0,0) doesn't work because the # of hours changes depending on the time zone. Sometimes I need to subtract 1, 2, 3 etc. Also, that result still gives me the date (mm/dd/yyyy). I just want the time value (ex 10AM).

Any idea of how to help there would be awesome. Thank you!

No idea what the time zone differences are, but how about
Excel Formula:
=TIME(HOUR(AC2),0,0)+IF(AJ2="CST",-1/24,IF(AJ2="EST",-2/24,IF(AJ2="MST",-3/24,0)))

You beat me to it Fluff :)
Here's what I came up with:
=+C4+IF(D4="EST",TIME(1,0,0),IF(D4="MST",TIME(2,0,0),IF(D4="CST",TIME(3,0,0),0)))
And also format the cell to be time only rather than date/time.

Thank you both! I am getting much closer...but am still having some issues. What (I think) is happening is that for values in column AC that are early in the morning that time & date needs to adjust to the prior date / night.

For example: Row 139 came in at 12:52AM on 2/3/20. That date & time should change to be 11:52PM on 2/2/20.

Does that make sense? That seems to be the last hurdle here.

Appreciate all of the support!!!

Give this one a try. It seems to work for me. NOTE: You'll need to adjust the hour values for the correct time zone, ie 1 2 3 and notice that I have the formula as '-Time..' to indicate to subtract hours if that's the case.
=C4+IF(D4="EST",-TIME(1,0,0),IF(D4="MST",-TIME(2,0,0),IF(D4="CST",-TIME(3,0,0),0)))
