hi all, i would like to ask how can i amend my issue.

A1 is used to enter a time to color B1:B100 by conditional formatting which is greater than A1
i've manual changed the format both are "hh:mm", while i always get stuck in column B with format "date time" like "8/10/2019 20:15", thus i cant get the answer.

thanks all
 
Here the new formula to take of your full requirement
in B1 for the Conditional Format enter: =IF((B1-INT(B1))>($A$1-INT($A$1)),TRUE,FALSE)
The copy B1 and special past in B1:B17
If A1 = 20:20 it works

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"

thank you so much for your solution, appreciated PCL!
however i made a fault that what if it greater or equal, isnt it =IF((B1-INT(B1))>=($A$1-INT($A$1)),TRUE,FALSE)

Change your conditional formatting formula to

=ROUND($A$1-INT($A$1);11)<=ROUND($B1-INT($B1);11)

Looks like the times with dates aren't exactly the same as times without the dates when you dive deep enough into the decimals.

OK there is some rounding issue with numbers when there "equal" but not entered in the same manner: date versus time
see next formula
=IF(TRUNC((B1-INT(B1)),3)>=TRUNC(($A$1-INT($A$1)),3),TRUE,FALSE)

:rofl: when the time is less than column B 1min(or maybe more), like 20:44, it colored.
:eeek:

Oopsie: Forgot to change the formula to US settings. I'm using the Finnish ( / European ?) version where the delimiter between the parameters is ";". Replace them with commas and it should work:

=ROUND($A$1-INT($A$1),11)<=ROUND($B1-INT($B1),11)


I'm using 11 decimals here. That's a fraction of a second so in most of the cases something like 5 or 6 would be close enough (=roughly one second).
