Hi,
I have the following code in MACRO in ColM to enter initials based on the NOW entry in ColA. However it always enters FM no matter what time so it's not working!
In ColM I have entered "Cells(c.Row, "m").Formula = "=IF(RC[-12]<=TIMEVALUE(""3:50:00 PM""),""RB"",""FM"")"
In ColA I have:"Cells(c.Row, "A").Value = Format(Date, "m/d/yy") & " " & Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss")
Can you please help correct the code so that an entry after 3:50PM shows "FM" and anything earlier (of same date) shows "RB"?

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
Try
VBA Code:
Cells(c.Row, "m").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(MOD(RC[-12],1)<=TIMEVALUE(""3:50:00 PM""),""RB"",""FM"")"

Actually try
VBA Code:
Cells(c.Row, "m").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-12]<=INT(TODAY())+TIMEVALUE(""3:50:00 PM""),""RB"",""FM"")"

As my previous post didn't take account of today's date

and if you want it strictly only to apply to today's date try

VBA Code:
Cells(c.Row, "m").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(INT(RC[-12])=TODAY(),IF(RC[-12]<=INT(TODAY())+TIMEVALUE(""3:50:00 PM""),""RB"",""FM""),"""")"

You're welcome

You should be able to just use
VBA Code:
Cells(c.Row, "m").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(INT(RC[-12])=TODAY(),IF(RC[-12]<=TODAY()+TIMEVALUE(""3:50:00 PM""),""RB"",""FM""),"""")"

Mark, you outdid yourself. I entered and tested this new solution and it works exactly as needed. I'm most grateful thank you very much

You're welcome (although if using the formula on multiple lines I would recommend putting =TODAY() in a separate cell and referencing it in the formula rather than having it within the formula)

Sorry Mark your last statement is a little over my head but regardless, your previous replies were immensely helpful and I can't thank you enough for all your time and effort and immediate response.

It just means put
Excel Formula:
=TODAY()
in a separate cell (in the code below Z3) and reference the cell in the formula, it'll be more efficient than having it calculate twice in every formula

Rich (BB code):
Cells(c.Row, "m").FormulaR1C1 = _
        "=IF(INT(RC[-12])=R3C26,IF(RC[-12]<=R3C26+TIMEVALUE(""3:50:00 PM""),""RB"",""FM""),"""")"

If I can only ask if you would please be able to include in the above Code another possibility to enter in ColM RB (besides the one above) that if entry in ColA equals the one directly above or below it would ALSO enter RB in ColA.
So for example if the Time entered in Row 10 ColA either equals Row 9 or Row11 it would show RB in ColM (even if it's past 3:50 PM)
