<div>
=IF(NOW()-TODAY()&lt;TIME(8,5<wbr />,0),-1,0)
</div>


<div>
Thanks for the speedy response Andrew.<br />
If I place that formula in a cell it just shows lots of hash marks, no matter how large I make the cell or whatever format I change it to.<br />
Is there a way to use the IF statement in the target cell?<br />
Such as<br />
IF cell A1 is less than time 08:05 then show yesterday's date and time, else show today's date and time<br />
<br />
Thanks again

Hi,<br />
Cell A1 shows the date and time using Now().<br />
I wish a different cell to show that date minus 1 if the time is less than 08:05.<br />
I have tried many permutations of datevalue and timevalue but i'm slowly losing the will to live.<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated.
