    Angry determine meal and break times by arrival times

    Hello everyone - I am attempting to build a worksheet in EXCEL of arrival times of individuals. And based on their daily arrival times determines if they get a Breakfast, and/or Lunch, and/or PM Snack. I know that their arrival times will have to be formatted as "time". But I cannot yet figure out what equation to enter to determine if that specific meal component is counted or not.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Re: time calculations

    From what you have written above, we have no idea what times would correspond to those meals - if someone arrived at 9:30am, would that qualify for breakfast?

    Please give further details, and it would help if you attach a sample Excel workbook which shows what data you have and what you would want to do with it. See the yellow banner at the top of the screen for details of how to do this.

    Re: time calculations

    Ignore - until thread title changed
    composed as moderator replied

    would you load up a sample spreadsheet, as yellow banner, then we can see the layout
    you would have some threshold times to decide on that

    so latest time for breakfast
    so latest time for lunch
    so latest time for PM Snack

    I'm assuming if arrived for breakfast , then all 3 apply
    I'm assuming if arrived for lunch , then only 2 apply
    I'm assuming if arrived for PM , then only 1 apply

    Re: time calculations

    thanks for the quick working on this to help me out - appreciate it!
    Below is the graph I am working with it shows the different classrooms dates and times of each meal in order to be counted. I hope I posted it correctly.

    Re: time calculations

    I presume you want a formula for the totals. Put this in cell W4:

    =SUMIFS($B4:$V4,$B$3:$V$3,W$3)

    then copy across and down as required.

    This does not tie in with what I thought you wanted from your first post, but there is nothing in your file about arrival times for each individual.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: time calculations

    Does that take care of your original question? If so, please take a moment to select Thread Tools from the menu above and to the right of your first post in this thread, and mark the thread as SOLVED.

    Also, since you are relatively new to the forum, you might like to know that you can directly thank those who have helped you by clicking on the small "star" icon located in the lower left corner of a post that you have found to be helpful (not just in this thread - for any post that has helped you).

    Re: determine meal and break times by arrival times

    did they do the JOB

    SumIF - looks at a criteria and matches that value

    so
    =SUMIF(criteria Range,criteria, range to SUM)

    So in this example
    =SUMIF($B$3:$V$3,W$3,$B4:$V4)

    $B$3:$V$3
    is where you have Break, Lunch etc
    W$3
    has the word "Break"

    so now the SUMIF
    will look along the row for break

    This is the range is sums up
    $B4:$V4
    SO where there is the word break, the formula looks down to see if there is a value and adds them all up

    hope that helps
