[Please see attached workbook]

I would like to compare column A to NOW() [cell E2] and if A_ matches NOW(), then write value of cell $H$1 to the cell in column B_ nest to A_

Comparison to a simple time (i.e., $E$1) works but not to $E$2 [NOW()].

Is there a method to compare NOW() to a number [fixed time]?

I realize that NOW() will not auto-refresh; $H$1 is an auto updating addin which takes care of the refresh.

So, I just need to know how to compare NOW() [or similar, e.g., time()] to a fixed time.

Thanks

Hello James,

Just simply wrap it with the TIME function.

In cell E2: =TIME(HOUR(NOW()),MINUTE(NOW()),0)

Br,
Anders
