Where's the rest of the tip? I've been looking for this one tip for days and now that I finally find it, it's incomplete. Can the rest be posted up? Or what do I need to do to see the rest?

Thanks

Don't know what the tip actually says but this is a fairly basic IF formula

=IF(A2>=2/3,"Night",IF(A2>=0.5,"Afternoon","Morning"))&" Shift"

..or with LOOKUP

=LOOKUP(HOUR(A2),{0,12,16},{"Morning","Afternoon","Night"})&" Shift"
