If you highlight both cells N6 and O6, then click Format Cells Number
tab, and select Custom in the Category box, then underneath Type delete
whatever is in the the box and type in dd-mmm-yy hh:mm AM/PM

What that will do is format a 24 hour time you enter into a 12 hour time
followed by either AM or PM as appropriate.

So for the date-times you gave as examples, they would be entered as follows:
25-5-10 17:00 and 25-5-10 09:00
but they will appear as 25-May-10 05:00 PM and 25-May-10 09:00 AM

There are lots of other ways to format dates and times. While you're on the
Number tab of Format Cells, have a look at both the Date and Time
categories and scroll through the examples in the 2nd box below Type.

Post again if you need more.

Not sure what you mean by AM/PM; is there another way to format other than
how they are written in my example?

Assuming you have the date-times in N6 and O6, and that these cells are
formatted as dd-mmm-yy hh:mm AM/PM, then your formula should work. I just
tried it out and it seemed ok to me.

Post again if your formats are ok.

I'm trying to write a formula to determine if a delivery is on time. In the
example below, I used =IF(O6=N6,"Yes","No") and Excel returned "No", but
this shipment was on time. What am I doing wrong?

Column N Column O
Scheduled Delivery Date / Time Actual Delivery Date / Time
25-May-10 05:00 PM 25-May-10 09:00 AM
