If statement comparing times

Hi;

I am trying to write a formula that will let me compare times and assign a
shift value (1st or 2nd Shift) based on that..... and I can't get it to work.

Here is my current forumla:

=IF(AND($S2TIME(4,0,0),($S2TIME(15,0,0))),"1st Shift","2nd Shift")

Which is supposed to say that if the time in S2 is greater than 4:00AM and
less than 3:00PM, it is 1st Shift, else it is 2nd Shift.

The value is S2 is formatted as "6:00", and is a copy of another cell that
is formatted "06/25/2009 06:00". The only value that this formula will return
- for all values - is "2nd Shift."

How to fix? Thanks for the help.

Formatting doesn't change the underlying value of a cell. It changes only
how it's displayed. To ignore the date, and consider only the time, that's
in the cell, use:
=IF(AND(MOD($S2,1)TIME(4,0,0),MOD($S2,1)TIME(15, 0,0)),"1st Shift","2nd
Shift")

Regards,
Fred.
