How to check if time is between two times in Excel?

Author Xiaoyang Last modified

In Excel, checking if a specific time falls between two other times can be time-consuming if done manually. However, you can easily automate this process with a couple of simple formulas, which I'll show you below.

Check if a specific time is between two given times with formulas

For example, I have two columns of times which are start time and end time in column A and column B separately, now I want to check if the time in column C is between the time range in column A and column B as below screenshot shown:

The following formulas may help you to identify if the specific time is between two times, please do as this:

Enter any one of the following formulas into a blank cell beside your data where you want to output the result:

=IF(C2=MEDIAN(A2,B2,C2),"Yes","No")

=IF(AND(C2>=MIN(A2:B2),C2<=MAX(A2:B2)),"YES","NO")

And then drag the fill handle down to the cells which you want to apply this formula, and the time if between the given two times has been identified, if it is between two times, a Yes will be displayed, if it is not between the two times, a No will be displayed. See screenshot:

Note: In the above formulas, C2 is the specific time you want to check, and A2 and B2 are the cells contain the two times that you want to check based on.
