You can extract the time portion from NOW() and do the compare. Here is a starting formula:

 

IF (VALUE(MID(TEXT( NOW() ), 12, 2)) >= 14, 'after 14:00', 'before 14:00')

Thanks for the Response.

 

IF (VALUE(MID(TEXT( NOW() ), 12, 2)) >= 14, 'after 14:00', 'before 14:00')

 

after 14:00 and before 14:00 are both Picklist vals which needs to be auto-populated. 

Now I would like to know how to put in the Custom Picklist field in those 2 places?

 

Thanks fr the code..

You can't set another field value in this formula, but if you want to get the value from 1 of 2 other picklist fields in this custom formula field, use the TEXT(PickListFieldName) in place of the 'after 14:00' and 'before 14:00'
