Look Up by currently Time

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by TRR 13

 

Hello, I need your help.

I'm trying to get a lookup based on a current time.

So:

I have an Excel table with a timetable in it.

So departure times for each train station.

For some train stations there are several departure times.

Something like this: 

Station A 12:15

Station A 13:15

Station A 14:15

Station B 15:15

The station names (Station A or Station B) are in column A "Stations". 

The departure times are in column B Departures. 

So separate from each other. 

If it is currently 11:50 I want to see the departure time from Station A at 12:15. 

If it is currently 13:20 I want to see the departure time from Station A 14:15. 

The current time is in Label4.

This is always displayed up to date using a variable called currentTime and a timer. All values, whether in the timetable or in Label4, are decimal values. So 14:30 = 14.50. Thank you in advance for your help!!!

    for demo, put list of next train times into ColRelatedTime.
     
    ClearCollect(ColRelatedTime, SortByColumns(Filter(colTimeTable, TimeValue(DepartureTime) > TimeValue(currentTime)),"DepartureTime", SortOrder.Ascending));
      
    TimeValue is an useful function to compare time values.
