I have a welcome screen with a button to track user login time. Set (Log in time) to current time.
But is there a way to display “Good Morning” or “Good Evening” based on the (Log in time)?

You mean based on the current time, right?
- Use a math column to determine the current hour of the day: `Hour(Now)`
- Then use that in an if-then-else column:
– If Hour \> 18, then Evening
– If Hour \> 12, then Afternoon
– Else Morning
- Then use that in a template column

You need to convert the current time to a number using the formula that I gave you earlier:

Ah that’s a formula! I was using the option \> Now.
Is there anywhere to refer such formulas or are they basically Excel formulas?
