Hi and welcome to the Forum 

You seem to be referring to Don's tutorial Excel Date Filter Magic - Last Month, This Month, YTD & More + Awesome Interface.

I'm not clear however what you mean by wanting to "end the day at 1700 hours" but assume this relates to a working day. In the attached file, I've used the file (and data with old dates) from the tutorial and assumed column H of the Raw sheet contains Date and Time values (and have added a random time element to each), setting them to display same).

On the Dashboard sheet, I've added extra (hidden) criteria so "Date" in cell L10 appears as that choice in the Select Period box. Pick that option and conditional formatting reveals a date in F3, currently 01/12/2020 (US style, like Don's tutorial) but formatted so it's clear that it's 12th January 2020 to international users. 

Now the Time portion of column H is represented by the decimal portion of the Date  number and 17:00:00 equates to a decimal 0.708333333'.

Therefore the Start value in M10 is set as 5pm the previous day to taht in cell F3, so:

=F3-1+0.708333333

which equates to Jan-11-2020 17:00 for 01/12/2020. Likewise the End date is:

=F3+0.708333333

so Jan-12-2020 17:00. Change the date (say to a day after) and your get times from its previous day after 5pm and the chosen date (up to 5pm).

Revision 26 Feb 2023:

If you have Excel 365 or Excel 2021, you could use the second file below. It adds List data validation to the date cell F3 (which appears when the Period is set to Date via the dropdown) so all the datas in column H of Raw can be selected via its dropdown. The validation formula is:

=Raw!$L$2#

which points to hidden cell L2 containing the array formula:

=UNIQUE(ROUND(TableRaw[Date and Time],0))

which rounds the date/time values to an integer (date) but removes the duplicates via the Excel 356/ 2021 function UNIQUE.

Hope this helps- if so please remember to mark this Answer as Selected (in accordance with the Rules of the Forum).

Hello John Thank You for the response
Yes I made the interface precise to Don's youtube , which is very informative
I see next to the drop down (I m thinking f3 ) does that coincide with the table to the right ?

Yes, F3 is next to the drop down in my file and will be yellow when Date is sekected in the dropdown. (You can restore the formula bar and column headings via the View ribbon to check cell references). Did you change the Period to Last Month say (no data) then look at the Raw data and pick a date to enter when the Period is changed back to Date?

I just added a revision (and second file) which makes it easier to use but only if you have Excel 356 or2021 (your profile currently does NOT say which version you use).

Don't forget the Select the Answer if it helps to solve your problem- thanks!
