You cannot use only part of a field nor make up your own switches, so with a bit of lateral thinking the following construction should work

{ SET A { MERGEFIELD r1_srl \@"AM/PM" } }{ SET B { MERGEFIELD r1_rsu \@"AM/PM" } }{ MERGEFIELD r1_srl \@"h:mm" }{ IF A = "AM" "A" "P" } - { MERGEFIELD r1_rsu \@"h:mm" }{ IF B = "AM" "A" "P" }


You might find it simpler to use http://www.gmayor.com/export_field.htm to convert the text string above to working fields.

Thank you both for your support. It is very much appreciated when people unselfishly contribute their knowledge to help others.

GMayor ... your solution provided exactly what I was looking for.

Further to this request, based on this helpful solution, I am encountering an issue I hope can be easily overcome.

In my database, if a service is not required, the two times normally displayed are represented simply by hyphens.

In this example posted, there are no services scheduled for sections 2 - 4.

How can I eliminate that format and just leave those fields blank?

The textual representation of the mergfield of the highlighted field is:

{ SET A { MERGEFIELD r2_srl \@"AM/PM" } }{ SET B { MERGEFIELD r2_sru \@"AM/PM" } }{ MERGEFIELD r2_srl \@"h:mm" }{ IF A = "AM" "A" "P" } - { MERGEFIELD r2_sru \@"h:mm" }{ IF B = "AM" "A" "P" }
