Add Time Delay Between Macro Steps
Jan 15, 2009
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.3"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.4"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.5"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.6"
etc . . .
Basically, I just recorded a macro to change the cell value. This code continues to 4.8 . . .Is there a more efficient way to code this??
Also, I'd like to add a time delay (say +-5seconds) between each step. So basically it would say:
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]

I am trying to see if it is possible to create an intentional delay when executing a macro. Basically I would like to pause the macro for 5 seconds and then continue with the rest of the code.
Is such a thing possible with Excel?

I need a code which will take a lump of data, B2:AW366 and cycle through the data in a single cell (A1)
So to clarify Cell A1 should cycle through:
B2
C2
D2
E2
...
...
...
AU2
AV2
AW2
B3
C3
D3
E3
.....
.....
Continue until cell AW366 reached.

I have written a macro, big cheers as it's my first, and it even works as I wanted it to.
Trouble is when you run it, it shows you all the steps it is making. Is there any way to stop this and purely for the end result to appear? It may well also have something to do with my PC needing more RAM to make it faster. Ever since upgrading (?) to 2007, my PC feels like it is stuck in quicksand.

I have an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to format. Each time the spreadsheet is of the same format but with differing amount of numbers. I.e. sometimes it will be a set of 3, the next time might be 6.
I want to write a macro that will find a set piece of text, move it offset(-1,2) and then find the next one.
For example....

I am looking for a macro that works like the ASAP Utility (Transpose data from one column to several columns in steps). To elaborate the work done by the macro it should transpose the values in a column to the number of steps that is user defined (Using InputBox) that is if there are 103 values in the column and the user enters the number of steps as 24 then the macro should transpose the data up to 24 columns and the rest in the next row up to 24 columns and so on unless the complete data is transposed.
For more clarity refer the attached excel sheet or the "Transpose data from one column to several columns in steps" utility of ASAP Utility.

Put in a statement within a Macro that populates cells with the values that I want it to but instead of populating all at the same time, is it possible for the values to be delayed.
I have designed a mock spreadsheet (attached) it has two columns 'Before' and 'After'
After = Before values (in this mock)
When you press the button, the values are populated straight into the 'After column' can we add the delay between the values? So that the values dont come up straight away.

I'm downloading data from a database that takes sometimes up to a minute to download the data. However I have a sum function in the macro that calls the cells that the downloaded data will be in. The problem is the sum function is occuring before the data is downloaded so the sum is always 0. Any way to build in a delay timer?

I have created a macro that goes to a report application. The report application runs a script that extracts certain parts of various reports (the script asks for user input to pull the various reports) and exports the data to a spreadsheet. The script gets one report, writes the data to a spreadsheet, gets the next report, appends the data to the spreadsheet, etc. The macro then moves and formats the data in a customized way to be put to second spreadsheet. My problem is that the macro tries to format the data before the script has completed - how can I stop the macro from running until the script has finished? The script varies in run time - anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes.

I am trying to produce a list of numbers (preferred Sheets Function and not VBA).
Every group should be of 5 Identical Numbers - starting with 2 and step of 2.
(An Example is shown in the attached picture).
I would like to produce that list with the help of ROW() and all available build-in Functions.
If possible, I will appreciate very much some explanation as for the principal of producing such a list when, for inatance, the step is 3 , starting from 3, while every group includes only 4 identical numbers and the first cell, to present the first value, is A11 and down to A26 - presented here in Horizontal layout:
(3,3,3,3,6,6,6,6,9,9,9,9,12,12,12,12)

I have 2 columns of data with 7,000 rows that I am trying to manipulate in the following way. The first column contains a list of car manufacturers (not really my example, but involves the same concept). The second column contains a list of different models of cars. For instance,
Ford | Taurus
Chevrolet | Avalanche
Saturn | Sky
Ford | Explorer
Honda | Accord
Ford | Taurus
What I want is a list of 2 columns with UNIQUE car manufacturers in first column with a list of UNIQUE car models (comma delimited) in second column. So for this example, the first row could read " Ford | Taurus,Explorer". I don't want Taurus to appear twice. I got a lot of help from JBeaucaire from this post. I just can't add the ability to remove car models from the list also. Thanks in advance for all the help!

I have the onerous task of dividing up a series of steps in one cell into multiple cells. I tried the text to columns utility, but it only delimits once, not multiple times. Below is a data example:
"1) Load App
2) Login using Administrator Access details .
3) Click on icon 'Admin' on the right hand side of page.
4) click on subcategory 'Administration'"
"1) Load App
2) Login using Administrator Access details .
3) Click on icon 'Admin' on the right hand side of page.
4) Click on subcategory 'Administration' .
5) Click on any Organization name from 'Organization' section in the list.
Or click on 'Add Organization' icon in section 'Organization' .
6) Validate field 'Parent Organization' in 'New Organization' or 'Edit Organization' form"
"1) Load Documoto.
2) Login using Administrator Access details .
3) Click on icon 'Admin' on the right hand side of page.
4) Click on subcategory 'Administration' .
5) Click on any Organization name from 'Organization' section in the list.
Or click on 'Add Organization' icon in section 'Organization' .
6) Validate field 'Tenant ERP Accessible' in 'New Organization' or 'Edit Organization' form"
1) Load App
2) Login using Administrator Access details .
3) Click on icon 'Admin' on the right hand side of page.
4) Click on subcategory 'Administration' .
5) Click on any Organization name from 'Organization' section in the list.
Or click on 'Add Organization' icon in section 'Organization' .
6) Validate field 'DMZ license key expiration period ' by click on checkbox or by 'Uncheck' checkbox"
I need to put each step into it's own cell.

I have a project with over 600 steps which we are trying to track when each part progresses by having 52 weekly columns. Their are 8 users which we have allocated a colour so when they complete one of the steps they select which step they have completed and which colour they are. This works well but I would like to put the date that the change was made in a separate cell in that row.
My question is can this be done with a formula as I am in favour of doing this as soon as someone changes a cell in the week range. If not I will need to nut through a VBA sub routine.
I know that this formaul does not work but it is along the lines of what I am testing for: =if(sum(T55:BM55)>" ",Date(),0) where if any of the cells in the range T55 to BM55 have any value or letter in them then put todays date in cell L55 else do nothing.

I can download my data from the web. I can set it to download every so many minutes. But, I have to select run on my vb program to complete calculations and put data in correct format/sheets. I am trying to put a delay/timer in the program so it will refresh on itself and I will not have to keep selecting program run. If I put this in program it appears to refresh in a timely manner however I do not get any data on the sheets ? I have tried the wait routine and the if now = time + routine

If for example:
I place number 7 in cell A2, A3, A12 and A22. I want to know the delay this particular number has. Looking at the example placed before the pattern should be the following (A2) 0, (A2-A3) 1, (A3-A12) 9, (A12-A22) 10. After A22 there's is no more number 7 therefore the delay in the example is of 3 i want this to change automatically until the next 7 appears. I've given an example, from C1 to P1 i have written 14 numbers i would like to know the delay of all these numbers.....

I don't know any way ask this question without attaching an example. But the problem itself is pretty easy to explain. On the attached worksheet, whenever anyone makes a change to the information in column C (labeled as Act. Chicks) this triggers a worksheet change that makes that cell have a red font. It also triggers a routine (in a standard module) that updates textboxes that continually display a running total.
Here is the problem: After the information is entered, and the routines have finished executing, there is an incredibly annoying delay of about three seconds. That is, it takes three seconds before you can even select a different cell. This is very difficult for the user to deal with, especially when she has a great deal of information that she would like to enter very quickly. What is strange to me is that if I run the routine for the Worksheet Change within the VBE, I get the delay after the last line of the code (in the standard module) has been executed. In other words, I can't see any code that is running during this long "pause." What is the computer doing during this time, and what can I do to fix it?

Workbook Name Changes – But Workbook Does Not For Five Seconds?? MS Office Excel 2003 / SP3 Installed. I have noticed an odd occurrence from time to time while switching between workbooks. When I switch from one workbook to another, (typically via the “Window” pull down – but the same result happens when switching workbooks on the tabs at the bottom of the screen), the “switched to” workbook name will instantly appear at the top of the application, but the actual switch to the selected workbook is delayed for several seconds, (five seconds or so).
While not a major issue, it is annoying. I suspect that it is a memory allocation issue, (I have a Duo CPU System / XP Pro / 2 GB RAM), and with that in mind I have both restated MS Excel and also performed a complete re-boot. While either option does (seem) to result in the issue being (temporally) removed from my machine, it does return. I may go for several days without this issue occurring, and then it appears for no known reason

I have a workbook that has many simple functions moving data around to different sheets and processing some if statements on some of the data. The problem that I am running into is all of the data is initially pulled in from a SQL DB, and I believe that the workbook is calculating many of it's if statements, prior to all of the SQL data being loaded, therefore, many of the worksheet formulas are coming up with the wrong result. Is there a way to delay the calculation of all the basic worksheet functions, so that I can ensure that all the data is in the workbook from SQL, before they all fire. I have attempted to use Tools--Options--Calculation--Manual Calculation, but it appears that even though I have things set that way, all of the formulas in the workbook have already pulled their values through.

been checking out 1/2 a second wait instead of a 1 sec wait
and would like to know it you can do this
timer thing
Dim x As Single
x = Timer
While Timer - x < 0.5
Wend
more than once
it works the first time and then it sort of skips it
or is there ANOTHER way of having a delay of less than a second?

I have the following code saving a copy of a spreadsheet as a backup every 30 minutes. The problem is the save code is running as soon as the file is opened. I want to save only after the file has been open for 30 minutes. The way it is now if I open the sheet up and something is wron the backup has already been overwritten by the messed up sheet. Will someone please let me know what needs changed to eliminate the inital running of the code?
Sub do_something()
sec = 1800
when = Now + sec / 60 / 60 / 24
Application.OnTime when, "do_something"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "S:QUALITYTest Results Spread SheetBackup of Riser MezRiser Mez backup.xls"

I have used Chip's StringConcat code [url]
When I first entered the function code as a formula on the worksheet, the result was instant and correct.
However, if I change the contents of one of the cells in the stringconcat range, the result does not change.
I need to edit (eg F2 then enter) either the cell with the text or the cell with the formula for the result to update.
If I highlight the column where the formula is used and Find / Replace to change "=" for "=", they all update at once (tip I learn't here)
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas why it may happen?
Notes:
I am using Excel 2000 (work)
I have 6 cols of info (I to N),
These 6 columns contain formulae that basically copies plain text from the same row in Cols A to F. (Since not all the left hand side cells are full, the formula copies down the value above if the cell isblank, or copies the cell value if there istext)
Formula is in Cell G2 and reads
=stringconcat("; ",TRUE,I2:N2)
Code is stored in the Module1
I have 1 header row (Row 1)
I have 16 rows of text (Rows 2 to 17)
Not all rows have text in all 6 columns, but the are no blank cells betweeen data working left to right
I need our IT Admin to install Excel Genie!
