I have very little experience with Excel. What I am trying to do is to convert a timecode in this format 00;22;21;00 that is 22 min 21 sec and 00 frames to a serie of numbers that I have hard time to figure out. Example
00;22;21;00 = 13410000000
I want to be able to paste the timecode from premiere 2.0 (00;22;21;00) into a Excel cell that would automaticly convert it to (13410000000) so that i can eventualy generate a .txt file that would look like this:
<Scripts >
<Script Type="URL"
Command="http://www.softfx.com/slide01"
Time="13410000000" />
</Scripts>

I have an excel sheet which has a macro which captures the current time in a cell with the formula =now(). What I am looking for is that once a user runs a macro and the time is inserted into that cell then that cell should be locked and cannot be changed then. If this can be done by any formula / function or VBA.

I have a spreadsheet that calculates percentages and then outputs the results to a pie chart. There are 9 different percentages being graphed in cells A41 to A49. The chart looks weird if any of the percentages end up being 0, so I have the formula set to add 0.00001 to each calculation (so they show up as 0% and display on the chart as 0%, but truly are 0.00001). I would like it so that if any of these 9 percentages ends up being 0 (or really 0.00001) that the row automatically hides and thus won't display on the pie chart. How can I create a macro that automatically runs to accomplish this, and automatically updates as percentages are recalculated.

I trying to figure a formula to convert time on a phone call eg. 01:01:21 into total seconds (3661). Phonecalls will never be more than an hour long but the spreadsheet I will be supplied with (havn't got it yet!) will display them in the 00:00:00 format.

I am trying to write code which takes a reading off of a device every .005 seconds.
When I write the code as follows to take the reading every .004 seconds things work well.
PauseTime=5
Start = Timer
Oldtime=Timer
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
If Timer > Oldtime + .004 Then
Oldtime = Timer
Read(count) = Orbit.Networks(0).Modules(0).ReadCurrent
count = count + 1
End If
Loop
Finish = Timer
If however in the above code I only change .004 to .005 instead of taking readings every .005 seconds, I end up with readings roughly .015 seconds apart (approx)
Is there something unstable about the timer function to do this? Is there a different way to get a more stable result?

How would I go about converting - for example:
0:22 (formated general) to a number = 22
or
1:30 (formated general) to a number = 90

I am trying to convert a number of "hours" "minutes" and "seconds", to give me a result in seconds only, in order that I may then financially cost the amount of time spent on a task. (A time and motion costing exercise)
Example:
1119:48:06
Represents 1119hours:48minutes:36seconds spent on a task.
I can manually convert this to 4031286 seconds, but it just takes too much time !!!(sorry!)
The data is extracted from a database which is unable to split the hours,minutes,seconds into seperate fields, which prevents me from using three cells in excel.

I have a spreadsheet that imports data relating to phone call durations. The information imports as a total number of seconds taken.
What I need to do is to change that number of seconds into hours, minutes and seconds.
Changing the format of the cells doesn't work.
I've tried everything I can think of, and run out of ideas.
example:
23 needs changing to 00:00:23
96 needs changing to 00:01:36
268 to 00:04:28
9374 to 02:35:14

Is there a way to make a macro delay for like 30 seconds before it does its thing? What I'm trying to do is have something turned off before the spreadsheet is saved, and after the spreadsheet is saved have a macro that runs 30 seconds afterwards to turn said feature back on. On error this macro will simply terminate.

I want to trigger a macro that refreshes a pivot table but I only want to trigger the macro after 15 seconds. The reason is that I am pulling the source data from access mdb so I want only to refresh the data once the data is pulled.

I have a column of cells in my worksheet that look like this:
1/1/2007 10:53:31 AM
1/1/2008 8:35:46 AM
1/1/2008 8:35:54 AM
1/10/2008 1:39:26 PM
As you can see this is a timestamp in the format: m/d/yyy hh:mm:ss a/pm
The problem is that I’m trying to import this data into another program that accepts the same format without the SECONDS field: m/d/yyy hh:mm a/pm
Since I have thousands of rows of data it just isn’t feasible to go through and manually remove the seconds data from each cell.
Is there a macro or some other shortcut that can do this?
The ultimate goal would be to have the data above end up looking like this:
1/1/2007 10:53 AM
1/1/2008 8:35 AM
1/1/2008 8:35 AM
1/10/2008 1:39 PM

I have a fairly simple macro that takes a few seconds on my XP-computer with Excel 2003 but takes several minutes on my Vista-computer with Excel 2007.
The XP-PC has 2GB memory, the Vista-PC only 1GB, but it's hard to believe it's only that.
Is Excel 2007 so much slower than 2003?
The macro makes quite extensive use of the .rows(Rownr).Delete method. Is the fact that 2007 has 1 million rows against the 65536 of 2003 the culprit? It has to shift much more data up when deleting a row, no?

I have a presentation that I open from a short-cut. After the "Welcome Page" is opened, I want to open a second workbook in a new instance of Excel after 4 seconds.
I think that I can open the new instance of excel, but I don't know how to activate the macro after 4 seconds.
I'm sure there is a function someplace for this that can be used in a macro.
Then, after the second Workbook is opened, I want the Welcome Page "Workbook" closed, leaving the second Worbook open.

This is my

If CheckBox2.Value = True Then Range("RANGE_ELECTRICAL_SERVICE").PrintOut Copies:=1
etc. Note: I have about 80 checkboxes on my form.

I have written some code intended to automatically clear a cell when data appears in it from an external source. In one spreadsheet, it seems to work exactly as expected, ie when the cell is polulated, it immediately clears the contents. In another spreadsheet, with exactly the same code, it will not automatically clear. If I put it in debug mode and step through it line by line, then it does do as expected but otherwise it won't.

Is there a way to automatically conditionally format each column in each row, when either open, closed or cancelled is selecting from a drop down in the Status column. For example every cell is blank in colour, but if I select open in the drop down menu for row A2, the entire row will turn Red. Just wondered if there is a way instead of individually formatting every row separately. I would like to be able to copy the formula or whatever down the entire sheet.

I have an excel add-in that has got few macros which require two references,
1) Microsoft Word 12.0 object library
2) Microsoft Internet Controls
I have checked both these references and the macros are running perfectly on my PC. but when I distribute this add-in, sometimes the references are checked but sometimes it gives an error and the user is required to check the reference again.
Can i use some code to automatically check these two references. or is there some other easier way to get rid of this error.

I'm trying to write a VBA code to automatically update using a vlookup but I seem to be running into trouble, partically with the lookup value part of my vlookup. I basically have a range of dates in column B and want the values to appear in column C. Yes, I know I just type the forumla in column C and drag it down, but I really need to do it in VBA, as I want this to update when additional dates are added.
This is what I have thus far. The code keeps looping at i = i +1 and doesn't stop unless interuppted.
Sub update()
Dim i As Integer, L() As Range, s As Integer, V As Double
Sheets(1).Activate
s = Range("D:D").Select
On Error Resume Next
While s ""
i = i + 1
ReDim Preserve L(i To 1)
L(i) = s
Wend
If i = 0 Then
MsgBox "No dates found"
End If
Exit Sub
For i = 1 To UBound(L)
V = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(s, Range("Inputs"), 2, 0)
Next i
End Sub
