Delay A Change For 20 Seconds
Sep 23, 2007I’m using live data and was wondering if it’s it possible to trigger B1 to change its value from ‘no’ to ‘yes’ 20 seconds after cell A1 changes its value from 0 to 1?

View 9 RepliesI 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?
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 want to change 1 minute 24 seconds and 5 tenths into a seconds number. So basically it would come out as 84.50 seconds.

Here is the sample
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow 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
I have been trying for the last two weeks to convert a list of seconds into minutes and seconds, but just can not do it?

120000

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
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'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?
is it possible to put a delay of 1 second between these 2 lines?

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.....
Is there a way to delay the result of a cell formula by three seconds or so? For example, I need to delay the result value of cell B12 for 3 seconds.
Trying to find a way to close outlook from excel workbook close. If outlook is open then delay excel workbook 45 seconds from closing.If outlook is not open then close excel normal. Here is what I've tried with no luck

Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"

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?
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 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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?
