What I am trying to do is have a macro that do a comparison between 2 cells every 100 milliseconds. One of the cell is constant updating from RTD (Real Time Data). And if its false, to nothing. However if true, I would want it to run some codes and exit the macro/procedure. I also need some way of stopping the macro at any time.
View 6 RepliesI am using a VBA macro (Using mouse clicks as inputs for neuroscience experiment?).
What the macro does is it inputs a timestamp every time a keyboard combination is used (alt+right arrow in this case).
The part of the macro which inputs the timestamp is like this:
Sub AltRight_Sub()
On Error Resume Next
Cancel = True
Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS")
End Sub
I would like the timestamp to be displayed as HH:MM:SS.00, i.e. show the milliseconds. I tried playing around with the timestamp format (changing it to = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS.00" or = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS.0;@")) or = Format(Now, "MM:SS.000") and I tried using = Evaluate("=NOW()") instead of = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS".
In cell A1 we have the word "one", and in B1 we have the word "two". Would it be possible to have a timer function run for 5 seconds, counting from 5 to 0, and everytime the timer reaches 0, the word in A1 is copied and pasted into cell C1, the timer resets and counts again to zero, this time when it gets to zero, it copies and pastes the word in cell B1 to C1. So it's like a flip flop function, with cell C1 changing it's value every 5 seconds. Also, this code needs to start running automatically when the sheet is opened. Is this at all possible with VBA?..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to compare three formula results and return the largest number. Ex.:
2217922
The first three numbers are formula results and the last is the following formula:
=IF(O5>P5,O5,IF(P5>Q5,P5,Q5))
Unfortunately, with the list below, you can see the last number (the comparison formula) isn't always the greater of the three:
2217922
2017920
01799
01399
01399
01299
01299
01299
01299
01199
01199
01099
0088
0077
0077
I've also tried other formulas, with no success:
=LARGE(O5:Q5,1)
=MAX(O5:Q5)
=IF(MAX(O5:Q5)=O5,O5,IF(MAX(O5:Q5)=P5,P5,IF(MAX(O5:Q5)=Q5,Q5,"Error")))
What's odd is that if I create the formulas above independent of the specific formula data (O5, P5, and Q5) and just type in numbers, those formulas do exactly what they should. Can I not compare data returned though formula calculations?
I'm playing a game that requires me to keep track of money that is increased by a variable amount (pre-calculated and in a cell) and in a fixed time interval of 51 minutes weather I play it or not so I want to be able to keep track of the progress of the money gain outside of the game.
So, I need to know the macro coding for a real time counter that will increase the total money amount in one cell based on the variable income (declared in another cell) in the 51 minute intervals.
now... I also need excel to keep track of the value increase even if excel is closed (by the difference in time from when excel was closed last).
I want the macro to run 20 seconds after data has been input to the worksheet. See below codes
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
ActiveSheet.Unprotect

If cell.Value "" Then
cell.Locked = True
[Code]....
to compare the values of data on one sheet (sheet1) with that of another (sheet2) to see if there has been any changes between the sheets over the previous week. If a macro could go through my data on sheet1, compare cell-by-cell the data that's in sheet 2 and highlight in red font any cells that have different values that would be awesome.
The macro would need to leave the "fill color" of the cell as it was.
I have the Macro

That starts a timer macro (Recalc) in my excel sheet when the workbook is opened, my issue is that when the work book closes it continues to run.
Will the following macro fix this problem, or is there some command like Workbook_Open() but for closing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that runs when a spreadsheet is opened however i sometimes need it not to run. Rather then furiously hit escape i was hoping to get a dialog box that would prompt yes/no to run the macro and if an option was not chosen after a few second then to run the macro anyway (so basically only by clicking "no" would you stop the macro from running).
I found this code here that gives me the yes/no message box and the 5 second time-out to get rid of the message box, however if the message times out it doesn't run the macro. what i need to tweak to make it do so if no input comes from the user? [URL]
Is there a way to have a count up timer display in a cell while a macro is running, and then stop when the macro stops
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on Excel file with names and I would like to have a possibility to check if all characters from one cell are mentioned in another one.
The background of the problem is that the names are provided in different types (e.g. O.M.Izgala, M.O.Izgala, or only Izgala) so I believe I should first remove any spaces, dots etc. to have clear continuous text.
Finding a formula (if any exist), which can check if all digits from one cell are in the second relevant cell regardless the order of the digits. I would like to show you short example:
name needs to be checked cell to compare expected results
OMIZGALA MIZGALA no (as O is not in the relevant cell)
OMIZGALA MIZGALAO yes (as all digits are mentioned in the relevant cell but in different order)
OMIZGALA MOIZGALA yes (as all digits are mentioned in the relevant cell but in different order)
if it can work in Excel.
Here is exactly what was described:
A good place to start is to add some "timer code" in your macro. Add a small routine that saves a time value, and another routine that compares that saved value to the current time and displays the difference. At the beginning of a section of code you want to analyze, you call the first routine (which saves the start time), and then at the end of the section of code you call the second routine. In that way, you can determine which portions of your code are taking the longest time to execute. These are the code sections you then focus on, so you can figure out what they are doing that is taking so long.
This sounds like a great tool for optimization...
I've tried some of the basic formulas, but this is beyond me.
I have table A of 500 rows and need to compare it to table B of 2000 rows.
A
B
C
D
E
1
D6 - 1.01
Table with PC
3
Yes
2
D6 - 1.01
Bookshelf
4
No
[Code] .......
For example with these two, from the second table to the first. IF column B equal to column and the corresponding column C equal to the corresponding column C, return for example "yes". Then I need to check the same thing for the corresponding other columns, but basically everything would be tied to B and C. The problem is the second table, larger one, is basically all over the place, I could manage to do this if we would be talking equal length tables, but I do not know what formulas I could use to check further down a row once we find an equal value.
I'm trying to do a comparison amongst several cells and returning a 1 if true. if D25 is blank or does not equal Yes, Mixed or SP3, and if both F25 and G25 are blank, the output the value 1. First try:
=IF(AND(D21="",D21<>"Mixed",F21="",G21=""),1,"") - This seems to ignore the Mixed and outputs a 1 even if D21=Mixed.
Second try:
=IF(AND(OR(D25<>"Yes",D25<>"Mixed",D25<>"SP3"),F25="",G25=""),1,"") - same as above, if D25=Mixed then value of the cell is 1.
I have a worksheet that has macro events attached to command buttons. When a ‘Start’ command button is clicked, a timer begins counting in seconds and displays the value in cell B3 until a ‘Stop’ command button is clicked. The event works flawlessly as long as I don’t open up another workbook (to continue working in Excel).
When the second workbook is open…then time stops working in the workbook where the macro was created…and starts displaying the ‘timer count in seconds’ in the new active workbook--which overwrites/destroys the data in the newly opened workbook. When I go back to the original book that called the macro…it continues counting again.
I need this timer to continue running in the workbook with the command buttons (in the background) while I work on other worksheets in other books. Is there a way to keep the timer running no matter how many other workbooks are opened and prevent it from overwriting whatever sheet is active? This code in the Increment Sub below ‘overwrites’ the contents of cell B3 on whatever sheet is active---and stops the timer in the on the sheet with the ‘Start’ command button.
I am looking for a way to measure how long it takes to complete a sub routine in VBA. I have code which posts data to matlab and then calls it back. What I need to know is how long does it take to complete each subroutine.
create a code which will measure this? I need to measure the time taken in 100ths of a second.
Is there any simple code to complete this? I am pasting a sample of my code which is using Matlab as a COM server.
Dim Matlab As Object
Dim MReal(10, 0) As Double
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim MImag() As Double
Dim value As Double
Dim RealValue As Double
I am sure I woould need to declare the timer but I do not know where and I am not sure of the syntax.
where i can get this download for Excel?

I have done a measurement with the labview programm and I have saved it in a txt file, but I need to open it with excel to finish my work. When I open it with excel the time column shows the time that each measurement was taken, like the time in a digital clock. I need to change that form to appear the time between 2 measurements (Δt) in milliseconds (which of course has to be the same Δt every time). I've been told that I can change that, but I don't know how...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI set the time format to hh:mm:ss.000 to show also the milliseconds.
How can I get the milliseconds to another cell for making some calculations?
Is it possible to insert a wait command in milliseconds- minimum I have seen is a second?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf the time is not less than 0.001 seconds, then multiply it by 1000, and express it in milliseconds. Otherwise: If the time is not less than 0.000001 seconds, then multiply it by 1000000, and express it in microseconds.

My challenge is discovering the difference in time between two rows of data that is imported with milliseconds in the time slot.

I am looking for a macro or function (VBA) that will modifiy the value of the selected cell or cells. the code should support selection of one cell, a range or multiple ranges.
I envision the user making his range selection(s). Activating a function or clicking a button that would pop open a modal window. The user would have the option to either adjust the values by a % change (i.e. up or down 7%), or incremental change (i.e. up olr down 100 units). The function would overite the value in the cells.
Has anyone ever done something similar? Is it hard to program?

1) Date: "30/10/2013"
