Question

Let’s say cell A1 has the value 1. I want this cell to increment itself every second.
So after 1 second, cell A1 now has the value 2. After two seconds the value is 3, etc, etc, etc.

How can I set that up?

Answer 1

Here’s a way to do it using VBA:

Sub CellTimer()

    Sheet1.Range("A2").Value = 1
    Do
        Application.Wait (Now() + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
        Sheet1.Range("A2").Value = Sheet1.Range("A2").Value + 1
    Loop

End Sub

This has its quirks, but I don’t know what you’re going to use this for, so I don’t know, maybe this will suit your purposes.
