Yes. A video posted more than 2 years ago and it helped an Excel newcomer. Thank you. Now all I need is to learn how to place a textbox for each of my sheet and triggered only by one button.

Your video tutorial format and presentation is EXCELlent !!! Much appreciation for this clear and concise presentation.

Thanks for posting! I adapted this to count upward and added a reset button.

Excellent demo! Works perfect thanks so much

THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO! SUPER helpful!!!!

Great tutorial...Something I really needed for a project that I am working on. Thank you!

Is it possible to apply a timer to the Emails ? Say every 7 months for exemple it sends an Email. What would be the formula ?

good video....got eveything answered after reading entire post thx alot

Awesome, thanks for the tutorial!!

Great video, many thanks. Very clear.

How would you go about adding a reset button that would reset back to original start time? thx

This is fantastic. Thank you!Is there a way to set the start timer to then open a text box for writing and when the timer is done to close it? I am a teacher trying to figure out a way to set up a 3 minute timed writing. This is the closest I have gotten to what I want. Thanks!

Interesting video. I have the timer working now as you described it. What I need is a timer that counts down from 30 days to zero. Is this an easy mod to the code you wrote?

Thanks for the help! One question. How can I get a count-up timer to go past 23:59:59 without resetting to 0:00:0? I tried changing the cell format but no luck.

i am 12 old year boy but i done it with this video☺☺☺.best video ever

do you know why i can not set the countdown timer clock in the excel 2010 Mac ? the Excel just appear error 440 , what is that mean ? anything i can do for it ? thank you for your teaching.

Thanks for sharing this with us all

you are the best, thank you.

Hello, Like your video, I have no programing skills and am trying to do something like what you did but I need to do something like this with out adding the text box. I need that when I enter any information to cell B5 cell or text box or button starts counting down. Then when I enter info on another cell say cell c57 it stops or if I don't enter anything in any other cell I can click on the count down cell/text box/button to stop it. Can you help with that. I also have an existing VBA on this work sheet so I just want to add it in to that VBA instead of creating a new module if that is possible.

Thanks for this explanation. How do I get this timer to be active and visible in several worksheets in the same workbook

I Wanted to learn this a long time! THX (Pun intended!)

Cool bro!

Thank you @anameiwontforget this is exactly what i was looking for !!!!!!

Every time it changes to the next second after I have formatted it as mm:ss it automatically reformats to mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm. Is there any way for me to add into the code to constantly format the column as mm:ss?

@Anameiwontforget Is it possible to loop this? To automatically reset and begin the countdown again unless the "stop Timer" button is pressed? Thanks in advance!

It seems to be working very well, but every time it ticks, my cursor flashes. The timer is part of a much more complex sheet. But no other subs are running and it still flashes. The workbook still works correctly but it's annoying. Any advice?

Thanks for the help. I'm moving forward . Could you make a video of something super cool I can do. Please. I'm in the process of re-learning. Again. Huge thanks for the help.

Great but how do you get the "Design Mode" in Excel?

I created a timer exactly as in the video with the exception of the time to begin the countdown. Sheet1.Range("B1").Value is a string variant and is an integer variant, causing a type mismatch error. 1. Why does it work in the video but not on my desktop and 2. how do I resolve this?

Hi. Great video. I used it to create not a count down time but a sort of stopwatch that shows the elapsed time. It works well but I realize the macro stops to work when I am inserting content into cells. The whole purpose of the worksheet is to be able to insert the shirt number of the participants in a race as they reach the goal. so the timer shouldn't stop everytime I insert a number. Do you know why this happens and if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

Sorry, I should have just use my brain a bit before starting to ask for help. I managed. Instead of using the same system of adding a seconder each second I just made it calculate NOW - Starting point every second. The macro still doesnt update the cell when inserting new data but it will then continue with the right elapsed time next time it updates

Hi Can it it me user wise data? Like if I am using it and used 2 min so it can track 2 min and the other user can see who has how much time.

the video is really good at showing how to make a countdown timer. Do you know how you would make a thrid button, a reset button and code, so it starts resets the counter to for example 5minutes and you just have to press start counter. To start it all again

Good. Exactly what I was looking for.. the problem is that o Mac if I start the timer and then I select another application to do something else, the timer gets frozen. It will continue only if I select excel window again.. any idea?

thank u sir my homework is finished

first of all i would like to thank you for your information to help me to completing my project. but i do find some problem as like 1)if timer is on and if i do want to type in another cell the timer is been stop. 2)and when timer is complete it delete the formula from the reference cell as like cell "C:6" IS my number value (for example:- 90) and cell "P:3" has formula of =DOLLARED(C6,60)/1440 With format of time"00:00:00" so that if i type 90 in cell(C:6) it convert with the formula and show value (01:30:00) in "P:3" and ''P:3" is the reference to my text box

Is it possible to apply a timer to the Emails ? Say every 7 months for exemple it sends an Email. What would be the formula ?

Why do you use ActiveX buttons instead of assigning Subs directly to Form Control buttons? And why the countdown jumps so fast every time you clicked start? Like from 4:59 to 4:58. Thanks!

@MortenBN1988

5 жыл бұрын

The countdown can jump the first second depending on the system time. This is caused because this timer works by counting one second down for each second the system time has counted one second forward. In the "starttimer" Sub you can see that the "nexttick" Sub is initiated every time the system time is at its current time (Now) + 1 second. With this method the first second in the countdown will always be shorter than an actual second as there's already a second in progress when you press the button. Hope you understand.

Hi sir. Can you combine this method with randbetween?

Hey man, great video, but one question. I got the timer working, but I also noticed that if you did anythings else on the page or in the workbook the timer would stop on its own. How good is the timer if you can't work in the current project. It's a time management thing. Any suggestions.

Chris Thompson Copy and paste below in place of the code from the original video. no time to make a video, but bottom line is, it ties the timer to the actual time, so if you type something and manipulate the spreadsheet, the timer will appear to stop, but will catch up where it should be once the edit is done. ---------------------------------- Dim Starttime Dim timerlength Sub starttimer() Starttime = Now() timerlength = Sheet1.Range("b1") Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "nexttick" End Sub Sub looptimer() Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "nexttick" End Sub Sub nexttick() If Sheet1.Range("b1") Sheet1.Range("B1") = 0 Exit Sub End If Sheet1.Range("b1").Value = timerlength - (Now() - Starttime) looptimer End Sub Sub stoptimer() On Error Resume Next Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "nexttick", , False End Sub ----------------------------------------------

HI I am using Excel 2016. And, I have entered the code exactly as the one in the video. Everthing else is fine. However, I came a cross a problem when I am at the step of setting the timer to show a red reminder when less than 10s left. The code I entered is as following: Sub starttimer() Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "nextick" End Sub Sub nextick() If Sheet1.Range("C1") = 0 Then Exit Sub Sheet1.Range("C1").Value = Sheet1.Range("C1").Value - TimeValue("00:00:01") If Sheet1.Range("C1").Value

How can I add a "reset" button that would reset the time to the original time?

@anameiwontforget

The easiest way to do something like this would be to add a button (change the caption to "reset timer" as seen at 0:53) , and in design mode, double click the button and then when the code page opens add sheet1.range("b2").value = timevalue("00:05:00") with the timevalue being equal to whatever you want the timer to reset to in hours:minutes:seconds format.

I have made an exam in excel and set this count down timer but it pauses when i access other cells for typing.. any solution

I duplicated your code and I have the timer working (quite an accomplishment for a non-programmer type like myself)! I have one question. I'd like to move the text box to another sheet. I tried to cut-and-paste it to the other sheet and now the code can't find the text box. I tried updating the code to look at sheet5 instead of your sheet1. any ideas?

@anameiwontforget

8 жыл бұрын

You need to make sure the text box is linked to the cell with that countdown value. If you are working on sheet5, you could always just click on a cell in sheet5, type an = sign then click on cell B2 in sheet1. This would make that cell in sheet5 match the value of the timer as it counts down, then you could create a text box on sheet5, click on the text box, and in the formula bar type = then click on the new cell in sheet5 that you made match the value from sheet1.

how would this be done on google sheets?

Hi i have a big concern here. If i click on 'Start Timer' multiple times, the clock runs faster. Like if i click thrice, it runs on 3x speed. Can you please help me eliminate this issue?

Hey mate, Thanks so much for this video - really helped me out creating some countdown timers. Got a problem though - I'm trying to run 4 different timers concurrently, and they seem to be tripping over each other. The timers are not counting down smoothly, and almost seem as if they're conflicting with each other. I basically used your code and padded it out a little, calling each sub _1, _2, _3, _4 for the respective timers. When each timer reaches zero it increments a value in a cell then restarts. I have command buttons to start and stop the timers individually.

Just thinking - at 0 you could start a count-up timer and add an indicator label stating that this is now "negative" count up, or something similar, like special formatting of the label value. So you are reporting the seconds after the count-down reached zero - and you can "think" of those seconds as being "negative" relative to the count-down timer's 0 value.

The next thing I am wondering is how to pin it on top of windows system....

Is your sheet actually called Sheet1? If not you need to correct that in the code or edit the name of the sheet. Also it's good practice to always write cell references in capital. You and the OP only have a capital cell ref. in the first part of the line. It should be O6 and not o6. :-)
