Default A stopwatch to record time in a cell

Hi Gabe;

You can use;

activecell = Format(finalTime, "0.00")

or

Range("D1") = Format(finalTime, "0.00")
Thanks,

Greg

Hi,

I'm new to programming in excel, actually this is the

first time.
What I'm trying to do is have a worksheet capture the

time of a task.
I've been able to creat a stopwatch in excel using the

following:

Option Explicit

Private startTime As Single

Private Sub StartButton_Click()
startTime = Timer
End Sub

Private Sub StopButton_Click()
Dim finalTime As Single
finalTime = Timer - startTime
MsgBox Format(finalTime, "0.00")
End Sub

What I want to have is this stopwatch on the worksheet,

but to record
the time in a cell and then move down to the next cell

after
resetting. I may not need the stopwatch, but can use the

Now() and
subtract the times. Can anyone point me in the right

direction to do
this or possible help me get started?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
