Default Use real time clock within a spreadsheet?

Matt,

You can find a real time clock at
http://xldynamic.com/source/xld.XtraTime.html. Assuming that I get the time,
I will update it to have a countdown tomorrow (it is late here now), so keep
checking back. Can you explain that bit about two variables a bit more?

Hi!

I'm new to Excel and I want to do something that seems to be pretty
complicated (for me)!

I want to insert a clock onto a sheet and have it update in real time
when I start the program. It also then needs to count down for a given
period of time.

Also, I want it to update two other variables which would be defined
dependant upon how much time has elapsed. For example it goes from 10
to 20 after 5 minutes, 20 to 50 after 10, and so on.

Is there any easy way for me to do this? I'm a bit of a newbie to the
more complicated features of Excel but I understand Macros a bit so
some steps in the right direction would be a great help.

Thanks for all your advice in advance.

MATT
