Default Is there a formula for a timer

Hi,

If you mean an updating digital clock then the answers no, you have to make
your own.

Alt+F11 to open VB editor. Right click 'This Workbook' and insert module and
paste the code below in. Run the 'StartClock module and you get your clock in
Sheet 1 - A1. Stop it manually when exiting Excel or better still put the
StopClock sub in the before close event.

Dim Go As Boolean
Sub StartClock()
Go = True
MyClock
End Sub

Sub MyClock()
If Go Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value = Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss")
Application.OnTime (Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)), "MyClock"
End If
End Sub

Sub StopClock()
Go = False
End Sub
