I am trying to write a macro that will move the values of cells within a
column down a cell at differnt intervals - every 60 seconds move D1 to D2,
every 58 second move D2 to D3, every 56 seconds move D3 to D4, and so on
(fall down) with the last one (D10) being cleared out every 42 seconds.
Needless to say I am having some difficulty doing so. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Dustin,

Try the macros below. Run "Start" to begin, and "StopMacros" to end...

Thank you very much

Look at the ontime method

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm

Just put code in the procedure(s) to accomplish the functionality you want.

I guess you could have 10 different initiators that continue to operate at
the specifided intervals. Or keep track of when the next one should run by
managing some type of stack structure.
