Record time peroid to run code
 

Hi

Is there a msgbox method that will record the length of time it take for
code to complete its execution.

Thank you.

Record time peroid to run code
 

Sub TestTime()
Dim StartTime As Single
StartTime = Timer

'do code here

MsgBox "Code took " & Timer - StartTime & " seconds"
End Sub

Hi,

Timer is the number of seconds since midnight so this will fail if the code
runs over midnight

Dim runtime As Long
Start = Timer
'Your code
MsgBox = Timer - Start

it would help if I read my code before posting it:(

Try this instead


Start = Timer
'Your code

MsgBox Timer - Start

Hi folks
Thanks for all the advice.

I went for Mike H. approach as it will deal with the midnight issue.

My test returned 1786.469

It would be helpful if the result can be in the hh:mm:ss format.

Thank you

In all the other replies, don't use Timer, use Time(). Then even if it takes
days, it will be accurate.

Try this:
MsgBox Format(Timer - Start,"HH:MM:SS")

Sometimes I want to check several substeps, in which case (just out of
habit) I tend to use:

Time1 = now()
'do code
Time2 = now()
'more code
Time3=now()
etc.

then just use any combo of those, such as
msgbox "Part 1: " & Format(Time2-Time1,"HH:MM:SS") & chr(13) & _
"Part 2: " & Format(Time3-Time2,"HH:MM:SS")

and so on.

didn't do too much testing, but see if this works for you:

dim startTime as date
dim endTime as date
dim tTime as date
starttime = Now()
' your code
endTime = Now()
tTime = (endTime - startTime) * 86400
Debug.Print WorksheetFunction.Floor(tTime / 60, 1) & " minutes " & tTime Mod 60
& " seconds"

or you can use a msgbox instead of the debug.print statement

msgbox WorksheetFunction.Floor(tTime / 60, 1) & " minutes " & tTime Mod 60 & "
seconds"
