How to find out how long it's been since a link updated
Hello Knowledgable ones,
I have an Excel 2003 worksheet that have external links in it to a website. The links should be updating every 20 seconds. I want to be able to write a formular in excel or somewthing that will tell me how long it has been since the cell last updated as it is really imporatant that I am looking at current info (and I have had problems with the data source going off line). I would also love to be able to record what the data was before the info updates as well so I can so what the movements have been. Any idea??? Thanks Jenny |
How to find out how long it's been since a link updated
The easiest way to precisely control the updates is to use an OnTime Event.
You can: 1. synch the update time to your system clock 2. record values before and after the refresh 3. record the last refresh time in a cell At any point you can display the time since the last update or the time to the next update. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200810 "GuinnessT" wrote: Hello Knowledgable ones, I have an Excel 2003 worksheet that have external links in it to a website.
