Stopwatch
I've got three sons I like to watch bike race.
Is there a way I can make a timer for the laptop in Excel that I use as follows: Press 'S' at the starting gun. Press '1' each time son 1 completes a lap and place that lap time in a column, with the previous lap times. Be able to do the same during the same race with the other sons, 2 and 3. What kind of time resolution can I expect i.e. 1/10sec? 1/100sec? I understand that this is a very general question, but if it seems like a do-able project I can come back to the group later to ask specifics. Thanks for being there. Sam Beardsley |

Sam,
I wrote a simple spreadsheet that does just that, where the time is entered for each lap by selecting a cell in a table. If you want to try that version, contact me privately (take the spaces out of my email address, change the at to @ and the dot to .), and let me know how many laps you need to record.
