Function NOW
I would like to have the function €œNOW€ on more then one place in a worksheet
and be able to choose when each cell is calculated |
Function NOW
1. first enter this tiny User Defined Function:
Function nnow() As Date nnow = Now End Function 2. Then In A1 enter 0 3. then, in another cell, say B9, enter: =nnow()+a1 and format this cell as Custom mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss B9 will now display like NOW(), but only update when you change the value in A1. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200856 |

Thanks for the answer
Where can I define my own functions? //Peter "Gary''s Student" wrote: 1. first enter this tiny User Defined Function: Function nnow() As Date nnow = Now End Function 2.

UDFs are very easy to install and use: 1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window 2. ALT-I ALT-M opens a fresh module 3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the UDF will be saved with it. To use the UDF from the normal Excel window, just enter it like a normal Excel Function To remove the UDF: 1. bring up the VBE window as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To learn more about UDFs, see: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Writin...ionsInVBA.aspx -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200856 "PeterW" wrote: Thanks for the answer Where can I define my own functions? //Peter "Gary''s Student" wrote: 1. first enter this tiny User Defined Function: Function nnow() As Date nnow = Now End Function 2.
