Anwser: Change Cell format from D3 into Text instead of General or Time
I'm trying to delay a macro by a variable amount of time.
And I'd like to be able to adjust the amount of delay in my excel workbook without having to open a macro.
I tryed the code below but got :
run time error 13 (Type mismatch).
Is this solvable?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim Response As Integer
t = Range("D3")
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("t"))
-Cell Format: First Tryed Time (0:00:00), then changed it back to general.
-The data in Cell "D3" : 0:00:00, 0:00:01, 0:30:00 or higher values.
-Time format= General --> t turns out to be something like 0,00000453*E-5 When "D3" is 0:00:01
Time format = time --> t turns out to be empty (using the 37:23:23 time format)
In facts, it is pretty simple mistake, Just changeTimeValue("t") to TimeValue(t)
Why is that?
You need to input a time value formatted as text into TimeValue() function, you are getting this value properly into the variable t.
The problem is when you reuse this, because "t" is a String only containing the t letter and not the variable t!
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim Response As Integer
t = CStr(Range("D3"))
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue(t))
