    Simulated Elapsed Timer with refresh control

    Elapsed_Time.xlsx

    I am trying to create a simulated timer that reads from a list of times previously created. I also need it to have a delay or speed to refresh the displayed time.

    Any help or advice will be highly appreciated.

    Please see attached file as example.

    Re: Simulated Elapsed Timer with refresh control

    Your description gets started but doesn't tell us what result you are trying to get. You have a list of times, OK. Aside from that it is not clear where you want to go. I don't know what this means: "a delay or speed to refresh the displayed time". You have a spin button that doesn't link to a cell, so I don't know what you want it to do.

    Can you explain more about what actions the user is expected to take, and what is supposed to happen as a result?

    Let me add more to the spreadsheet's goal. I want to be able to adjust the speed that the display with the elapsed time is displaying. Here are two examples:
    Example 1: I want to move to the next time stamp every 10 seconds. The spreadsheet will behave like this,
    Start Timer ---> Display counter 1 time (1:00) ---> wait 10 seconds ---> Display counter time 2(2:00) ---> wait 10 seconds ---> display counter #3 ---> and so on...

    Example 2: Now I want to move to the next time stamp every 5 seconds by adjusting the spin buttons...
    Start Timer ---> Display counter 1 time (1:00) ---> wait 5 seconds ---> Display counter time 2(2:00) ---> wait 5 seconds ---> display counter #3 ---> and so on...

    I am not a VBA expert, but I think it should look something like this,
