    Start Macros every 24 hours

    Dear members of the forum,

    is it possible to start a macro every 24 hours?
    I would like to make a dynamic dashboard and therefor I need to refresh the data once a day.
    How can I program something like this?
    I have the macro already, I just need to autostart it every day.

    Sorry I'm quite new to VBA/macros, but thank you for your help in advance,

    Best regards,

    David

    I do not know how other people solve this, I done this as below.

    - Create VBS file like below:

    edit red according to your path and names

    - set in windows Task Scheduler that this VBS file have to be run every 24 hours.

    And that's all. Works for me.

    Re: Start Macros every 24 hours

    The following macro is used to 'auto save' the workbook each day at 10 seconds past midnight.
    The time can be changed for your purposes ... save 9:30 am ? by editing the time value :

    Application.OnTime TimeValue("09:30:00"), "sveWrkBk"


    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Change 'sveWrkBk' to the name of your refresh macro and include your refresh macro separate from
    this macro.

    Look at the attached workbook in the ThisWorkbook module and you will find the following macro that auto
    runs the sveWrkBk macro when the workbook is first opened for the day ...

    Why not just 'autostart' it at the workbook opening ?

    Re: Start Macros every 24 hours

    Thank you very much for your help!
    I was able to solve the problem with your inputs

    @Marc L: The problem is that I dont want to start the macro every time I open the workbook (its permanently open), but just to start it every day (at e.g. 12 o'clock)
