    Count Down like a digital timer rather than by seconds

    Hello All,

    I have this code that shows in a worksheet a count down by seconds. I am having difficulty converting it show like a normal digital timer IE: 00:00:00

    Any thoughts ???

    You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.

    Alternatively, you could format the cell A1 as time use this.

    AlphaFrog,

    Next task I will tackle is to have the start button create a popup (userform) of the timer and have the start and end buttons on the userform..

    Regards,

    John

    Re: Count Down like a digital timer rather than by seconds

    Not sure if I should be adding this here. But I would like to continue this thread as I am basing my sheet on this timer.
    This is what I am trying to achieve.
    The above timer runs continuous 365 days a week. How ever I do want to introduce pauses at
    7:00am to 7:10am
    9:00am to 9:30am
    12:00pm to 12:30pm
    3:00pm to 3:10pm
    5:30pm to 5:45pm
    8:00pm to 8:30pm
    11:00pm to 11:10pm
    1:30am to 1:45am
    4:00am to 4:30am

    Re: Count Down like a digital timer rather than by seconds

    You want a countdown clock that starts at 386 days and counts down in 1 second intervals and pauses at the daily times outlined above in post #7? Is that correct?

    I want 60 min countdown timer say it starts at 7am and keeps looping. Now I want to try and pause it automatically at 9:15am and restart where it left off at 9:30am. I am uploading the excel sheet.
