Hello again.
I need a macro to be started after some time after event of selection change. If the event repeats before the timer has run off - the timer should be reset.
I've made this code but it doesn't reset time. Please help understand what is wrong.
Code:
Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.OnTime Endtime, "Other_Macro", , False
    Endtime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:05")
    Application.OnTime Endtime, "Other_Macro", , True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Anyone? Please help. Can't solve this problem. The time doesn't reset and I get Other_Macro executed after every selection change.

You need to store the Endtime value in a static or module level variable ... Something like this :

Code:
[COLOR=#ff0000][B]Private Endtime As Double[/B][/COLOR]

Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.OnTime Endtime, "Other_Macro", , False
    Endtime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:05")
    Application.OnTime Endtime, "Other_Macro", , True
End Sub
