LED Display Anyone?

MrIfOnly said:
Hi Kelly,

Yes, it is currently programmed to run up to 99.9 seconds, but you can modify the code as follows to allow for continuous running:

Replace:

Code: 
If sec2 = 10 Then Exit Sub

in the StartBtn click event code with:

Code: 
                If sec2 = 10 Then
                    msec = 0
                    sec = 0
                    sec2 = 0
                End If

Regards,

Still it stops after sometime of running. I ran it first for 27 seconds then stops and again 37 seconds then stops
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Kelly,

I haven't been able to duplicate your problem. Does the counter stop at those numbers consistently? Are you performing any other actions when it stops? Are you running any other workbooks?

Stay tuned...new and improved code to come. Maybe it will fix your issues.

The following code (pasted into and run from a standard module) will generate everything for you in a new worksheet with the option of setting the number of digits via an input box at runtime.

Code:

    digitCnt = InputBox("Enter number of digits to be generated.", Default:=3)
    If digitCnt = "" Then Exit Sub
    digitCnt = CInt(digitCnt)
Loop Until digitCnt > 0 And digitCnt < 8

Wow!!!! You are really doing a hard work!!!!. Can you send this one to me, please??

I really like this LED and LCD display. But on my pc it always stops after sometime. When i ran this one first it took 1 minute 40 seconds then stops. I ran it again and had 1 min 49 seconds
 
I still can't duplicate this. I ran this on 2 different machines: WinXP running Excel 2010 and Win10 running Excel 2016. My laptop uses an AMD processor and I have noticed an intermittent lag when I move my mouse, but no stoppage. I was able to select cells in the sheet and move around using my arrow keys. The only time the counter stopped is when I typed something or clicked on a button in the ribbon. In fact, I was even able to play a rousing game of minesweeper while the counter continued to run.
