I am trying to get a live clock appearing in cell B2 of Sheet 1.

This is what I have as my Module 1, but it isn't working ... I need it to activate the moment the workbook is opened.

VBA Code:
Dim SchedRecalc As Date

Sub Recalc()

With Sheet1.Range("B2")

.Value = Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss AM/PM")

End With

Call SetTime

End Sub

Sub SetTime()

SchedRecalc = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")

Application.OnTime SchedRecalc, "Recalc"

End Sub

Sub Disable()

On Error Resume Next

Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=SchedRecalc, Procedure:="Recalc", Schedule:=False

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Try the following:

In the events of thisworkbook put this:

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
  Call Recalc
End Sub
ThisWorkbook EVENT
- Open the VB Editor (press Alt + F11).
- Over in the Project Explorer, double click on ThisWorkbook.
- In the white panel that then appears, paste the above code.


In a module:
VBA Code:
Dim SchedRecalc As Date

Sub Recalc()
  Application.Volatile
  With Sheet1.Range("B2")
    .Value = Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss AM/PM")
  End With
  SchedRecalc = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
  Application.OnTime SchedRecalc, "Recalc"
End Sub

Sub Disable()
  On Error Resume Next
  Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=SchedRecalc, Procedure:="Recalc", Schedule:=False
End Sub

On the sheet you should have a button that runs the Disable macro to stop the clock.
