Stop Start Timer

[ghorne]

Good afternoon, could someone assist me in creating a timer. I have a form that I created and use and column I contained yes,no and n/a answers. What I would like to measure how long it takes someone to complete a review. So the timer would start when cell i9 is selected with a yes, no or n/a and the timer stops when cell i35 is selected with a yes, no or n/a.
The timer will need to be displayed on a hidden tab that only I can view.. Thanks

See if something like this works for you. It doesn't use a timer, but simply saves the actual times when I9 and I35 contain yes, no or n/a and puts the time difference in A1 of the "Time" sheet.

Put this code in the sheet module of the sheet containing the I9 cell.

Dim startTime As Date
Dim endTime As Date

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
        
    If Target.Address = "$I$9" And InStr(1, ",yes,no,n/a,", "," & Target.Value & ",", vbTextCompare) Then
        startTime = Now
    ElseIf Target.Address = "$I$35" And InStr(1, ",yes,no,n/a,", "," & Target.Value & ",", vbTextCompare) Then
        endTime = Now
        Worksheets("Time").Range("A1").Value = Format(endTime - startTime, "HH:MM:SS")
    End If
        
End Sub
