Forgot to mention to format ColA and ColB to display time in date+time in
hh:mm:ss or otherwise the default one would be hh:mm.
I have modified the code as below to reflect the number of seconds between
start and stop in Col C..Test and feedback
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
lngCol = IIf(CommandButton1.Caption = "Stop", 2, 1)
lngRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, lngCol).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Cells(lngRow, lngCol) = Now()
If lngCol = 2 Then Cells(lngRow, 3) = _
DateDiff("s", CDate(Cells(lngRow, 1)), Cells(lngRow, 2))
CommandButton1.Caption = IIf(CommandButton1.Caption = "Stop", "Start", "Stop")
End Sub
If this post helps click Yes
