extract data from a realtime updated cell

[Guest]

hey how's everything? i've got a spreadsheet that is linked to reuters
Xtra3000 and gets updated every 10s. my goal is to copy the value from a
specific cell and paste it on some other cell. then after 10s repeat it,
copying the same cell, but pasting it on a different one so i can come up
with a series of values.
afterwards i'd like to plot a chart based on the copied range of cells that
gets updated as we go.
can someone point out what should i be doing?
thanks in adv,
Miguel

Have you looked at either the Worksheet_Change event or the
Worksheet_Calculate event?

that's not how i want to do it- cheers anyway.
i need to update every 10sec and if i'm to track changes i can only track in
a 5min interval. the mean time is quite important since this refers to stock
quotes and it does matter for a technical analyst
can i do it using macros? i'm not familiar with any commands, but it would
be a very simple macro: a cycle that copies a cell's value every ten secs and
causes one other cell to assume that value. then after 10s the clycle reruns
copying the same cell to the cell bellow the first copied one. maybe 2 cycles
then, i guess.
can you draw a simple macro structure? i'll learn more about it, after.

t.i.a.,
Miguel

Those events should fire when the worksheet updates.
