Countdown of Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds

[Chris Waller]

Hi All,



I am trying to help a colleague and unfortunatley everything I try is coming up against a brick wall.

We are trying to create a slide in PowerPoint that will count down the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds between the current date/time and a date/time in the future (Feb18th 12:06pm) This is subject to change. We are using Office 2016 or MS office 365, however, I notice that the companies policy does not allow downloading anything from the internet also there are no add-ins available. Is it possible that this could be done using VBA? Any help would be gratley appreciated.

TIA

John,

Thanks for your response. I have copied the code to PowerPoint and this does indeed display the weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds.

I only have to get it to automatically update now then I'm OK

Thanks for your help

If you copied all of the code make sure you added the onSlideShowPage Change code and the command button it specifies. Then just set ,the pres to loop every 1 second
