I’ve got a macro which sorts a few cells.
What bit of code can I add to make the macro run automatically every 30 minutes.

You should use the Application.OnTime event. Have a look at this thread
Hi
I was playing around and with some help got this working
Sub trapTime()
Static myTime As Variant
myTime = CurrentTimePlus(0, 1)
Application.OnTime earliestTime:=TimeValue(myTime), procedure:=”PublishGraphs”
End Sub
Function CurrentTimePlus(intHours As Integer, intMinutes As Integer) As String
CurrentTimePlus = Format(TimeSerial(Hour(Now) + intHours, Minute(Now) + intMinutes, _
Second(Now)), “hh:mm”)
End Function
Sub PublishGraphs()
MsgBox (“Eureka”)
trapTime
End Sub
Sub CanceltrapTime()
Static myTime As Variant
myTime = CurrentTimePlus(0, 1)
Application.OnTime earliestTime:=TimeValue(myTime), procedure:=”PublishGraphs”, schedule:=False
End Sub
———————-
Hope it helps.
