excel - Make a cell scroll/marquee text right to left? -


i have cell m2 in excel contains large amount of text. trying figure out way of making text scroll right left continuously.

i have done lot of looking on web can find codes don't make sense me , want try , make simple possible. please show me simple way of getting want.

sub startmarquee() dim smarquee string dim iposition integer  smarquee = "this scrolling marquee"  me .tbmarquee .text = ""  iposition = 1 len(smarquee) .text = .text & mid(smarquee, iposition, 1) application.wait timeserial(hour(now()), minute(now()), second(now()) + 1) next iposition end end  'beep 'application.ontime + timeserial(hour(now()), minute(now()), second(now()) + 2), "startmarquee" end sub 

while done inside of loop in subroutine, entire application going locked while loop executing, make extremely unhelpful.

instead think of 1 run of subroutine single iteration. when sub runs want detect in message marquee @ in cell m13, , push message 1 more character. application.ontime deal schedule subroutine next iteration.

sub domarquee()     dim smarquee string     dim iwidth integer     dim iposition integer     dim rcell range     dim icurpos integer      'set message displayed in cell     smarquee = "this scrolling marquee."      'set cell width (how many characters want displayed @ once     iwidth = 10      'which cell doing in?     set rcell = sheet1.range("m2")      'determine message.     '   instr return position of first     '   character current cell value in     '   marquee message     icurpos = instr(1, smarquee, rcell.value)      'if position 0, there no message, start on     '   otherwise, bump message next characterusing mid     if icurpos = 0         'start on         rcell.value = mid(smarquee, 1, iwidth)     else         'bump         rcell.value = mid(smarquee, icurpos + 1, iwidth)     end if      'set excel run thing again in second or 2 or whatever     application.ontime + timevalue("00:00:01"), "domarquee" end sub 

put new module, in vbe workbook , run it. if want stop comment out last line application.ontime...

this whole subroutine run in flash, user of workbook shouldn't see running each second bump marquee next character.
