[Calc] Coundown Timer
Posted: Sat May 14, 2016 5:20 pm
This is a working Timer for Calc, that counts down in seconds.
Note that the Initial Time and the displayed countdown are in cell M10; this can be changed to suit users preference, but note there are TWO points in the code to change:
Firstly the "m10" in line 5 and secondly, the "12,9" in line 22.
