    Excel 2002 (old but it works)

    I need to develop a macro that will increment a control cell by a set value between 0 and 360, usually in 24 deg increments. It will be continuous and cyclic, meaning at 360 it becomes 0 and continues around again, till I stop it.

    There are a set of cells that recalculate depending on the angle in the control cell, and that is graphed.

    It would be nice if I can change values in some cells while the macro is running.

    Any suggestions??

    Again, I need to re-ask the question, as the problem has become more immediate to me.
    The link above, while very interesting, does not relate to my question directly.

    How can I change cell values while a macro is running? The macro will loop continuously until a condition is met or I stop it.

    It would be very useful in general, but again, not specific to my present problem.
    It is a very good treatise on Excel functions, but not macros.

    Also the "free" PDF is missing about 1/2 the pages, and there is no indication of the cost of the download until you get into the process.
