Hello, I have quick question please.

in function below, if I use 2000 for miliseconds byval, what exactly does the calculation / 24 / 60 / 60 / 1000? What 2000 means in this moment for vba? Is it number of days, hours?

Code:
Function waitTime(ByVal milliSeconds As Double)
    Application.Wait (Now() + milliSeconds / 24 / 60 / 60 / 1000)
End Function

Thank you,

brgds,
Tomas
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
excel store 1 day as 1, ie x24 hrs x 60 min x 60 seconds x 1000 to get the milliseconds

the function just reverse the process from milliseconds back to day
