Hi I'm looking for a script that will prevent my laptop from sleeping and keep teams active. I also need instructions on how to install. Can anyone help me please?
 

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.

I think you can simply go to settings on your PC (Not Excel) and set your PC to Never instead of a time

I typically use something like this to keep the presence indicator active and the computer awake. Paste this into a module.
VBA Code:
Private NextTime As Date

Sub KeepAlive()
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select

Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 1, Now)
NextTime = DateAdd("s", 30, Now)

SendKeys ("{enter}")

Application.OnTime NextTime, "KeepAlive"

End Sub
Sub StopKeepAlive()
On Error Resume Next

Application.OnTime NextTime, "KeepAlive", , False
End Sub

Run 'KeepAlive' to start it. Important: after running the script, select a cell in your worksheet. Any cell will be fine.
To stop it, run 'StopKeepAlive'.
