    Recording contents of cells into multiple columns

    Hi all, I was given this answer by Tony H to my question about recording the contents of a cell which is linked to an IP address every 15 minutes into a column and it works. I would now like to record 12 different IP addresses into columns for Temperature and Humidity of Data halls but I'm stuck. Can anyone help please.
    Code:
    Sub GetData()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim i As Long
    Dim dte As Date
    Dim dteNext As Date

    dte = Now
    Set rng = activesheet.Range("E1")
    For i = 1 To 3 'change this to number of time to loop
    ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll
    DoEvents
    Set rng = rng.Offset(1)
    rng = Now
    rng.Offset(, 1) = activesheet.Range("B3")
    dteNext = dte + TimeSerial(Hour:=0, Minute:=1 * i, Second:=0) 'change this value to number of minutes
    Application.Wait dteNext
    Next
    MsgBox "done"
    End Sub
    Code:

    A note on Forum Rules: when posting code you must use code tage. That is you start your code with (but without the space) [co de] and end with [/co de]

    I presume you have set up the links as before. I have added in a couple of example lines. It stores all the values in adjacent columns

    tony h. Thanks for your help and the solution you gave me seems to work returning all 12 temperature and humidity readings from the IP addresses of the building management system into adjacent boxes that I can then colour code for in or out of limits, but the Excel sheet seems to lock up so that as soon as I run the Macro you gave me the numbers returned by the IP addresses freeze and I get row after row of the same readings instead of dynamic readings until the Macro has completed. Do you have any Ideas whats causing this and how to overcome it. Thanks.

    Ok, I have had a bit of a look and I think the code below should do the job.
    What you do need to do is make sure that the connection is set with the "enable background refresh" to "off" ie un-ticked.
    : on the data tab ... go to connections ... existing connections and pick properties

    Thanks tony h for your huge effort to help. I am now off work until friday due to my shift pattern and so wont be able to try out your new code until then. As you can tell I am no programmer but will let you know how it goes over the weekend.

    Re: Recording contents of cells into multiple columns

    I would like to thank tony h for supplying this answer to my problem. I am now able to record all my data from the building management system IP addresses onto one excel sheet. I just have one last request if anyone can help, I would like to be able to type in comments on the same sheet when the returned data is out of limits, but when I do this the macro stops working and I have to restart it. Does anyone know a way of getting around this problem. Thanks
