    Pause Between Two Macro Sub Routines

    I have a macro which calls two other macros. What I was trying to achieve is to run first macro, pause a second or two and be able to see the result of the first macro, then run the second macro.

    The problem is that when I use any of the pause methods I found online, it still produces results of both macros at the same time.

    Is it possible to achieve?

    Why don't you just call it in separate routines? If you really want to pause and look at the sheet, then shouldn't it just STOP instead of PAUSE

    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve

    Ok, I will explain it again.

    There is a macro which is called CallAll() where I call 10 other macros.

    I have also implemented 'traffic lights' alerts to notify the end user when the macro runs, it changes from red to green.

    What I was hoping to achieve is that when the end user runs the CallAll macro, the traffic lights (which I positioned against the button for each macro) will be changing from red to green, one by one, to make it looks nice. Unfortunately, when I imlpement any of the online solutions, all lights switch from red to green at once.

    How do I make them to switch one by one?

    Sub CallAll()

    Call Macro1
    traffic light1 goes from red to green
    once sec delay
    Call Macro 2
    traffic light2 goes from red to green
    once sec delay
    ..........

    Change of the color of traffic ligths is implemented in each individual macro.
