Make Excel VBA Pause

Sometimes when running a macro you need to make sure Excel has had time to do something before progressing.

This is typically in large models were it can take time (a few seconds) to do a specific task eg removing a filter or updating an external data source.

You can pause a macro to allow Excel to do something by using the Wait command.

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))

The above code will pause the macro for 2 seconds.
