Automatic emailing and schedule?

Hi
in my workspace we use an excel worksheet shared between 5 users, this is used to track times of testing to test various products using various test suites, during certain times tests are assigned to users by comments being attached to the date of the test combination using our initials.

I know that you can set emails from specific cell values but can you set emails to be sent from comments? and if so would it be possible to further condition it so if initials AA are commented that it would send emails to AA@email.com but if initials BB then the cell would be emailed to BB@email.com?

and finally, if this is all possible would I be able to apply a schedule so that all these cells commented with initials will send the emails to the users only at a specific time?

any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Kaidan Baird

Hi Kaidan,

Thank you for the forum question.

You can do what you want but it needs to be coded. VBA can probably do it or may be power automate.

I do not know if you have any coding knowledge. You will not find any standard tools which can handle what you want.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Calculate difference between two times

For presenting the result in the standard time format (hours : minutes : seconds . Use the subtraction operator (-) to find the difference between times, and the TEXT function to format the returned value to text in a specific number format.

Hours never exceed 24, minutes never exceed 60, and seconds never exceed 60.

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h")
Hours between two times (4)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm")
Hours and minutes between two times (4:55)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm:ss")
Hours and seconds between two times (4:55:00)

Where B2 and A2 must hold the end time and start time respectively formatted as a time format
