Pausing or delaying VBA using Wait, Sleep or a loop

You may want some way of pausing or delaying VBA code execution and you can do this with two functions called Wait and Sleep. You can also do this using a loop, and we will look at that approach too.

Why would you pause the code? Maybe you need to wait for another task to finish, for instance if you made a call to a Windows API/shell function. Or you may want to wait for the user to update data in the sheet, or you just want to run a macro at a set time.
