This is ever x ammount of seconds to gather data.  OA is the variable thats going up.  AA starts of = 0. AB is the final number.  But it doesnt seem to work. aa += 1
If (aa = 0) Then
ab = oa
End If
If (aa = 5) Then
Label7.Text = (oa - ab) / aa
aa = 0
End If

Ohh sorry.  I didint know what the Check mark did.   By the way instead of aa = 0 it should be aa = -1.

Just subtract the initial value from the final value and divide by the number of minutes — (final – initial)/minutes — but it’s hard to be specific without seeing your definitions. — Tom

The code is not sufficient. Clearly, aa has (1) added to it, but it’s not clear how it ever gets a value greater than (1). Is there a loop or an event that invokes this code? How is the time duration determined? Is this code called once every minute? I see that (ab = oa) when (aa = 0), but I don’t see any way for aa ever to have the value (0). Enough code must be shown so that the structure is visible. — Tom
