Hi all I hope you're well. I have tired everything I can think of to get my Excel sheet to automatically move to the next cell using triggers (without using auto next from the start); I wish to delay for 2 minutes and then automatically turn On Auto Next.

I thought the DataSourceAuto NextOn would do the trick but no matter what combination I place in the Data source box nothing works. I've followed the so called 'example' but this doesn't work either!

Could someone here please explain in simple English how to set up the correct Excel sheet , thanks in advance.

for the delay you can either do it manually (having a shortcut to turn the auto next feature on) when desired or with a script with a sleep command
DataSourceAutoNextOn

then the correct command is DataSourceNextRow

with excel make sure to use this syntax 'Excel/CSV,Sheet1' with no spaces and it is case sensitive

Code:
Sleep (20000)
API.Function("DataSourceAutoNextOn",Value:="Excel/CSV,Sheet1")  


Replace Excel/CSV with the name you gave in the datasource setup
Replace Sheet1 with the name of the sheet in your Excel File

Thank you gentleman, I noticed my error (hangs in shame), I put 9,000 instead of 2,000 no idea how I missed that, but the script idea is better so will implement that.

Still so much to learn in vMix.
