Some people have asked me to create an in-play progress bar indicator, or some sort of in-play trader interface, in Cymatic. This is something that I hope to do eventually, but it is unlikely to be very soon.
So I just thought I'd explain how you can probably do it yourselves in Excel!
The HorseFrontRunner sample spreadsheet has a sheet called Info, which shows you how to calculate the predicted race duration:

You can then simply compare the predicted race duration with the actual race duration (from the countdown timer), to calculate the % of the race that has been completed.
The % completed can then either be displayed in Excel as a simple %, or use a progress bar (such as a GrooveProgressBar), or a slider, to display it visually. These visual controls can be found in the Excel ribbon within the section Developer | Insert | Active X Controls | More Controls.
If anyone has a go at it and feels like sharing the outcome, please post it here, it would be interesting to see.
Best wishes,
Gavin
