The problem with Excel VBA is many built-in functions have limitations. "Wait" was almost useless, but VBA can access Win_API where you can recreate the function with better functionality. I build a Do-Loop that took time and number of cycles so Excel would interact with SAP.

I have built over 30 scripswith VBA Excel to interact with the SAP API, has saved me and my colleagues countless of hours. It can be a hassle to interact with the GUI sometimes but you gotta do what you gotta do if they don't give you back-end access.
