The guide to "Excel VBA: Automatically Run Excel Macros When a Cell Changes/Enter Data. Worksheet Change Event" was helpful in getting me started, but I couldn't do what I wanted. Here is what I want: When I type in data to a cell and press enter, I want a previously created macro to run.

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
something like this?
[vba]
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Me.test
End SubSub test()
MsgBox "Yep!"
End Sub[/vba] -
Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
I'm a little slow... I need it spelled out.
When I put "14" in cell C5 I want my macro named "fourteen" to run -
Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
[vba]
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target.Cells(1, 1)
If .Address(0, 0) <> "C5" Then Exit Sub
If .Value <> 14 Then Exit Sub
fourteen ' assuming the subroutine is in standatd module
End With
End Sub[/vba] -

GREAT! Exactly what I wanted! (I would have replied sooner, but my window didn't pop up)
THANK YOU! -

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
Also, would I be able to run a different macro from this same cell if say the number 16 were entered?

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
use Select case statement
[vba]
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target.Cells(1, 1)
If .Address(0, 0) <> "C5" Then Exit Sub
Select Case .Value
Case 14
fourteen
Case 15
fifteen
Case 16
sixteen
End Select
End With
End Sub[/vba] -
Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
So, if I'm understanding this right, 14 could run my fourteen macro, 15 could run my fifteen macro and so on...

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
whatever the macro you named...

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
Sorry, another question. Will the last one you gave me work by itself or do I need to add it to the one before?

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
You need to replace the code

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
Thanks for your help - how long do these posts stay online so I can refer back to them or should I copy the codes so I can refer to them. Where do I copy them to?

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
Can this be used to monitor changes to a named range, and run a macro if it changes?
Here's what I have, and it's not working.
In the "ThisWorkbook" module:
CodePrivate Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) With Target.Cells(1, 1) If .Address(0, 0) <> "BudgetDollars" Then Exit Sub Call ConstructionHours End With End Sub
And in a normal module:
I don't see the "Hello" when I make a change to the named range BudgetDollars.

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
Hi,
I just tried your code and it still doesn't seem to be working. Nothing happens when I change that cell.Is it right to put the code you just provided in ThisWorkbook? Do I need any other code anywhere, besides the ConstructionHours sub code in a user module?
As for starting a new thread, I searched for threads on this problem, found this one, tried out the code that was posted, and had a question about a modified version of that code. In cases like that, I generally post within the original topic for the sake of keeping forums organized. Seems to make more sense to me. If I started a new thread, I'd want to link back to the original anyway to explain where I got the code. Does OzGrid have a rule about situations like that?
Thanks.

Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
In your code, should I be passing in some value or range?
If not, then shouldn't the following give me a MsgBox if I make any change?
Because it's not giving me anything right now. -
Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
The code should go in the worksheet module.
-
Re: Simplified direction to Automatically run Macros when a cell changes
I must be missing something here. I don't see a Worksheet module. Where should this be located? I see ThisWorkbook, lumped in with the sheets in the workbook, then seperately, the user modules.
I'm using Excel 2000. Is this a newer feature you're talking about? -
