Visual Basic :: Trigger Macro On Change Of Linked Cell

How To Trigger An Event Depending On A Linked Cell
I have the following problem

Im using 3 pivot tables
The first pivot table (PT1) is in a worksheet named "S1"
The Second (PT2) and Third pivot table (PT3) are in a worksheet named "S2"

When im refreshing the PT1 in "S1" changes the
value of PT2's page in "S2".
This pivot table's value (PT2) updates a cell.
So, i want each time the specific cell is updating with the PT2 value to trigger a refresh to another pivot table (PT3) in the same worksheet "S2".

Be more specific.
Worksheet "S1"
refresh the PT1 and also refreshes the PT2 on worksheet "S2"
Worksheet "S2"
The cell F14 depends on pivot table's PT2 cell value (B2) by using the formula (=B2) in the cell F14.

So, if the pivot table PT2 value = 1 then the cell's value will be 1
if the pivot table PT2 value = 12 then the cell's value will be 12.
I want to trigger an event each time the cell's value changes to refresh the table PT3.

I try something but it doesnt work
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim MonitorCell As Variant

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MonitorCell = Cells(14, 6) ' f14 cell
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Cells(14, 6) <> MonitorCell Then
RefreshWrc
MonitorCell = Cells(14, 6)
End If
End Sub

-----under Module---------------------------------------

Sub RefreshWrc()
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PT3").RefreshTable
End Sub

Event Trigger By Cell Change On Another Sheet?

I need to rename sheet by a cell change on another sheet. this is the code i've used to change the name on the same sheet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
  On Error GoTo errHndlr
  If Target.Address = Range("W37").Address Then ActiveSheet.Name = Target.Value
  Exit Sub
errHndlr:
  Application.Undo
  MsgBox "No good tab name."
End Sub

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the event below may produce the result I need, how do i define the cell That should be used for the sheet name and alter the code above to change the sheet name?

Run A Macro On Cell Change
New at this but reasonably competent and have searched various threads & sites for 2 days and have it working but not in the proper fashion.

Using:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
' Look to see if Value in Cell 1,1 changes from 0
If Target.Value >= 1 Then
' Call the Macro contained in Module1
Call UpdateSPCResults
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

End Sub

Works great if you actualy type into the cell and press Enter. The problem is that $A$1 is populated via a DDE Poke from another app based upon an event within that app and it appears that the Worksheet_Change object is blind to that type of change.

When I manually change the contents of $A$1 my macro fires fine and pulls a ton of info from the app that feeds $A$1 - just as I need it.

Have a bridge around it using a macro that just fires every 15 seconds to see if there is a change but it really is a waste of resources - and not the right way to do it.

Thoughts, direction, suggestions? Willing to do the work just don't know where else to look. Thanks

Run Macro On Specific Cell Change
Is there a way to have a VB Macro run when a specific cell changes value ? I am able to have a macro run when a "sheet data change" takes place, but do not know how to isolate a specific cell to be watched, while ignoring any other changes to the sheet.

Thanks in advance for any help !!!

Run A Macro Based On Cell Change
Hello
I am trying to automate the write dde object based on cell change vs. doing it with a button that runs the macro to write dde object. what happens when I run the following code is nothing, no error, no message. As you can see I am using a message prompt to verify something is happening instead of running the ddepoke command.

this is in sheet 1 and in previous attempts I have used If with Else If and End If, as well as Select commands. those would at least error out telling me that "something" was happening now there is truly nothing happening.

Thanks in advance for any input that can be offered.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim KeyCells As Range

' The variable KeyCells contains the cells that will
' cause a action when they are changed.
Set KeyCells = Range("$D$2:$D$4")

If Not Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(Target.Address)) _
Is Nothing Then
End If

If Target.Address = ("d2") Then _
'isosp = DDEInitiate("rslinx", "AdjTankPSI")
'DDEPoke isosp, "N84:250", Cells(2, 4)
'DDETerminate isosp
MsgBox "you just adjusted iso tank" & Target.Address & " has changed."

ElseIf Target.Address = ("d3") Then _
'poly1sp = DDEInitiate("rslinx", "AdjTankPSI")
'DDEPoke poly1sp, "N84:251", Cells(3, 4)
'DDETerminate poly1sp
MsgBox "you just adjusted poly tank 1" & Target.Address & " has changed."

ElseIf Target.Address = ("d4") Then _
'poly2sp = DDEInitiate("rslinx", "AdjTankPSI")
'DDEPoke poly2sp, "N84:252", Cells(4, 4)
'DDETerminate poly2sp
MsgBox "you just adjusted poly tank 2" & Target.Address & " has changed."

End If
End Sub

Trigger An Action When Cell Changes
My VBA knowledge is intermedaite, I pretty much know how to program the macros I need. With this in mind can someone tell me how to have a macro run when the value with in a cell changes?

Another Cell Trigger Event
Sorry guys, I know there are a lot of posts on this one...but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I've put this together and it works fine:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Worksheet_Change Range("A1")
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

If Target.Address = Range("A1").Address Then
If Target.Value <= 0 Then
MsgBox "Hello"
End If
End If

End Sub
But I really need it to do a range of cells, say A2:A10. I've tried the obvious, change the range from A1 to A2:A10, but that didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. I'd appreciate any help at all!

Have a good day,

I have 2 questions:

1) Why is it the text inside a combobox placed on a worksheet
is gray and pale? and connot be resized or font
changabled?

2) It it a way in Excel to do something when a cell is in
focus? I want the user to put soemthing in a cell from a list i
will give him, to prevent typo. Then i will replace it in the
cell. The list (can be a combo box in a form), will be
generating every time the user cliked a specific cell in the

Thanks for any help.

Event Trigger When A Cell In The Spreadsheet Changes?
I have a big spreadsheet with a userform on top of it. There are several input parameters to the spreadsheet that the user changes via the userform, and then there are results cells on the spreadsheet that change based on the inputs. I want to display the results on the userform as they change in realtime with the parameter changes.

Is there some event procedure that gets triggered when a cell in the *spreadsheet* changes? Then whenever that triggers I could update the textbox value. I'm thinking to avoid using ControlSource on the textbox that displays the result value, because ControlSource overwrites the formula in the spreadsheet cell with the numeric value of the result. Kluz pointed out in this thread that I could hardcode the formula of the result cell into the VB code and re-overwrite it, but those formulas are likely to be changed in the spreadsheet in the future (by other people) so I'd like to avoid hardcoding that into the VB code.

Or is there some other way that I can display the value of that spreadsheet cell in realtime without overwriting it? Also, the formula has many inputs so if possible I want to avoid inserting a "textbox-update" sub call every time one of the input parameters is changed.

Thanks a lot for help,
Rina

Flexgrid, How Can Clicking On A Cell Trigger An Event?
I'm using MSFlexgrid in a project. I figured out a way to sort numeric data in ascending or descending order by clicking on command buttons at the top.

HOWEVER, I would like to click on an actual Flexgrid cell (which contains a business name) on the left and have specific data about that record (about the business) come up so it can be viewed -- maybe in a different screen/window etc?

Anyone have any ideas on how to use a mouse double click on a flexgrid cell to bring up additional specific information about that record?

Thank you for your help.

Trigger Pivot Chart Change Event
I have a pivot pie chart and I want to show the percentages around the chart. However, every time I change one of the page fields, the data labels disappear. I figured the easiest way to correct this would be to do some sort of change event so any time the chart is changed it would call a macro to add the labels in. I tried worksheet_change(), but that didn't do anything. Any advice?

Thanks!

Need Event Trigger On Display Resolution Change On The Fly...
I have a program where I need to trigger an event whenever the display resolution changes. I have all my code to do resizing fine, and the form_resize event works fine at startup, its just when the program is already running and the resolution changes, I would like for an event to be triggered so I can execute some code then.

The form_resize for some reason works sometimes when I am inside VB as an trigger when the display settings change, but when i run the exe, its hit or miss of when the form_resize triggers on display change, it will only reliably trigger on form size change.

Change Event Trigger At Wrong Time
I read a file and populate the textboxes with the values. When I do this, the Change event gets triggered, which I don't want. I want Change event to trigger when the user is changing the value in the textbox. Is their some built-in VB thing to set or do I need to declare a variable that the file is populating the fields and don't do anything with the code in the Change event. Thanks.

Cell Formula From A Macro
I'm trying to insert formulas into cells from a macro in the R1C1-style. I can get that to work, but now I would like to add in a variable to the formula, it appears to work fine in A1 notation. Something like this works...

Code:
Dim somer
Range("B28").Select
somer = ActiveCell.Address
Worksheets("Dataform").Range("A30").Formula = "=IF($A$28<" + (Range(somer).Address) + ",1,2)"
But when I modify it like this

Code:
Dim somer
Range("B28").Select
somer = ActiveCell.Address
Worksheets("Dataform").Range("A30").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(R28C1<" + (Range(somer).Address) + ",1,2)"
I get an error. I'm thinking it's due to how the cell address is being set in the variable but can't figure out how to do it correctly or if that's even the problem.
Help?

Excel: Using A Cell Value To Run A Macro
I've got a spreadsheet that is always open and watching live data from another program (WonderWare). I need to figure out how to use a cell value (which in this case is discreet, always a "1" or a "0") to run a macro. I have the macro written and it works, but it needs to run when the cell value changes. It only needs to run one time, but each time the value changes it needs to run.

any thoughts?
thanks

Change A Cell, Change The Worksheet
Is there a way to change a cell in Excel and have that make changes to a worksheet automatically??

For instance. If I type an "m" into cell A1, I want Rows 10-15 to be hidden, but if A1 is anything other than and "m" I want those row to be shown?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Change A Cell, Change The Worksheet
I posted this before, but in the wrong section, it was accidentally posted under Databases. Sorry if you're reading this twice.

Is there a way to change a cell in Excel and have that make changes to a worksheet automatically??

For instance. If I type an "m" into cell A1, I want Rows 10-15 to be hidden, but if A1 is anything other than and "m" I want those rows to be shown?

I got this code from a helpful poster, but was having trouble making it work:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Range("A1").Value = "m" Then
        Rows("10:15").Select
        Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
    Else
        Rows("10:15").Select
        Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
    End If
End Sub

When I pasted the code into the VBA editor, and tried to type an "m" into cell A1, nothing happened.
I thought maybe, I was missing some property or something. Can any one help?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Assign Macro When Cell Is Clicked
I have a range of cells (say A3:E3). If the user clicks on any of these I want to bring up an input box. I don't know if I should use Worksheet_Change since I don't want them to manually put anything in the cell, but have it activate just by selecting the cell. Is there any sort of worksheet_click event?

Also, if I use ByVal Target as Range (or something like that), how do I test for the range of A3:E3 rather than just one single cell?

Thanks!

Adding Cell Values In A Macro
I'm trying to add the values of two cells within a macro and then insert the sum into one of those cells.

Not sure what to use here.

I tired
Code:
Worksheets(strStation).Range(Cell7).Value = (SUM(Cell7:Cell8))
Where Cell7 and Cell8 are variables for the two cell locations I want to add together and then put the result in the Cell7 location. And that just gave me a compile error.

help anyone?

Looking Up A Cell And Changing The Contents In A Macro...
Hey all, hope you can help with this

OK, heres my problem:

Ive been making a Log in script in Excel using VB macros, and ive got as far as the user can register, log in, and it brings up his/her details like name, address, age etc. Now what im really stuck with is how to make it so the user can change their details. Basically what i need is the following, with my blanks filled in:

if Sheets(1).Range("cell with their name in") <> Sheets(1).Range("Cell with name stored in DB") Then

'the bit i dont know:

lookup their name in DB, and make it equal Sheets(1).Range"(cell with their name in")

End If

So the bit i dont know how to do is to make it so i lookup their name in the database (using something like a glorified vlookup, hope u can tell me what lol) and make that cell equal another cell of my choice...and this happens when one cell is not equal to another (when there name in DB is not equal to the name they change it to)

Any help will be greatly appretiated...ive been staring at it blankly for about an hour now *sigh*

Thanks,

From Macro Write Text To Cell
I'm using checkboxs on a form, calling it from a macro and then based on the choice a number gets written to a cell.

Looks like this.

Code:
If ChooseCCOutput1.cc1 = True Then
Worksheets("work").Cells(4, 2) = 8
Unload ChooseCCOutput1
ClosureAssign
End If

Here I'm putting the number 8 in the cell. In a different section I would like a text string to write to the cell instead based on a choice from a form. Just putting the text after = doesn't get it. Can someone tell me what I should do instead?

Thanks!

Execution Of Macro When Contents Of Cell Changed?
Hi,

i have a question regarding execution of macros. Can i execute a macro only when contents of one particular cell in a worksheet are changed?

I know that i can execute macro anytime when the contents of the whole worksheet are changed but i think that in my case it would wasteful, because i need to execute a macro only when the contents of one cell are changed!
