Run macro when any of the cells in range...


Posted by Nona Sloven on April 26, 2001 2:05 PM

Please help me with this:

I have a pivot table in Excel'97. In a number of rows above the pivot table I have a range D7:I9. I want to run a macro I have named "Refresh" automatically when any of the cells in the range mentioned changes. Please help.

Nona.

Nona:

I have belayed replying because I figured someone with more knowledge of this would have replied by now.

As a high-level logic, rewrite your VBA to run when the file is open. Have it continually monitor for changes in the cells you mentioned. then a refresh can take place.

Sorry, I am still in VBA infancy.

HI NONA

Try this right click on your page with the range and paste in the following.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim WatchRange As Range
Dim Rw As Long
Dim Cl As Long
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Set WatchRange = Range("D7:I9")
If Not Intersect(Target, WatchRange) Is Nothing Then


Application.Run "'My Program.a.xls'!Macro1"
End If
Set WatchRange = Nothing

'End If

End Sub

Change name and macro name to your names.

No objections, but.........


Steve, I believe I have helped you in the past many times! While I have no objection to others using my code or using it to help others, I do think you should at least acknowlege that it is my code.

Nona, my code that Steve suggested to you should be changed to the following.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Written by OzGrid Business Applications
'www.ozgrid.com

Dim WatchRange As Range

If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub

On Error Resume Next
Set WatchRange = Range("D7:I9")

If Not Intersect(Target, WatchRange) Is Nothing Then
Run "Refresh"
End If
Set WatchRange = Nothing

End Sub

Re: No objections, but.........

Hi Dave:

I feel confortable with your reply. It worked ok. Could you please now add an additional code to your coding so that my macro "Refresh" doesn't run when the cell B9 contains the phrase "Incorrect Values >>". Thank you in advance.

I keep fresh in mind that you helped me in the past too. Could you please now add an additional code to your coding so that my macro "Refresh" doesn't run when the cell B9 contains the phrase "Incorrect Values >>". Thank you in advance.

Pd: I´d also want to express my thanks to Kevin for his cooperation.

Nona, just add another Exit:


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Written by OzGrid Business Applications
'www.ozgrid.com

Dim WatchRange As Range


If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address = "$B$9" And _
Target = "Incorrect Values" Then Exit Sub

On Error Resume Next
Set WatchRange = Range("D7:I9")

If Not Intersect(Target, WatchRange) Is Nothing Then
Run "Refresh"
End If
Set WatchRange = Nothing

End Sub

Dave:

Thank you for your valuable help! I just one more time want to know how to get my macro "Refresh" also to run when I clear an entry in range D7:I9 and not only when I enter data on these cells.

Thank you a lot!

Nona : Hi Dave

If Not Intersect(Target, WatchRange) Is Nothing Then
