calling a macro from a cell formula

[viper]

I have a worksheet that is hidden when activatated and asks for a password before viewing. I wanted it to ascend the cells each time is was deactivated, but couldn't get that to work so I added a command button for the user to click to ascend the cells in the event of new entries. That worked fine but now the sheet will not hide(error message saying cannot hide), is this due to the command button being added? If so is their any property adjustments I need to do to the command button so that it will hide(I'm assuming that is the reason the page doesn't hide because the button won't hide)? Or any code adjustment I need to make? As far as calling a macro, I have a cell that I have thought about using to replace the command button. If the user enters the word "ascend" into the cell it will call the macro I used for the command button. But I can't figure out how to call a macro from a cells formula. Any help?

Thanks,

I don't think it's the command button that's causing your sheet not to be hidden. If it's not the only sheet in the workbook then you *should* be able to hide it, but without seeing your workbook and code, I couldn't say for sure.

As for the second question, add this code to your worksheet- it'll run the procedure called 'YourMacro' anytime anyone enters 'ascend' into cell A1 (case-insensitive, change as necessary for the name of your macro and the cell you want to run it from): -

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address <> "$A$1" Then Exit Sub
If UCase(Target.Value) = "ASCEND" Then Call YourMacro

End Sub

Worked great!
