I have a macro which...ideally....would be good if it was actioned as soon as the user has pasted the data over

They are required to paste special values into cell B1

Once thats done I wondered if the macro could then be triggered

Everything seems to take place (from what I can see) as soon as you select B1...ie the macro seems to be starting to soon.

Anyone any ideas please
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I don't think there are any mechanisms in Excel that can capture the copy + paste event.

I'm not too sure but perhaps you could make use of
Target Range from Worksheet_Change() event?
but it wouldn't recognize 'paste special'
