Counting how many times a cell is changed to a certain value using a formula and not cell selection.

Hello Everyone
First of all i want to thank the community for all the help you guys have given me indirectly. I usually browse around for hours looking for an answer that suits my needs instead of creating a new thread, but this time I am pretty lost.

Basically I am going to use a hand held scanner to input data into one cell (B1) in a spreadsheet. The data is going to be composed of natural numbers(no fractions/negatives).
I wrote a formula [=IF(C3=$B$1,"X"," ")] in the "B" row(B3:B650) that checks weather the adjacent number in the "C" row(C3:C650) matches the value of the (B1) cell. If it does, then it returns an "X". If it doesn't then it returns a blank value.

ABCDE
1SCANNER INPUT
2COUNTERSCANNEDNUMBER
3=IF(C3=$B$1,"X"," ")10
4=IF(C4=$B$1,"X"," ")11
5=IF(C5=$B$1,"X"," ")12
6=IF(C6=$B$1,"X"," ")13
7=IF(C7=$B$1,"X"," ")14

I have been using the following code which i found in another thread:

--------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

' value to look for ... if a changed cell contains KEY then +1 the corresponding row in offset column
Const KEY = "X"
' user input is col C... we want to change corresponding row in F therefore col offset is 3
Const COL_OFFSET = -1

Dim userInputRng As Range: Set userInputRng = Me.Range("B3:B650")
Dim inputTest As Range: Set inputTest = Intersect(Target, userInputRng)

If inputTest Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

If UCase(Target.Value) = UCase(KEY) Then Target.Offset(0, COL_OFFSET).Value = Target.Offset(0, COL_OFFSET).Value + 1

End Sub
----------------------------


The problem is that the code only executes the counting whenever i select the cell and either type an "X" in it or if it already has "X" and i press enter. I want the code to do the counting if the cell is modified by the formula in the "B" column.
ie. If i scan an 11 into B2, and thus B4 goes through its "=IF" formula and returns an "X" value, i want the counter in A4 to increase.
I hope I have made myself clear.

Thanks in advance!
