I have a macro which does everything I want except for a minor issue

The macro starts with this

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As range)

Which I know will activate the things I need to once a cell change happenns and this all works fine but at the end of the macro I need it to change something without a cell change happening.

How could I get around this please ?

Please let me know If I need to provide more info

Thank you

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
try disabling events:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As range)
application.enableevents = false

'do something to some cell
application.enableevents = true
end sub
