Hi

Sheet 'Daily Tracking' Cell CG375 contains a value, currently 27851 and is increasing.

What I'd be really grateful for is a message box that is triggered when I open the workbook if/whenever the value in Sheet 'Daily Tracking' Cell CG375 is within 100 of the next 1000 i.e. it will next trigger between 27900 and 28000. It will then trigger between 28900 and 29000 and so on and in each case it calculates the difference between the two values.

e.g. for 27900 the message would be "100 miles to go until you hit 28,000 miles".

Also, if possible, when the value is equal to or greater than the 1000 by up to 10 e.g. 28000 - 28010 a different message is triggered e.g. "Congratulations, you have now run over 28,000 miles"

I'd also appreciate it if the value could be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Many thanks!

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Hi hrayani, I have just opened my workbook and I got the message "89 miles to go until you reach 89" :(

Would you be able to locate the error please?

Thanks again!

What is currently in CG375...or "milessince1981"

Hi Michael, it's a sum formula =SUM(B375:CC375).

The value is currently 27,878 and I assumed all was well until I unknowingly tested it in another situation with an increased value that triggered the message as above.

If the current value is 27,878, it shouldn't trigger the msgboxes
It only triggers if the value is 27901 to 28010...works fine for me

Sure, but it triggered when I inadvertently increased the value and that's when I saw it wasn't working as it should.

What was the inadvertent value ??
How did you increase the value, as the code provided will only work when the workbook is opened NOT when a vlaue changes after open

I understand. I just increased the value to 27,900, saved and closed, then re-opened. Then this msg: "100 miles to go until you hit 100".

In that case I'm guessing the "Daily Treacking" sheet isn't the active sheet at workbook_open?
Try this code instead
VBA Code:
Dim A As Integer
A = Sheets("Daily Tracking").Range("CG375").Value Mod 1000
If 1000 - A <= 100 Then MsgBox 1000 - A & " miles to go until you hit " & Sheets("Daily Tracking").Range("CG375").Value + 1000 - A
If A > 0 And A <= 10 Then MsgBox "Congratulations! You have now run over " & Sheets("Daily Tracking").Range("CG375").Value - A & " miles"
