I have a file with a macro that I want to run every time I open the file. Can someone please let me know what code I need to put for this to happen.

Thanks so much

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Put this code in the Workbook open area.

Application.Run "Workbook name.xls'!Macro Name"

I hope this helps

hello Andrea and welcome,

go the vba editor by pressing alt-f11
go to project explorer
Double click Thisworkbook from VB Editor and put the
following code

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
put your macro here

End Sub

It will work.

Hi Andrea,

Welcome to the board. :)


You need to call your macro from the Workbook_Open event. Go to the VBE and select the ThisWorkbook object for the workbook containing your chosen macro. Then enter something like this:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'
Call MyMacro
'
End Sub

How do you do this in Excel 2000? I don't find an Open event in the Workbook. There is an Activate, but it doesn't seem to fire when you first invoke Excel.

do an Alt + F11. then on the left, select "This workbook" Then open the General window, workbook, then open the Declaarations and you will find the workbook open
