Hi

I want to run some VBA when a cell equals a certain value, for e.g. A1 = 1.

I've looked around the net and found code examples using but can't get it to work

All help appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Sorry that was meant to say I've looked around the net and found code examples using Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) but can't get it to work

Try
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then End
If Target = Range("A1") And Range("A1") = "1" Then
    'code you want to run here

End If
 
End Sub

Tried this and nothing happens. Not sure the code is running - I put a break point in but it never reached it

the code need to be on the sheet. right click sheet name - view code, then paste code in.

Many thanks

That now works except that it runs whenever I enter 1 anywhere on the sheet and not just in A1

@ken1921:

In the worksheet's module, try:
Rich (BB code):
Option Explicit
  
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  
  If Target.Count + Target.Column + Target.Row = 3 And Me.Range("A1").Value = 1 Then
    MsgBox "Code you want to run here or a call to a procedure with the code..."
  End If
  
End Sub
Hope that helps.
@Scott T:

I would respectfully recommend against using the End Statement like that. A simple Exit Sub would suffice without destroying variables values, etc.
