Excel VBA - How to Run Macro when Cell Changes

In this video we look at how we can trigger a macro to run when a defined cell, range or entire sheet is updated.

To achieve this we use an existing change event in Excel "Worksheet_Change()" that by default will auto trigger when the sheet it is applied is updated. We also have the ability to define a range so that this even only triggers if one of the cells in our desired range is updated.

If you have any question, please leave a comment below and I will respond soon as possible 🙂

Don't understand why people dislike the video, to me it helped exactly with the question I had and its not overly long. So thank you.

Thank you for explaining this. The change event is so important. Really looking forward to your next video on this topic. Do u offer online VBA courses?
I was writing a change event code and learned that I have to define the target first then in another if I would specify the range

I would like to capture the before and after values of a sheet name just after it is renamed and update the previous cells with the before name to the new one.

Can we use this method in personal xlsb?

Will this work if you have a goal seek result changed from the button, were as the result isn't clicked on the cell?

How to make it happen ONLY if the cell that changes has a specific text? I mean that other cell in that range might already have that same text. So I want to trigger the Macro only if a cell's value (let's call it a new cell) has changed to this specific text.

Excel cannot find the macro whenever I populate in between the parentheses of Worksheet_Change(). It only recognizes it if I take out the "ByVal Target as Range" but then it won't run automatically, What can I do?

[reinaldotorres]

How do you make it so that the macro's execution happens when a formula result changes instead of the value?

I can't see the coding properly it is very small.I think you should zoom your screen a bit.
