Default Basic question

Sorry, I thought from your original posting that you had tried the event
route and wanted a different route. I think Jim has got you sorted now.

Regards

Bob

From the last time I posted I found the on change event and thought that
might be the answer but the code Bob supplied does not work when I add it

to
the on change event.

That is an on demand macro that the user would have to run on their own.

You
could use the On Change event from Sheet 2 if you needed it to be

automatic.

Thanks for the reply... So, would the user have to run the macro

manually or
does excel know to run this on its own?

Sub myMacro()
If Worksheet("Sheet2").cells(12,3) = "N" Then
Worksheet("Sheet3").cells(3,2) = "Sold Out"
ElseIf Worksheet("Sheet2").cells(12,3) = "Y" Then
Worksheet("Sheet3").Visible = False
End If
End Sub

This would be an on-demand macro, stored in a standard code module.

I have a very basic question but I can't seem to find the answer

on here
(probably to basic). I have a spreadsheet that I would like to

perform all
of
my calculations / If / Then statements using VBA but I'm not sure

how to
actually get the code to run or where to put it to run... I can

get all of
the code to run with an on click event or something like that but
basically
I'd like cells to automatically fill in other cells based on

values the
users
put in them. For example:

If sheet2!.cells(12,3) = "N" Then

Sheet3!.cells(3,2) = "Sold Out"

or

If sheet2!.cells(12,3) = "Y" Then

Sheet3!.Visible = False

I'll keep searching for the answers to this question but if

someone could
shoot me a quick answer I would appreciate it.
