I am trying to have 1 of 8 different macro's run depending on the value of a
specific cell.
If I enter 1 in cell A3, I would like macro1 to run. If I change cell A3 to
2, I would like macro2 to run and so on all the way up to entering 8 and
getting macro8 to run. I am unable to find any good examples of how to do
this. I realize I will probably have to use Worksheet Event to do this but
what is the macro code I will need.

Right click the sheet tab and select veiw code. Paste the following:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target
If .Address = "$A$3" Then
Select Case .Value
Case "A" 'Change A
Call macro1
Case "B" 'Change B
Call macro2
End Select

End If
End With
End Sub

Chang ethe A and B to the values that you want to trigger the macros. Add as
many different cases as you need.

Create a Worksheet Change macro and check the target position and value like
this.

If any cell but A3 is changed nothing get executed


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Row=3 and Target.Column=1 then
Select Case target.value
Case 1
Call macro1
Case 2
Call macro2
etc...
End Select
End If

End Sub

If this helps, please remember to click yes.

Ease of design depends on the actual names of the macros. Assuming they are
NOT really macro1 , macro2, etc then I suggest a select case macro something
like

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Or _
Target.Address < Range("a3").Address Then Exit Sub
Select Case Target
Case Is = 1: Call macro1
Case Is = 2: Call macro2
Case Else: MsgBox "no such"
End Select
End Sub
