Hi,
I am trying a simple worksheet change event as following:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
MsgBox ("ok")
End sub

but it does not fire and I can not the msgbox shown up. Is there any
condition apply to this event?

Any help appreciated!

Frank,

Is the code in the ThisWorkbook code module? It must be in that
module, not a regular code module, for the code to work. Also,
ensure that Application.EnableEvents is True. In the VBA Editor,
press CTRL+G to display the Immediate window, and type the
following and press Enter

Application.EnableEvents = True

This is miswritten. The code must be in a sheet module, not the
ThisWorkbook module.

You code works fine, but must be put in worksheet code.

Right-click any tab
Select view code
Enter your code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
MsgBox "ok"
End Sub
Worked for me. I wonder why yours says Excel.range and mine just says range?
