Export values in a text file
In the B9 cell I have values that they change dynamically.
Is possible , through VBA, than Excel notices of such variations and to every change writes those values in a text file with this structu DATE HOUR VALUE 10/30/2003 10:31 5,6 10/30/2003 11:59 5,9 10/31/2003 8:58 6 ETC. Can you help me? Thanks |

Assume this change is caused by some DDE connection
Look at SetLinkOnData property of the Workbook object to designate a macro to run when there is a change. Then have this macro write the data. In xl2000 and later, I believe you can use the change event for this. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/event.htm for a description of events. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Matrix" wrote in message ...

Hi,
Target.Value would be the contents of D9. For the event to evaluate to true and run Mytexfile you have to give it the cell address so it knows which cell is the current cell. This way you can evaluate more than one cell. Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$D$9" Then mytxtfile End Sub Sub MyTxtFile() Const Percorso = "c:\txtExport.txt" Open Percorso For Append As #1 Print #1, Date, Time, Cells(9, 4).Value Close #1 End Sub -- John johnf202 at hotmail dot com "Matrix" wrote in message ...

Ok, now it works, but there is a big problem Change Event doesn't work with DDE link: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=172832 The right solution is SetLinkOnData, but i haven't understood how it works. Please Jaf can you tell me how i can adapt previous vba code with SetLinkOnData? Thanks a lot |

Why not read the sample code given in the link you show. It shows you how
it works. Each link has to be set separately and a macro assigned. Since you only have one cell, D9, that would only need one macro assignment - the macro would be Mytxtfile. I found you need to do to a calculate in the in the macro to get the updated value. Recall I told you about SetLinkOnData in my first post and the fact that Change only works in xl2000 and later, just like in the article. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Matrix wrote in message ...
