Run Macro from specific cells
 

Hi folks,

Tried searching the web for this, but don't know what event I'm searching
for!

I have a number of cells in a certain column (F9, F15, F16, F23....)
Non-contiguous. After the number is entered in these cells, I want it to
trigger a macro to effect the adjacent cell (bg colour and font colour)

I can construct the macro and assign it to a button, but I am unsure of how
to tie it to a specific cell or cells.

Anyone?

TIA,
Piers

It would be much simpler to use Conditional Format on the adjacent cells.

Use the Change event (not SelectionChange)

right click on the sheet tab and select view code. then, from the dropdowns
at the top of the module:

Left: Worksheet
Right: Change

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
if Target.count 1 then exit sub
set rng = Range("F9,F15:F16,F23")
if not intersect(Target,rng) is nothing then
With Target.Offset(0,1)
.Interior.colorIndex = 3
.Font.ColorIndex = 6
End Wtih
End if
End Sub
