I want to get an excel macro to run based on the value of a cell. Is this
possible?

If you use event code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Address = "$H$10" Then
If Target.Value = "my value" Then
myMacro
End If
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Not quite sure what you mean but as a guess

If you want a different macro to run depending on what a cell contains then...
'In the SHEETS code module...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Row = 1 And Target.Column = 1 Then
Select Case Target.Value
Case 1
Call Macro1()
Case 3
Call Macro2()
Case 3
Call Macro3()
Else
'Do nothing
End Select
End If
End Sub



If you need a certain macro to run only when a cell = a certain value then...
'In the SHEETS code module...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Row = 1 And Target.Column = 1 Then
Select Case Target.Value
Case 1, 2, 3
TheRealMacro Target 'Call the real macro
End Select
End If
End Sub

Private Sub TheRealMacro(Target As Excel.Range)
MsgBox "Macro running: You typed " & Target.Value
End Sub
