Hi,

I am currently using Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object)
to execute code when the value of any cells (provided by external links)
change.

Is there any way to filter this so my code only runs if cells *within a
particular range* change? Something like :

if Sh.Range = within the range A1 to C10 then run the code
else do nothing

Seems a simple enough concept but I can't for the life of me figure it out!
I have to use "calculate" events rather than "change" events as the cells
are updated automatically, rather than by a user.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,
Try this code in the worksheet module not the workbook module.
The code is only practical on a small range as the time required to
run it increases greatly as the range size increases.

If Not IsEmpty(varValue) Then
For lngC = 1 To 3
For lngR = 1 To 10
If Me.Range("A1:C10")(lngR, lngC) < varValue(lngR, lngC) Then
'run your code instead of showing msgbox
MsgBox "ran code"
varValue = Me.Range("A1:C10").Value

varValue = Me.Range("A1:C10").Value

Hmm looks interesting, thing is speed is absolutely of the essence for what
I'm doing. The whole code gets run several times a second and it needs to
be as responsive as possible. Which is why I'm trying to make it more
selective as to which cells trigger it to run, so it doesn't get run more
than absolutely necessary. The code also updates some cells, which in turn
could trigger it to be run again, or should application.enableevents=false
stop that?

Any other ideas most appreciated!

Did you try the code?
