Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Static v as OldVal
if not isempty(OldVal)
if OldVal = 200 and Range("B9") < 200 then
msgbox "It has happened again"
end if
End if
if isnumeric(Range("B9")) then
OldVal = Range("B9").Value
else
oldval = Empty
End if
End Sub

Right click on the sheet tab where you want this behavior and select view
code,'

Put in code like the above untested pseudo code.

thanks tom
it didnt work for me but i changed it to

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()

If Range("D4") < 200 Then
MsgBox "Stock is LOW"
End If
End Sub

the first code was coming up with compile error but got the gist of cell
ref. do u c any problems with using the code above. its for stock control.

Yes, if the cell stays below 200, you will get a message box everytime there
is a calculation; not only when it changes.

I see I wasn't paying attention when I wrote mine

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Static OldVal as variant
if not isempty(OldVal) and isnumeric(OldVal) then
if isnumeric(Range("D4")) then
if OldVal = 200 and Range("D4") < 200 then
msgbox "Stock is LOW"
end if
end if
End if
if isnumeric(Range("D4")) then
OldVal = Range("D4").Value
else
oldval = Empty
End if
End Sub


worked for me
