Running a Macro when cell value is a specified value
I want to fire my macro when cell "b3' has the value of "#N/A". I have tested
my macro and it runs fine with b3 = #N/A; but I can only get it to run if I run the macro manually. I want it to run whenever b3 = #N/A. The macro performs to change the value of b3 to a non-error value. How can I get the macro to fire when b3 = "#N/A"? Thanks for your help. |

Running a Macro when cell value is a specified value
One way:
Run it as an event macro. Assuming B3 is the result of a calculation, put this in your worksheet code module (right-click the worksheet tab and choose View Code): Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() With Me.Range("B3") If IsError(.Value) Then _ If .Value = CVErr(xlErrNA) Then MyMacro End With End Sub In article , MichaelRobert wrote: I want to fire my macro when cell "b3' has the value of "#N/A".

Running a Macro when cell value is a specified value
Insert this event macro in the worksheet code area:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Range("B2").Text = "#N/A" Then MsgBox ("Hi Mike") End If End Sub Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use: 1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window 2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window 3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it. To remove the macro: 1. bring up the VBE windows as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To learn more about macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm To learn more about Event Macros (worksheet code), see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200817 "MichaelRobert" wrote: I want to fire my macro when cell "b3' has the value of "#N/A".

Thanks to you both. I had not thought about making it an event. It works
well. Thanks again. Mike "JE McGimpsey" wrote: One way: Run it as an event macro.
