Excel - Run Macro on Cell Change

April 2018




Issue


I am trying to have 1 of 8 different macro's run depending on the value of a specific cell.
  • If I enter 1 in cell A3, I would like macro1 to run. If I change cell A3 to 2, I would like macro2 to run and so on all the way up to entering 8 and getting macro8 to run. I am unable to find any good examples of how to do this.
  • Is there any way to use a formula to get this accomplished? If not what is the macro code I will need.

Solution


Try to use this macro and adapt it if you need : 

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)  
    If [A3] = 1 Then  
    Call Macro1  
    End If  
      
    If [A3] = 2 Then  
    Call Macro2  
    End If  
      
    If [A3] = 3 Then  
    Call Macro3  
    End If  
      
    If [A3] = 4 Then  
    Call Macro4  
    End If  
      
    If [A3] = 5 Then  
    Call Macro5  
    End If  
      
    If [A3] = 6 Then  
    Call Macro6  
    End If  
      
    If [A3] = 7 Then  
    Call Macro7  
    End If  
      
    If [A3] = 8 Then  
    Call Macro8  
    End If  
      
End Sub
