Question

I’m creating a spreadsheet to train my numerical skills.

Now, I use VBA macros to generate a new problem once the current one has been correctly solved. To do so, I still have to press a button in the worksheet, which costs time and is annoying.

Is there a way that I can execute a macro when a certain condition is met?

for instance:

if A1 = "correct!"
then <run macro>
else <do nothing>

Also, let me know if you’re interested in the spreadsheet, I’d be happy to share it with you guys.

best,
Pieter

Answer 1

Add this as code for your Worksheet:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If (Range("A1") = "correct!") Then
        ''# do your stuff here
    End If
End Sub

Worksheet_Change is called whenever something is changed. As it looks like A1 is calculated, you can not check for Target in that case but check for the value of the cell.
