Can i get an alert when real time data changes?

[pudley4]

I import real time data (stock quotes) from outside sources (Bloomberg, etc).
I have formulas that calculate changes and ratios throughout the day. I
want to be notified (through a popup message, or email) when these values
reach a certain range. Is that possible

Pop-up or email (or sound) would require programmatic support.
Depending on your comfort level with VBA, check out the worksheet
object's Calculate (or Change) event.

On the other hand, conditional formatting would not but all it would do
is change the format of specified cells.

Take a look at John Walkenbach's site:

But John has a note at how irritating this could be.
