running a macro on every refresh of the screen

[shovit sahai]

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet which is linked to live feeds from say Reuters. I
need to write a macro which auto-runs itself every time the spreadsheet
refreshes, or there is change in any of its cells. Something to the
effect "On every refresh, Do bla bla bla". Is there a way to implement
this in VB?

TIA

Hi shovit,

Yes - you can use the Worksheet_Change event subroutine to do this. To get
there, just right-click the worksheet's tab in Excel and select View Code.
Then, change the left dropdown above the code module to Worksheet, then
change the right dropdown to Change. Call your macro from that subroutine,
and each time any cell on the Worksheet changes, your macro will be
executed.

Does this work when a cell is paste linked to another
excel file and that file changes, does that trigger the
on change event?

Hi Wayne,

Are you referring to DDE, web queries, or something else?

I did a paste all -> link from several other excel
spreadsheets. I notice when I update them the master
spreadsheet is updated with new values. I tried to
trigger the macro and the funny thing was it would
trigger when i updated one of the subsidiary spreadsheets
but not on the others, although the updates did happen.

Hi Wayne,

I think you're correct in that external links do not cause the
Worksheet_Change event to fire. But the Worksheet_Calculate event does
fire, so you may be able to use that.
