Want to make conditional sounds based on cell values in Excel

Conditional formatting.

Is it possible to insert logic formulae to make specific sounds based on
computed cell values in an Excel worksheet?

Howard,

You can play sounds using VBA code within the calculation event:

Add this to a module:

Declare Function sndPlaySound32 Lib "winmm.dll" Alias _
"sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, _
ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

Sub PlayMySound()
'Change the filepath and name
Call sndPlaySound32("c:\folder\Filename.WAV", 0)
End Sub

Add this worksheet event

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Range("A1").Value <> Range("A2").Value Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
PlayMySound
Range("A2").Value = Range("A1").Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub


HTH,
