Running a macro if a recalculated cell changes in a table
I want to be able to automatically run a macro when a new row is entered on the absence table to record an employee absence. It would only trigger when the calculated value in column G changes. Column G itself is calculated itself from the date difference between column E and F. I am thinking I would use the worksheet calculate (declaration), but I am am struggling with what the syntax would be and how it would re-iterate as the table grows

RE: Running a macro if a recalculated cell changes in a table
Hi Diane,
Thank you for the forum question.
You will need a worksheet event to trigger the macro you want to run.
In the code below I use currentRegion to include new added rows. I start from A1. You may need to change A1 to a cell inside your range.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim Xrg As Range
Set Xrg = Range("A1").CurrentRegion
If Not Intersect(Target, Xrg) Is Nothing Then
Macro1
End If
End Sub
Please let me know if, it is not what you want.
Kind regards

Hi Jens
Hope you are safe and well, thank you for the response, it is what I am trying to do but I am getting a compile error when I update the range of 'variable not defined', the variable in question is Target. I can see we haven't defined Target as a variable, but I tried that to no avail.
Kind regards
Diane

Hi Diane,
Thank you I am fine and I hope that you are fine too.
Sorry I was wrong with my first reply. I forgot that Target was not a declared variable. Try:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim Xrg As Range
Set Xrg = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns("g")
If Not Intersect(Xrg, Xrg) Is Nothing Then
"the code you want to run"
End If
End Sub
Please let me know if this is working for you.
Kind regards
