Excel Online question re sounds

Copper Contributor

Hi there. I'm a first-time poster but can't find a solution to this in any existing threads...

I'm sharing an excel file using Online Excel with multiple users, and I want to play a sound to alert users that a new entry has been made. That seems easy enough in Excel Desktop App using VBA, but as Online Excel does not support macros I'm struggling to find a way to achieve it. Can anyone help me?

I have a cell formula in $H1 that says "If($B1="","","Pending") and I want to play a sound when cell H1 value changes to "Pending". I already have conditional formatting in play but sometimes a visual cue can't beat an audible one!

Thanks everyone :)

Hi,

 

I think this would be possible in the future, as the Excel Team has announced Office Scripts (Preview) that can be used to automate tasks in Excel Online including what you asking for.
