1. Set Up the Worksheet Change Event
Open the VBA Editor:
Press ALT + F11 to open the VBA editor.
Locate Your Worksheet:
In the VBA editor, find the worksheet where your live data feed is located. This will be under VBAProject > Microsoft Excel Objects.
Add the Worksheet Change Event:
Double-click on the worksheet (e.g., Sheet1) where you want to monitor changes.
Add the following code to the Worksheet_Change event:
vba
Copy code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cell As Range
Dim watchCells As Range
' Define the range of cells you want to monitor
Set watchCells = Me.Range("A1:B10") ' Adjust range as needed
' Check if the changed cell is within the monitored range
If Not Intersect(Target, watchCells) Is Nothing Then
For Each cell In Target
' Check if cell value meets the target condition
If cell.Value >= 100 Then ' Adjust condition as needed
Call SendNotification(cell.Address, cell.Value)
End If
Next cell
End If
End Sub
2. Create a Subroutine to Send Notifications
You can use VBA to send an email via Outlook. To send a text message, you’ll need to use an email-to-SMS gateway provided by mobile carriers. Here’s how you can set up email notifications:
Add the Notification Subroutine:
In the VBA editor, insert a new module by clicking Insert > Module.
Add the following code to send an email notification:
vba
Copy code
Sub SendNotification(cellAddress As String, cellValue As Variant)
Dim OutlookApp As Object
Dim OutlookMail As Object
' Create an instance of Outlook
Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutlookMail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
' Set up the email
With OutlookMail
.To = "email address removed for privacy reasons" ' Replace with recipient's email address
.Subject = "Cell Value Alert"
.Body = "The value in cell " & cellAddress & " has changed to " & cellValue & "."
.Send
End With
' Clean up
Set OutlookMail = Nothing
Set OutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
