Cell To Flash And Play A Sound
Feb 5, 2010
What I want to achieve is for say if the value in cell A1 equals the value in cell B1, then cell A1 to flash a background colour (eg. red), and also play a sound. I assume this can only be achieved using VBA, of which I am not conversant with. I am searching the forum for answers, but not yet found one that addresses my problem exactly (being a complete VBA newbie). In the meantime if some could assist please or point me to a thread that addresses this query.

Just want to know if there is a way to play a sound based on the value of a cell. In this case, if the cell says "S" then the sound is a low note and if the cell says "L" then the sound is a high note. If the cell is "" then there is no sound.

I have 2 cells that take imported info. from a DDE server. Lets say one cell currently has a number of 9.00. Lets say the 2nd cell has a number of 1.00. Lets say the 1st cell over time goes from 9.00 to 8.50 to 7.33 to 6.67 and so on....it continues to go down. At the same time, lets say the 2nd cell is gaining and going from 1.00 to 1.33 to 2.00 to 2.67 to 3.33, and so on...and it continues to go up. I want to have a certain sound play once the two cell numbers "cross" each other. I only want this sound to play one time and not every "tick" as they cross and go up/down. Can someone show me how to program this?

Is there any way of playing a sound (or even better, speech) whenever a specific cell equals a certain value or contains a certain string (such as "Alarm")? This has to happen automatically as the cell updates and require no interaction.

I have a wav sound I would like the user to hear when the cell is selected
Each cell has a word in it:
a1 = relator
a2 = woo
a3 = strategic
each word has a related recording that is in the form of a wav sound file. (does the wav filke have to be stored in a certain place...?) perused lots of Qs & As but didn't find one this simple: the user clicks the cell and the sound plays.

This is what I have,
Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
Const SND_SYNC = &H0
Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If UCase(ActiveSheet.Range("S41").Value) > 99 Then
FName = "C:windowsmediading.wav"
Call PlaySound(FName, 0&, SND_ASYNC Or SND_FILENAME)
End If
End Sub
but I cant get it to work!
All I want is for it to play a sound when My Value in S41 goes over the Value 99
the value is part of a simple formula of sums.

I am trying to make a sound play in excel. I have the following code in an excel spreadsheet on my computer at home. When I do the same code on my computer at work, the sound will not play.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("joe").Value > 100 Then
For x = 1 To 3
Beep
Next x
End If
End Sub
Any thoughts as to what the problem is?

I would like to create a macro that plays a sound every 45 seconds or so. In other words, I would like to have a countdown timer that counts from 45 seconds down to 0 seconds and at the end it plays a sound file(could be mp3, wav, etc) to signal the end. After that it should automatically reset itself back to the start of 45s and count down again. This would be repeated about ten to eleven times. What is the easiest way of doing this? It's too confusing. Lets say the audio file was located in: C:my soundseep.wav

I'm trying to automate/keep records of my day by setting up a spreadsheet which : 1) Plays a wav music file at a schedule time as a reminder and 2) at the same time calls up a form where I can enter the results of the activity then 3) saves the results to a sheet where consecutive daily records can be recorded and graphed.
Example
At 5am each day I want a "Motivation.wav" music file to open and play and a form appear where I enter in the number of sit ups, push-ups I get done, which I enter in the form and it gets saved to a sheet where I can graph my progress based on the results recorded.

This is a complete mystery to me. I have some code (reproduced below) that plays a .wav file when any of the values in a1:a9 changes from 0 to greater than 0. This code works when I manually change one of the values to a trigger number in any of the cells.
The problem is that the values in a1:a9 are really pointers to other cells. For example,
a1 is "=sum(D9:D20)"
So, when I d9:d20 chnages values such that a1 changes from 0 to 5, the sound doesn't play. To put it simply, if I type "5" in a1 the sound plays. If a1 = D1 and I type "5" in D1 the value in A1 changes to 5 but the sound doesn't play.
How do I modify this code such that any change in the value of A1:A9, no matter the source of that data change, triggers the playing of the sound? ......

I'm using this simple code to play a wav file I loaded into a worksheet:
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Object 1").Select
Selection.Verb Verb = xlclose
I attached the macro to a button and it works. Now I need to stop the wave sound playing, by attaching another macro to a button. Is that possible? What syntax shall I use to stop playing the sound?

I have an automated sort descend happening all day. The top several cells are coloured green and if a cell jumps to the top from below the green cells, I would love a warning sound. Is is possible to activate a sound if a cell changes from a colour to a non colour. Preferably if any of the cells within a range of say F2: F6 changes from green to a non colour.
If it is not possible to have a change of colour to activate the macro, I could get around it by - if any cells in a range of H2:H5 >than 1 it plays a sound.

I was just wondering if there was a way to get a particular cell to play a sound when it is entered? I have a brain wave and am just wondering if it is possible.

I have thousands of items each with a unique barcode(column A) and each is catorgorized either KEEP or DISCARD (column B). What I want to do is scan the barcode (column A), Vlookup and return KEEP or DISCARD (column B). Now based on what the vlookup returns can I have a sound file play for KEEP and a different one for DISCARD.

I will try putting the Code Tags in correct this time, I think I figured out what I have been doing wrong.
This code will allow one cell to make a sound when a condition is met. I am trying to have each cell stand on its own. Example cell A1 would sound a Ding if the number >100 and cell A2 would sound a Tada if the word Cat would be returned ....

I have a an excel workbook that is distributed on a flash drive. Currently a Save As Macro copies "A1" as the file name and then opens a screen to allows the user to save that filename to a location that the user selects. What I would like to have happen is for a command button to start a macro that would automatically save the file back to the flash drive that the master workbook is located.

I created a macro, assigned to a menu button, that selects and prints a range on the active sheet. I created the macro with the recorder, then edited it to eliminate the excess. When I run the macro, though, it takes up to ten seconds to print the page and the screen flashes repeatedly while it's running. I also noticed that the length of the delay and the number of flashes seems to be related to the number of lines of code, because the delay was much longer and the flashing more excessive before editing.
Sub PrintContrReview_Click()
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$Y$5:$Z$20"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = "&F"
.RightHeader = "&A &D"
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(1.25)
.Zoom = 95
End With
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
End Sub
So what is the cause of the flash and the delay, and how do I eliminate them?

I have a command button that I want to appear to be flashing (by continually changing the button's font colour text) which a user can click at any time. I can (almost) do this now by using 'Application.Wait Now + TimeValue', but this doesn't allow the user to click the button until the code has finished running.

Is it possible to access data from flash content using excel?
The data I am looking for can be found by navigating to this link: [URL] ..., selecting one of the live games by clicking on the names of the teams, then clicking on the statistics tab on the next page.
The data I'm looking to extract is the shots data, i.e. shots on target, shots off target and shots on woodwork, plus the current score.
