Why Doesn't The Sound Play When The Value Changes Indirectly?
May 21, 2008
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? ......

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.

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 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 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?

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.

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.

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.

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'm trying to call a function that is stored in a cell as a text string. In cell A1, I have the text Sum('Sheet1:Sheet3'!C3). I want to call this function from a different cell. Is this possible using the pre-defined functions, or would I be better creating my own function?

Is it all possible to address controls on a user form indirectly?
Thus instead of say
kv=me.textbox10.value
Could you do something like...
i=10
kfield="me.textbox" & format(i,"99") & ".value"
kv=evaluate(kfield)

I have a spread sheet in which some rows are grouped.
So I can see the + (or -) buttons on the side, and the 1 and 2 buttons on the top, to hide or show the separate grouped rows.
Now, depending on the value of a certain cell, I either want to show or hide the grouped rows.
So actually I want to control the +/- and 1/2 buttons indirectly.
Is this possible? Or should I do this by hiding rows instead of grouping them?

How do I get my spreadsheet to play wav files I have saved according to certain criteria?
i.e. if certain value is entered into the cell, or on opening of the spreadsheet
I have message boxes appearing for the values in certain cells, however, don't know how I would add in the playing of a wav file to enhance this.

I have the following data in excel (just an example):
X | Y1 | Y2
-3 | 9 | 1
-2 | 4 |
-1 | 1 | 1.5
0 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 1.5
2 | 4 |
3 | 9 | 1
I want to play Y1 and Y2 against X. Y2 does not appear on the chart because it's not continuous. I would like to plot Y1 (as a continuous graph) and a Y2 as dots (or scattered as excel lables it).

I have built a darts scoreboard on Excel 2007, to track scores but also record statistics such as 3 dart average and -checkout success. As I don't know how to write macro's I've created it using formulae only - it's not fancy but does the job!
I have a number of .WAV files that call out the main scores - 60, 100, 140 and 180 and I'd like the scoreboard to play the relevant file when someone scores that amount. I've trawled through lots of forums but have been able to find one that does exactly what I need it to, and I don't know how to adjust the ones I've found.
This is how the scoreboard works:
There are 25 different sheets, one for each leg of the match that could be played. The sheets are named Leg1, Leg2, Leg3 etc.On each sheet, Player 1's scores are entered in cells J15 to J47, and Player 2's scores are entered into cells O15 to O47Once Player 1 or Player 2 wins the leg, I move on to the next sheet to play the next leg. All the scores entered remain in each sheet until the match has ended
This is what I need the macro to do:
When a score of anything other than 60, 100, 140 or 180 is entered, do nothingWhen a score of 60, 100, 140 or 180 is entered, play the relevant .WAV fileIf, for example, Player 1 scores 60 the '60' .WAV file plays. 60 will be left in J15, then Player 2 may score 100, which will be entered into O15 and should trigger the '100' .WAV file.Note that either Player 1 or Player 2 can start the leg, so the order scores are entered between column J and column O can differ.

I have a list of 10 of my favorite/lucky numbers that I want to play in the lottery. The lottery picks 5 numbers total. I need a way to show me all the possible combinations of my 10 numbers picked in a 5 number draw (hope that makes sense). There are no repeat combinations- for example- I DO NOT WANT 1-2-3-4-5 and 5-4-3-2-1 to come up as separate combinations- so each of my favorite #s needs to be used only once in each combination, and each set used once.
I have searched this board for 2 hours now- read tons of other posts, but not finding a real solution. The output will be a list of all the possible combinations (no repeats, and no permutations) using my 10 favorite numbers. Another example-
1-2-3-4-5
1-2-3-4-6
1-2-3-4-7
1-2-3-4-8
1-2-3-4-9
1-2-3-5-6
1-2-3-5-7
and so on.
How do I create this? I realize the resulting table will be quite a large number of combinations- but we're going to have fun with it and pick a few at random.

I'm trying to write some VB code that will call up a sound file each time I give a new cell focus.
Example:
Cell A1 holds value "Hello"
I'm trying to write code that calls a sound clip I've recorded that says "Hello" when I select A1
Any suggestions?

I have made a standard Demo Workbook for testing Wav file VBA in this case.
It shows the problem code and a series of counters.
When the RED macro button is pressed, it should show the error code. and below a brief explanation.
I don't think it is an actual error as such, but I ask for an alteration. Once the code is solved, the GREEN button should work. If the demo book is downloaded it will explain better.

I recently installed Office 2002 onto a new computer and found that whenever I drag-and-drop any amount of data from one cell to another, a loud obnoxious noise plays when I release the drag-and-drop data.
I was using the same version of Office on my old computer and did not have this problem.
I'm guessing it's a clipboard issue, since when I open the Excel clipboard (where I currently have all options as unchecked) and copy something so it is captured there, the same noise plays.
I already have turned off Windows sounds via the Control Panel and have no clue how to turn off this sound.

Is there a way to get a sound toggle button on excel?
What I need is a button to turn the sound alerts on and off on my spreadsheet. Ideally I'd like a button that either changed an image to the speaker image when on and the speaker image with line through it when off. Is that possible?
If not, is it possible to have a button that just says: "Sound:ON" or "Sound:OFF"?
I guess it could be done with tick boxes, or drop down options.

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.
