Playing A Sound On Cell Value
Dec 20, 2008I 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.
Play Wave Sound Then Stop Playing It
Jan 5, 2003I'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?

Playing Audio Sound As Alert In Cell Triggered By Clock
May 7, 2013I have a date base that is used as a job status board developed in excel that has locations, times, clock and other areas. What I am looking for is a way of playing a sound when the time approaches 5 min before the time in the excel cell that has been entered into the job status board...

Apr 14, 2014I have the following sub for me to play sound files:

Essentially what i want to do is play one sound file, then immediately play another. I am using two subs so that can be achieved as when I was using one sub the first sound didn't play as it was immediately replaced by the second sound.
The lines of code where I call my sounds are:

I thought the addition of:

Would allow the first sound to play, before then playing the second sound, however this doesn't seem to be the case and the second sound doesn't play at all.
Playing .Wav File
Jan 28, 2010i have a sheet where there are 2 columns of tick boxes for good/bad input. ive been able to borrow some code that saves the sheet at a date name and based on the fact that if there is one bad tick in the bad column i would like a wav file to play showing this. likewise if there are no bad ticks then a good wav file is played instead. here is my lame code that calls to modules with the actual wav play instrucions in them, named playsound1 and playsound2 :-
Private Sub worksheet_calculate()
If [A22] > 10 Then
MsgBox "Vehicle Log Saved"
Call SaveAsTodaysDate
'End If
'if =sum[d6:d16] > 1 call soundplay1 else call soundplay2
'If Range("d6:d16").Value > 1 Then
'MsgBox "your gonna crash!"
'Call SoundPlay1 Else Call SoundPlay2
End If
End Sub
Playing With Autofilters
Jun 2, 2006I am trying to figure out if it is possible to retrive the list of filter criteria in each filter of the filters collection using VBA. I could trawl through the data and retrive a unique list but I think it would take longer than if I could use what is already there.
I intend to use the list in a combo box elsewhere in the workbook......it's all to stop inquisitive little users accidently changing data and whining that thier figures are misteriously wrong.....
Value Formats Not Playing Well Together In If Statement
Apr 29, 2012I have a formula which lookups the sunset for a particular date.
Code:
sunset = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(tempws.Range("A9"), sun, 2, False
It returns a value in numeric format (eg. .8493055555555556).
I then compare it to a time vale in one of my userform textboxes.
Code:
If rental_end.Value > sunset Then
rental_end.value ="5:00 pm"
I have a suspicion that the tow different formats cannot provide accurate results in the If statement, and causing the result of the If statement to always be true, even when it should be false.
If this is indeed the case, how would one go about adjusting this code to provide proper comparison in the If statement?
Excel 2003 :: Playing MP3 From Sub Procedure?
Oct 17, 2012I am running Excel 2003, and have already searched the forum for "MP3" without avail.
Is there a way to play a MP3 file from a Sub Procedure?
J-Walk provides a way to do it with .wav and .mid files here Excel Developer Tip: Playing Sound From Excel using functions from the "winmm.dll" library.
However, .wav files are very large and I have a sizable collection of sounds which I'd like to use. If possible I'd much prefer to use .mp3 than .wav . Is there a way to do this? Preferably without Window's Media Player popping up.

View 5 Replies View RelatedExcel 2013 :: Playing WAV File Based On Cell Value Change
Aug 6, 2014I have a spreadsheet with a database query attached (refreshing every 60 seconds) showing a stock summary by product.
I need the spreadsheet to play a .WAV file when values change. i.e.;
If cell A1 <6, play sound1.wav
If cell A2 <6, play sound1.wav
If cell A3 <6, play sound2.wav
If cell A4 <6, play sound2.wav
This may need to be repeated several times based on certain criteria. I have a total of about 30 cells which I need to be looked at individually (not a sum of) and to play the relevant sound.
I have seen different people try to tackle this in different ways. The ideal way would be creating alarms in VBA and triggering them using a formula, but I cannot get these to work in Excel 2010 or 2013.
Sound Clips

Any suggestions?

VBA Sound Wav Alterations
Aug 24, 2006I 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.
Turning Off The Clipboard Sound
Dec 12, 2007I 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.
Play Sound When Cell Contains Certain Value?

Apr 7, 2014Is 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.

Play Sound Every X Seconds
Oct 17, 2007I 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 get #Name error. I placed the wav file Applause.wav in the same folder as the workbook. What did I do wrong?. Also, assuming I get this problem sorted out, how would I represent the condition "pass" or "fail" as in cell B3 in the Alarm formula? Would it be; Alarm(B3,"Pass") or Alarm(B3,"=Pass") or something else?
Play A Sound When Cell Condition Is Met
Dec 11, 2007I 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?

Dec 20, 2008I'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.
