Is it possible to click in a cell and trigger a macro?

Should i have to use buttons? If so can i make them invisible and put
"behind" a cell (i guess not?

...seems this is not possible and only choice is a selection change event.

You could check for a double click or right click--but not just for a click.

On way around it is to put a rectangle from the Drawing toolbar over the cell.
Make its borders invisible and assign a macro to that rectangle.

Hold on there!!
try this

Hold down the Shift Button and go to EDIT-COPY PICTURE and select "as
shown on screen"
Now hold down your shift again and go to EDIT - PASTE PICTURE
now you have a picture of the cell and right click and assign a macro
to it,
Dave

Serdar,

The Selection_Change will fire a macro, unless the cell was already
selected. Since this cell is to fire a macro when clicked, presumably you
won't be trying to change the contents of the cell in normal use. If so,
the Selection_Change event could call your macro, and also change the
selection to some other cell. That way, it would always fire when clicked.

If that ain't all right, I think Dave's is the way to go.

You are right, I didn't mention that.
You won't be able to input a value in that cell, you can only use that
cell to create an event.
If you want a simple button for a macro and not have it show up on the
sheet you can take a picture of a column heading and assign the macro
or add a button to a toolbar!
it all depends on what you want to make happen

You could select that cell
Edit|Copy
shift-Edit|Paste picture Link

Then use the arrow keys to select that cell to change the value in the cell.
Then the picture will change whenever the value in that cell changes.

But when I do this, the underlying value in the cell "bleeds" into the
picture--makes it look kind of ugly.
