    Sound alert when specific value is triggered (worksheet attached)

    Good Morning Everyone,

    Thanks for taking the time to look at this one.

    I have attached a worksheet and would really appreciate help with the following:


    1. I need an audio alert to be triggered when one cell value in the range (A11:M11) is greater than or equal to 50.

    2. I also need an audio alert to be triggered when one cell value in the range (A11:M11) is less than or equal to -50.


    The numbers are generated through a dynamic data feed.

    The audio alert can be the same sound for both values (e.g. "C: Windows Media Ring 03" is the location of one sound on my computer).

    Could somebody please create a macro for this, and paste it in so that it runs automatically from when I open the document?

    Alternatively, if it is possible (and easier) to do this using conditional formatting, please feel free to do so.

    Looking forward to receiving your answers!

    Hi Marc,

    Thanks for your response. Sure thing, it's just that I require an audio alert and do not know how to programme this.

    Hi there,

    That looks great, could you paste it into the workbook for me, please? (I am not familiar with VBA).

    Many thanks!

    Re: Sound alert when specific value is triggered (worksheet attached)

    Hi,

    Yes thanks :-) I'm just trying to get it to work automatically from the moment the document is opened, so that I do not have to manually activate it by pressing f5.

    Could you maybe make it do this?

    Many thanks in advance

    Re: Sound alert when specific value is triggered (worksheet attached)

    Alright,

    Can you tell me what this exactly means?

    when one cell value in the range (A11:M11) is greater than or equal to 50.
    What if there are more than one such cells?

    Re: Sound alert when specific value is triggered (worksheet attached)

    Sure thing,

    the dynamic data values are listed on a worksheet entitled "RESULTS" and change every second in the range A11:M11, as part of a larger Excel file I have been building.

    When one (or several) cells display a value >= 50 or <=-50 in any given second, it would be great if Excel could announce "ALERT" or something similar just once. Does this information help?

    Re: Sound alert when specific value is triggered (worksheet attached)

    Alright!

    Then why not have CF to make the Cell Red when cells display a value >= 50 or <=-50?

    I mean I can give you a sound alert, but wont that be irritating after some time?

    Besides, CF will tell you exactly the cells that have violated the Rules..

    Re: Sound alert when specific value is triggered (worksheet attached)

    Hi,

    yeah, I know it seems crazy. It's just that I can't always be in front of my screen if I have it running in the office or at home, but I'm always within earshot of the laptop (I have two young daughters who keep me very busy :-))

    So, with a sound alert, I could be in the other room and know when an alert has been triggered, but would not necessarily see it.

    Besides, the trading algorithm tends to generate one alert value every 45 minutes (on average) so it would not be too annoying.

    Would it still be OK to have the sound alert instead?
