Excel VBA Events

What are Events?

An Event occurs when certain actions are performed by the user or VBA. For example when you open a workbook the Workbook_Open event is triggered. When you (or your VBA) saves a workbook, the Workbook_BeforeSave event is triggered.

These events are built into Excel VBA and are executed automatically by Excel. You can write your own code which is also executed when these events occur. This code is known as an Event Handler.

Two ways of using events in excel.

• Workbook Events
• Worksheet Events
