VBA, an event-driven programming can be triggered when you change a cell or range of cell values manually.
Change event may make things easier, but you can very quickly end a page full of formatting. There are two kinds
of events.

Worksheet Events
Workbook Events

Worksheet Events
Worksheet Events are triggered when there is a change in the worksheet. It is created by performing a right-click
on the sheet tab and choosing 'view code', and later pasting the code.

The user can select each one of those worksheets and choose "WorkSheet" from the drop down to get the list of all
supported Worksheet events.

Following are the supported worksheet events that can be added by the user.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()


Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Example
Let us say, we just need to display a message before double click.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)


MsgBox "Before Double Click"
