What Are Events?

Event programming is the most useful tool which helps to monitor specific user actions
within Excel. For example, if the user Opening a Workbook, Selects a Worksheet, enters data
into a Cell, or saves a Workbook, these actions are all Excel Events.

What Are The Different Types of Events?

Events are linked to Excel Worksheets, Charts, Workbooks, UserForms, or to the Excel
Application itself. We can mainly classify these events as following:

Workbook Events:

Events that linked to a particular workbook.


For examples, Open (when the workbook is opened or created) , BeforeSave (when the
workbook is about to be saved),etc…

Worksheet Events:

Events that linked to a particular worksheet.


For examples, Change (when a Cell on the sheet is changed), SelectionChange (when the user
moves selection from one the cell to another), etc…

Chart Events:

Events that linked to a particular chart.

For examples, Select (when an object in the chart is selected), SeriesChange (when a value of
a data point in a series is changed). etc…

Application Events:

Events that linked to the application (Excel).


For examples, WorkbookBeforeClose (when any workbook is about to be closed), and
SheetChange (a cell in any open workbook is altered).

UserForm and ActiveX Contorls Events:

Events that linked to a particular UserForm or an object contained on


the UserForm.
For example, Initialize (before an userform is displayed), Click (when an ActiveX control is
clicked), etc…
