    Warning / Alert on refreshable web data

    Hi!

    I'm trying to create a warning/alert when a cell goes above/below a certain amount.
    I know how to do this with Data Validation. The problem is, the results of my formula are based of a web data link which refreshes every 1 minute.
    When something refreshes and the formula produces a new value, it doesn't trigger the warning from Data Validation.. Is there any way i can do this?

    Thanks in advance

    This is the best I can do without an actual workbook, but it should give you an idea of how to do it. The following simulates the download of data and that the cell you are interested in monitoring is cell A2.
    Sub DownloadData()
    Range("A2") = Now()
    End Sub
    This code is on the sheet to which the data is downloaded.
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address = "$A$2" Then
        MsgBox "It changed"
    End If
        
    End Sub

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
