This article is talking about sending email through Outlook if any cell in a certain range is modified in Excel.
Send email if cell in a certain range is modified with VBA code
If you need to create a new email automatically with active workbook attached when cells in range A2:E11 are modified in a certain worksheet, the following VBA code can help you.
1. In the worksheet which you need to send email based on its modified cell in a certain range, right-click the sheet tab and then click the View Code from the context menu. See screenshot:
2. In the popping up Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, please copy and paste below VBA code into the Code window.
VBA code: Send email if cell in a specified range is modified in Excel
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Updated by Extendoffice 2017/9/12
Dim xRgSel As Range
Dim xOutApp As Object
Dim xMailItem As Object
Dim xMailBody As String
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set xRg = Range("A2:E11")
Set xRgSel = Intersect(Target, xRg)
ActiveWorkbook.Save
If Not xRgSel Is Nothing Then
Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xMailItem = xOutApp.CreateItem(0)
xMailBody = "Cell(s) " & xRgSel.Address(False, False) & _
" in the worksheet '" & Me.Name & "' were modified on " & _
Format$(Now, "mm/dd/yyyy") & " at " & Format$(Now, "hh:mm:ss") & _
" by " & Environ$("username") & "."
With xMailItem
.To = "Email Address"
.Subject = "Worksheet modified in " & ThisWorkbook.FullName
.Body = xMailBody
.Attachments.Add (ThisWorkbook.FullName)
.Display
End With
Set xRgSel = Nothing
Set xOutApp = Nothing
Set xMailItem = Nothing
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Notes:
3. Press the Alt + Q keys simultaneously to close the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
From now on, any cell in range A2:E11 is modified, a new email will be created with the updated workbook attached. And all specified fields such as subject, recipient and email body will be listed in the email. Please send the email.
Note: The VBA code is only working when you use Outlook as your email program.
