Called macro doesn't do anything

[Limone]

Hi.
I'm trying to call a macro using a Worksheet_Change Event but everytime I run it nothing happens. The event itself works great and recognized that the macro doesn't exist after I tried deleting it. I've also tried testing my macro using the Immediate Window feature and everything worked as it was supposed to.

Here are my codes, thanks in advance

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address = "$W$6" Then
        Call MyMacro
    End If
End Sub

Sub MyMacro()
    If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("Y8") = True Then
        MsgBox "hey"
        Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub

You cant attach files on this forum.
Upload the file to an online storage site and post a link to it, though some people may not download the file for fear of viruses.

That way we can examine and test the data

What's the formula in Y8?

W6 = cell containing employee name
=COUNTIF(EmployeeTable[Employees];$W$6)>1

Here's the file, hope you can figure it out even thought it's in Italian. The sheet containing the codes is "Copertina" (Sheet 2, Module 4).

Thanks a lot for your help.

This is a "Worksheet Change" macro with a target address of W6.
Am no VBA expert, far from it, but doesnt that mean unless you have selected cell W6 in the Copertina sheet and attempted to amend the value the macro wont run?

If I select Copertina!W6, press F2 and press return I get the message "hey" so it does run.

Ooops, you're right! This is the mistake I make everytime. Sorry everyone for the bother. Thank you very much!

Limone, in order to step through code, in the Visual Basic window of the macro, you can press F8, and press it for each line of code. Another method, if VB isn't open is to go to View --> Macros --> View Macros; select the macro then click Step into button.

The highlighted line of code is the one about to be executed - you can hover the cursor over any variable to see the current value - this is extremely helpful in debugging.

FYI - first instance of a computer bug: http://www.computerhistory.org/tdih/september/9/

Just to point out that you need to put a breakpoint in Event code to be able to step through it using F8 as it needs to be triggered first
