Excel VBA: Worksheet Change cell value to different sheet - excel

Question

I've been working on this for some time now and have hit a real stumbling block.
I have a set of values that are available via a validated dropdown menu in Sheet 3, Column D. Once selected this value currently displays in a different sheet (Sheet 7) using excel function ='Sheet 3'!D4 and so on, and I have some code that reads this and performs an IF statement to produce a value in another cell.
My problem is the code is dependant on reading the value and not the formula.
I currently have a worksheet change command for a separate function I want to run, is there a way for this to run a second function and call any changes from sheet 3 column D into sheet 8 column D and then run my other change function?
Sheet 7 Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
If Intersect(Target, Range("D2:D102")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo Finalize
For Each c In Target.Cells
Select Case c.Column
Case 4
Call Print_Quality(c)
End Select
Next c
Finalize:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Sheet 7 Module:
Sub Print_Quality(c As Range)
Dim PrintQuality As String
Dim PrintSpeed As String
PrintQuality = c.Value
If PrintQuality = "A Quality 1" Then PrintSpeed = "100"
c.Offset(0, 5).Value = PrintSpeed
End Sub
I've been trying this route but to no avail:
Worksheet 3 code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("D4:D104")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo Finalize
UpdateVal
Finalize:
Application.EnableEvent = True
End Sub
Module:
Sub UpdateVal()
Worksheets("Sheet 7").Range("D2").Value = Worksheets("Sheet 3").Range("D4").Value
End Sub
Many thanks

Sods law, I've managed to fix this an hour after my desperation post.
I completed another worksheet change from the sheet it was calling from (Sheet 3)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim KeyCells As Range
Set KeyCells = Range("D4:D104")
If Not Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(Target.Address)) Is Nothing Then
Call UpdateVal
End If
End Sub
then added this function into the module
Sub UpdateVal()
Sheet8.Cells(2, 4).Value = Sheet3.Cells(4, 4)
End Sub
this now references the value of the dropdowns in sheet 8 and allows other functionality to continue using the cell value

Have you tried stepping through your code to see where it is having an issue? It not, I would suggest putting a break at the beginning of each module, and then use F8 to step through. This will confirm it is running as it should.
You should also be fully-qualifying your references to worksheets. While presumably the sheet references should carry through given that they are in worksheet modules, there is the chance of failure. You can simply assign a variable to hold the worksheet like so:
Dim wb as Workbook
Dim ws as Worksheet
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Sheets("YourSheetName")
Additionally, your worksheet 3 code:
EnableEvent = True
Should be:
EnableEvents = True
