and when i open the workbook then there are Automatic update on the
worksheet."sheet1" I'm looking for a way to be able to know the new changes
either by changing font, colour or any other ways to know this is new data
added to the pages or editing. For example

you can use the Change event of the worksheet to embolden the text and
change the background color

for example, right click on the sheet tab and select View Code from the
pop-up then paste the following code:-

Option Explicit
Const cTan As Long = 10079487
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target
.Interior.Color = cTan
.Font.Bold = True
End With
End Sub

This will color the changed cells and make the font bold

REFRESH DATA then it will run automatic update then it should show bold and
colour to those changes it pulled from the database. please help. Thanks and
Appreciate your time

I tried this on one of my workbooks that pulls metrics from a big Access
database onto one of the Excel worksheets. The change event triggered only
once - at the end of the data refresh - and change the color of the ENTIRE
set of data to tan. Apparently the change event thinks that the whole
current region of the sheet changed or something like that? The Target was
the entire range of data being pulled from Access, not just any cells that
had changed value.

Any suggestions on how to get around that?
