Put following code in your worksheet module:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then
YourMacro
End If

End Sub

If you have more than one cell you could also use a select case
statement.

How does B2 get changed?

Manually or by calculation?

Event code can be used but type of event is crucial for an answer.

B2 is changed by calculation.
Let us say B2 is "=B1".
If I Manualy change the value in B1, then the value in B2 is changed also.
This value change in B2 must create the event that runs the macro.

I've been away a couple of days.

I am surprised you have not received an answer.

Try this in the sheet module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
On Error GoTo stoppit
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Me.Range("B2")
If .Value <> "" Then
Call themacroname
End If
End With
stoppit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
