Static AncAdress As String, AncCell As Variant
    If AncAdress <> "" Then 'for first initialization.
        If AncCell <> Range(AncAdress) Then
            'The cell that you just left has been changed. 
            'Put action to be taken.
            Stop
        End If
    End If
    AncAdress = Target.Address
    AncCell = Target.Value2
End Sub


Note that:
When the event change is activated, the contents of the cell that has just been selected to be in Target. but the module above the test the cell that has been left.
