How can a macro can run automatically when a work book open
or hitting refresh data?

Put the code (or a call to the routine) in the
Workbook_OPEN() event processor to get it to run when the workbook is open.

To get to that place, right-click the Excel icon to the left of the File
entry in the menu bar and choose [View Code] from the list. When the VB
Editor opens there'll be 2 drop-down lists available at the top. Use the one
one the left and choose WORKBOOK from its list. The default procedure
created will be
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

End Sub

You can either put the code to be run within that section (between
Private... and End Sub). Or just a call to the name of a routine located
elsewhere.

Not certain about data refresh - try doing the same thing with
Worksheet_Change() event (right-click worksheet's name tab and choose View
Code from its list). In this case the default is Worksheet_SelectionChange()
which you don't want, so choose plain Change from the right-hand dropdown for
that code module. I'm just not positive right this minute that the Change
event triggers on a data refresh.
