Offset clear adjacent cells option - excel

I did a post yesterday asking how to clear adjacent dropdown lists when parent list changes. I was able to find a post, adjust my code, and get it to work.
Now the issue I'm facing is that I need it to be optional:
If the column 1 changes, then clear offset column B & C cells.
If the change is selected in column 2, then only clear offset column C cell.
Below is my code so far - it works when making the change in column A, but I need it be optional if I only make the change in column B, and clear the adjacent cell in column C.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count < 1 Then Exit Sub 'screen out multi-cell changes
If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub 'col2 only
If Not CellHasValidation(Target) Then Exit Sub '...with validation
On Error GoTo haveError 'ensure events are not left off
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
Target.Offset(0, 2).Value = ""
Target.Offset(0, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 44
Target.Offset(0, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 44
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
haveError:
MsgBox Err.Description
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
'check if a cell has validation
Function CellHasValidation(cell As Range) As Boolean
Dim vt
On Error Resume Next 'ignore if error (no validation)
vt = cell.Validation.Type
On Error GoTo 0 'stop ignoring errors
CellHasValidation = Not IsEmpty(vt)
End Function

You can use a loop:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim i As Long
If Target.CountLarge <> 1 Then Exit Sub 'screen out multi-cell changes
If Target.Column > 2 Then Exit Sub 'col 1/2
If Not CellHasValidation(Target) Then Exit Sub '...with validation
On Error GoTo haveError 'ensure events are not left off
Application.EnableEvents = False
'loop to max column to be cleared
For i = Target.Column + 1 To 3
With Target.EntireRow.Cells(i)
.Value = ""
.Interior.ColorIndex = 44
End With
Next i
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
haveError:
MsgBox Err.Description
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
'check if a cell has validation
Function CellHasValidation(cell As Range) As Boolean
Dim vt
On Error Resume Next 'ignore if error (no validation)
vt = cell.Validation.Type
On Error GoTo 0 'stop ignoring errors
CellHasValidation = Not IsEmpty(vt)
End Function

VBA Workshhet Change - Limit the Change Just For Specific Range

I have a trigger that I want to use in certain worksheet - just inside 2 specific columns. But whan I enter a value inside another range it triggers the Private Sub of that worksheet.
I want it would start to work just whan I cange value within columns E or H.
Is someone knows how to do it right?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim LR As Long
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
'WE WANT TO KEEP THE TARGET COLUMNS BETWEEN 0% TO 100%
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rng1 = Intersect(Target, Range(Cells(2, "E"), Cells(LR, "E")))
On Error GoTo 1
If Target.Value < 0 Or Target.Value > 1 Then
MsgBox "bla bla bla", vbCritical + vbMsgBoxRtlReading + vbMsgBoxRight, "error"
Target.Value = 0
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 1
Set rng2 = Intersect(Target, Range(Cells(2, "H"), Cells(LR, "H")))
If Target.Value < 0 Or Target.Value > 1 Then
MsgBox "bla bla bla", vbCritical + vbMsgBoxRtlReading + vbMsgBoxRight, "error"
Target.Value = 0
Exit Sub
End If
1
End Sub
You just need to check if Target intersects with your desired range. I would Union the two columns together in this check.
As cryptically stated by DisplayName, since Target can contain more than one cell, you should check each cell in target individually. Alternatively, if your intention for Target was to always have one cell, then you can avoid the For...Each statement altogether and use this check: If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub to not run the procedure when more than 1 cell is changed.
I also added another intersect target, Me.Rows("2:" & rows.count) to avoid updating any headers you may have. If your data does not contain headers, then you can remove this range from Intersect().
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo safeExit
Dim rngIntersect As Range
Set rngIntersect = Intersect(Target, Union(Me.Columns("E"), Me.Columns("H")), _
Me.Rows("2:" & Rows.Count))
If Not rngIntersect Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim cel As Range
For Each cel In rngIntersect
If cel.Value < 0 Or cel.Value > 1 Then
MsgBox "bla bla bla", vbCritical + vbMsgBoxRtlReading + vbMsgBoxRight, _
"error"
cel.Value = 0
End If
Next cel
End If
safeExit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
As a side note, when you are using the same exact range more than once, it's not a bad idea to go ahead and set that range to a variable. So, we use rngIntersect twice in this code, so this prevents us from having to issue multiple calls to the Intersect() and Union() functions. On top of that, you run into less debugging headaches when you only have to update the range in one place rather than multiple times in your code.
The intersect can check if any of the cells in Target (yes, Target can be more than a single cell) intersect with the Union of columns E and H.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' this next line could also be,
'If Not Intersect(Target, Range("E:E, H:H")) Is Nothing Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Union(Range("E:E"), Range("H:H"))) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo bye_bye
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim t As Range
For Each t In Intersect(Target, Union(Range("E:E"), Range("H:H")))
If (t.Value2 < 0 Or t.Value2 > 1) And t.Row > 1 Then
MsgBox "bla bla bla", vbCritical + vbMsgBoxRtlReading + vbMsgBoxRight, "error"
t = 0
End If
Next t
End If
bye_bye:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Clearing cells in a table in excel when one cell is cleared

I have a table from A12 to AO29. The table headers are in row13.
I am working on a macro that deletes data in column D, E and I when the cell in column B is changed or deleted. The code below works fine, except that it is not deleting the data column D. Column D has a data validation list.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = True
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H6")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("H8") = vbNullString
Range("H7") = vbNullString
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("$H6")) Is Nothing Then
Range("A12:B29").ClearContents
Range("D12:E29").ClearContents
Range("I12:I29").ClearContents
Range("A33:F50").ClearContents
Range("J33:J50").ClearContents
Range("A54:H71").ClearContents
Range("L54:L71").ClearContents
Range("A75:H92").ClearContents
Range("L75:L92").ClearContents
Range("A96:E113").ClearContents
Range("I96:I113").ClearContents
Range("A117:B134").ClearContents
Range("F117:F134").ClearContents
Range("A138:C156").ClearContents
Range("G138:G159").ClearContents
Range("A160:C177").ClearContents
Range("G160:G177").ClearContents
Range("A181:C198").ClearContents
Range("G181:G198").ClearContents
End If
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A12:A29")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo haveError
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then Target.Offset(0, 1).clearcontent
Target.EntireRow.Range("B1,D1,E1,I1").ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B12:B29")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo haveError
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then Target.Offset(0, 1).clearcontent
Target.EntireRow.Range("D1,E1,I1").ClearContents
End If
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D12:D29")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo haveError
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then Target.Offset(0, 1).clearcontent
Target.EntireRow.Range("E1,I1").ClearContents
End If
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("E12:E29")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo haveError
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then Target.Offset(0, 1).clearcontent
Target.EntireRow.Range("I1").ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Exit Sub
haveError:
Application.EnableEvents = True
This would be easier to manage:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, _
Me.Range("A12:B29,D12:D29,E12:E29")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo haveError
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each c in Target.EntireRow.Range("B1,D1,E1,I1").Cells
If c.Column > Target.Column Then c.ClearContents
Next c
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Exit Sub
haveError:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Note when using Range() in the context of EntireRow, the range is relative to the single row.
When you're checking the b12-b29 range, you're not unionizing your ranges so the call to clear contents only affects the last range you set it to which would be the i column.
You could also condense this down drastically by replacing it with one line like this
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("b12", "b29")) Is Nothing Then
Set rngDB = Union(Range("d" & Target.Row), Range("e" & Target.Row), Range("i" & Target.Row))
rngDB.ClearContents
End If

Data control for cell

This is what I want to do. I have five columns (A,B,C,D,E). My requirement is that in each row, only one cell should accept data, and the remaining cells should not accept data (i.e. the remaining four cells should be in locked mode).
eg if the user enter 1 in column 1, BCDE will be lock but if the user decides to change the option they can put back original data and change to another value in a column. Below is a sample of what I am trying to do.
VeryStrong Strong Neutral Weak VeryWeak
1 0 0 0 0 Data keyed by user 1
0 1 0 0 0 Data keyed by user 2
0 1 1 0 0 *This is what I am trying to prevent*
User 1 can go back and change
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Me.Unprotect
If Not IsEmpty(Target) Then
'Data was added in target cell. Lock its neighbours.
Me.Cells(Target.Row, 1).Resize(, 5).Locked = True
Target.Locked = False
Else
'Data was erased from target cell. Release its neighbours.
Me.Cells(Target.Row, 1).Resize(, 5).Locked = False
End If
Me.Protect
End Sub
I am trying to figure out the code and change the relevant to specific columns eg K9,L9,M9,N9,O9. – Timothy Teoh 27 mins ago
Try this. (TRIED AND TESTED)
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyPass As String
Dim Rw As Long
MyPass = "Sid" '<~~ Change this to your password
On Error GoTo Whoa
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K:O")) Is Nothing Then
Rw = Target.Row
ActiveSheet.Unprotect MyPass
Select Case Target.Value
Case Is > 0
Range("K" & Rw & ":O" & Rw).Locked = True
Target.Locked = False
Case 0
Range("K" & Rw & ":O" & Rw).Locked = False
End Select

Insert data in same row when a value in a cell is changed

I have code that retrieves information from SQL and VFP and populates a dropdown list in every cell in column "A" except A1 - this is a header.
I need to populate the "G" column on the row where the user selects the value from a dropdown in the "A" column.
I believe I need to be in Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) which is in the sheet object.
Below is something similar to what I want to do.
If cell "a2".valuechanged then
Set "g2" = "8000"
End if
If cell "a3".valueChanged then
Set "g3" = "8000"
End if
The code above doesn't work, but I think it is easy to understand. I want to make this dynamic, so I don't have too many lines of code.
I have already explained about events and other things that you need to take care when working with Worksheet_Change HERE
You need to use Intersect with Worksheet_Change to check which cell the user made changes to.
Is this what you are trying?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Whoa
'~~> Check if user has selected more than one cell
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
'~~> Check if the user made any changes in Col A
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns(1)) Is Nothing Then
'~~> Ensure it is not in row 1
If Target.Row > 1 Then
'~~> Write to relevant cell in Col G
Range("G" & Target.Row).Value = 8000
End If
End If
Letscontinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Letscontinue
End Sub
Try this
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 And Target.Column <> 7 Then
Cells(Target.Row, "G").Value = 8000
End If
End Sub
If you only need it to fire on column A then
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 And Target.Column = 1 Then
Cells(Target.Row, "G").Value = 8000
End If
End Sub
can you not put an if statement in column G , as in
If (A1<>"", 8000,0)
Other wise something like this will get you going:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.Value2 <> "" Then
Target.Offset(0, 6) = "8000"
Else
Target.Offset(0, 6) = ""
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

I had a similar problem. I used Siddharth Rout's code. My modifications allow a user to paste a range of cells in column a (ex. A3:A6) and have multiple cells modified (ex. H3:H6).
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Whoa
'~~> Check if user has selected more than one cell
If Target.Cells.CountLarge < 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 500 Then Exit Sub
Debug.Print CStr(Target.Cells.CountLarge)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim the_row As Range
Dim the_range As Range
Set the_range = Target
'~~> Check if the user made any changes in Col A
If Not Intersect(the_range, Columns(1)) Is Nothing Then
For Each the_row In the_range.Rows
'~~> Ensure it is not in row 2
If the_row.Row > 2 Then
'~~> Write to relevant cell in Col H
Range("H" & the_row.Row).Value = Now
End If
Next
End If
Letscontinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub

Worksheet Change event not working after pasting values

I have a code in Worksheet_Change
If a column 9 is updated then the column 8 will be automatically populated by multiplying with col 9 and col 11.
But when the user pastes the values in the column, the change event does not work correctly. Only the first cell in the Col 8 gets updated.
How can I overcome from this?
Try this
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Whoa
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Columns.Count > 1 Then GoTo LetsContinue
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns(9)) Is Nothing Then
Dim aCell As Range
For Each aCell In Target
aCell.Offset(, -1).Value = aCell.Value * aCell.Offset(, 2)
Next
End If
LetsContinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume LetsContinue
End Sub
