How can I build For-Next-Loop in Change Event? - excel

I've got a sheet with Data.
I want to calculate the difference between date now and the date which are in cells C3:C10. And the results are stored in cells D3:D10.
That part I got it so far.
But if someone manipulates the values in the result cells then the VBA should recalculate those cells and correct the results.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
For Zeile = 3 To 10
Sheets("Tabelle2").Cells(Zeile, "D") = WorksheetFunction.YearFrac(Sheets("Tabelle2").Cells(Zeile, "C"), Date)
If Sheets("Tabelle2").Cells(Zeile, "C") = 0 Then
Sheets("Tabelle2").Cells(Zeile, "D") = ""
End If
Next Zeile
End Sub

The first thing to do is check if the change has been made in C3:C10, you can use Intersect for that.
Then you should disable events to stop the code triggering itself, use Application.EnableEvents = False for that.
Next loop through Target in case more than one cell has been changed and perform the required actions/calculations.
Finally re-enable events using Application.EnableEvents = True
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
Dim Zeile As Long
Set rng = Intersect(Target, Range("C3:C10"))
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each cell In rng.Cells
Zeile = cell.Row
If Cells(Zeile, "C") <> 0 Then
Cells(Zeile, "D") = Application.YearFrac(Cells(Zeile, "C").Value, Date)
Else
Cells(Zeile, "D") = ""
End If
Next cell
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
If you want the code to be triggered if a value is changed in either C3:C10 or D3:D10 change this,
Set rng = Intersect(Target, Range("C3:C10"))
to this.
Set rng = Intersect(Target, Range("C3:D10"))
You can also change the range address there if you want to further rows by changing 10.

I only want code to run if range that is blank to start with has any input entered, right now it runs any time change is made

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
StartRow = 21
EndRow = 118
ColNum = 1
For i = StartRow To EndRow
If Cells(i, ColNum).Value = Range("A4").Value Then
Cells(i, ColNum).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
Cells(i, ColNum).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
Next i
End Sub
The Range I want to dictate when the code is run is D21:D118. It will start out blank and then have data pulled into it
Thank you!
It's quite difficult and error-prone to tell in a Change event handler what the previous cell value was before it was edited. You might consider narrowing the logic so it only runs if a cell in A21:A118 is changed.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range, c As Range, vA4
'Does Target intersect with our range of interest?
Set rng = Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A21:A118"))
If rng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub 'no change in monitored range
vA4 = Me.Range("A4").Value
For Each c In rng.Cells 'loop over updated cells
c.EntireRow.Hidden = (c.Value = vA4) 'check each updated cell value
Next c
End Sub

Copy Cell to another column on change

I need to copy the contents of a cell in a particular column to another corresponding column on change so the old value is moved. Only wants to work for a particular column.
Private sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
if Target.Range("L:L") then
'set I cell value = to original L cell value
ActiveCell.Offset(0,-3).Value = ActiveCell.Value
End If
End Sub
This code should do what you want. Please take note of the comments which explain some limitations I have imposed on the action of this procedure. The rule to follow is to not give it more power than it needs to do the job you want it to do.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' 027
Dim Rng As Range
' don't react if the changed cell is in row 1 or
' if it is more than 1 row below the end of column L
Set Rng = Range(Cells(2, "L"), Cells(Rows.Count, "L").End(xlUp).Offset(1))
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Rng) Is Nothing Then
With Target
' skip if more than 1 cell was changed
' meaning, exclude paste actions
If .Cells.CountLarge = 1 Then
.Offset(0, -3).Value = .Value
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
This will save the previous value in column I:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim v As Variant
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Range("L:L"), Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With Application
v = Target.Value
.EnableEvents = False
.Undo
Target.Offset(0, -3).Value = Target.Value
Target.Value = v
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
EDIT#1:
To update L without triggering the event, use something like:
Sub ScriptThatUpdatesColumn_L()
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("L5").Value = "just me"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

worksheet change event only works when region selected - how to adjust to automatic update

the combination of this sub in a module
Sub hithere3()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Unique As Boolean
For Each Rng In Worksheets("Sheet8").Range("FS3:FS30") 'for each cell in your B1 to B30 range, sheet1
Unique = True 'we'll assume it's unique
Lastunique = Worksheets("TRADES").Range("C:C").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
For i = 3 To Lastunique 'for each cell in the unique ID cache
If Rng.Value = Worksheets("TRADES").Cells(i, 3).Value Then 'we check if it is equal
Unique = False 'if yes, it is not unique
End If
Next
If Unique Then Worksheets("TRADES").Cells(Lastunique + 1, 3) = Rng 'adds if it is unique
Next
End Sub
with the loop check in a worksheet change events
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("FS3:FS33")) Is Nothing Then
'Do nothing '
Else
Call hithere3
End If
End Sub
works except it only updates when I select one of the cells in FS3:FS33
Can anyone suggest how this can be overcome?
maybe with a workchange change range selection type from below?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Rng As Range, Dn As Range, n As Long
Dim RngB As Range, RngC As Range
If Target.Column = 2 And Target.Count = 1 And Target.Row > 1 Then
With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
.CompareMode = vbTextCompare
Set RngB = Range(Range("B2"), Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Set RngC = Range(Range("C2"), Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
ray = Array(RngB, RngC)
For n = 0 To 1
For Each Dn In ray(n)
If Not Dn.Address(0, 0) = "C1" And Not Dn.Value = "" Then
.Item(Dn.Value) = Empty
End If
Next Dn
Next n
Range("C2").Resize(.Count) = Application.Transpose(.Keys)
End With
End If
Use either the worksheet Calculate event or the worksheet Change event:
use Calculate if the range contains formulas
use Change if the cells in the range are changed manually
If Intersect(Target, Range("FS3:FS33")) Is Nothing is the culprit. You must change Range("FS3:FS33") to whatever range you want to affect this change.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) '<<delete the "Selection" from the name of event
If Intersect(Target, Range("FS3:FS33")) Is Nothing Then
'Do nothing '
Else
Call hithere3
End If
End Sub
Finally figured it out, the following code works :
Private Sub Worksheet_calculate()
If Range("FS3:FS33") Is Nothing Then
'Do nothing'
Else
Call hithere3
End If
End Sub

Macro that automatically formats cell when value is entered. (convert macro to the event macro?)

I've got a spreadsheet, where I'd like A:A range to be formatted automatically so that characters will show in red and digits stay the same color. The following macro seems to work OK, but I need to manually run it every time I change value in the cell:
Sub Red_text()
Dim i As Integer
Dim MyString As String
MyString = ActiveCell.Value
For i = 1 To Len(MyString)
If IsNumeric(Mid(MyString, i, 1)) = False Then
ActiveCell.Characters(i, 1).Font.Color = RGB(247, 66, 66)
End If
Next i
End Sub
So basically I need to change it into an event macro that will reformat the current cell every time it is edited. And limit this behavior to A:A range.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
First a slight change to your macro:
Sub Red_text(r As Range)
Dim i As Integer
Dim MyString As String
MyString = r.Value
For i = 1 To Len(MyString)
If IsNumeric(Mid(MyString, i, 1)) = False Then
r.Characters(i, 1).Font.Color = RGB(247, 66, 66)
End If
Next i
End Sub
and also include the following event macro in the worksheet code area:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim A As Range
Set A = Range("A:A")
If Intersect(A, Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Call Red_text(Target)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
The event macro detects entries to column A and then applies formatting.
EDIT#1:
The event macro must change to handle more than one cell at a time. Remove the original event macro and use this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim A As Range, rBIG As Range, r As Range
Set A = Range("A:A")
Set rBIG = Intersect(A, Target)
If rBIG Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In rBIG
Call Red_text(r)
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

How to run VBA code when cell contents are changed via formula

The code below works fine when I manually update column I. What I need is to know if there is a way to still have this code work when I have column I updated by a formula.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
With Target
If .Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Range("I3:I30"), .Cells) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Offset(0, -1).ClearContents
Else
With .Offset(0, -1)
.NumberFormat = "m/d/yy h:mm"
.Value = Now
End With
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End With
End Sub
Worksheet_Change does not fire in responce to a formula update.
See Excel help for Worksheet_Change
Occurs when cells on the worksheet are changed by the user or by an external link.
You could maybe achieve what you want with the Worksheet_Calculate event.
Assuming you want to put a time stamp next to the cells when those vall values change, try this (in addition to your Change event).
Note the use of the Static variable to track previous values, since Calculate event does nopt provide a Target parameter like Change does. This method may not be robust enough since Static's get reset if you break vba execution (eg on an unhandled error). If you want it more robust, consider saving previous values on another (hidden) sheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim rng As Range, cl As Range
Static OldData As Variant
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set rng = Me.Range("I3:I30")
If IsEmpty(OldData) Then
OldData = rng.Value
End If
For Each cl In rng.Cells
If Len(cl) = 0 Then
cl.Offset(0, -1).ClearContents
Else
If cl.Value <> OldData(cl.Row - rng.Row + 1, 1) Then
With cl.Offset(0, -1)
.NumberFormat = "m/d/yy h:mm:ss"
.Value = Now
End With
End If
End If
Next
OldData = rng.Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Update
Tested routine on sample sheet, all works as expected
Sample file contains the same code repeated on 25 sheets, and range to time stamp is 10000 rows long.
To avoid repeating the code, use the Workbook_ events. To minimise run time use variant arrays for the loop.
Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim rng As Range
Dim NewData As Variant
Dim i As Long
Static OldData As Variant
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set rng = Sh.Range("B2:C10000") ' <-- notice range includes date column
NewData = rng
If IsEmpty(OldData) Then
OldData = rng.Value
End If
For i = LBound(NewData, 1) To UBound(NewData, 1)
If Len(NewData(i, 1)) = 0 And Len(NewData(i, 2)) > 0 Then
rng.Cells(i, 2).ClearContents
Else
If NewData(i, 1) <> OldData(i, 1) Then
With rng.Cells(i, 2)
.NumberFormat = "m/d/yy -- h:mm:ss"
.Value = Now
End With
End If
End If
Next
OldData = rng.Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
'Activate date population on cell change
With Target
If .Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Sh.Range("B2:B10000"), .Cells) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Offset(0, 1).ClearContents
Else
'Populate date and time in column c
With .Offset(0, 1)
.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy -- hh:mm:ss"
.Value = Now
End With
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End With
End Sub
