How can I show a timestamp in excel - excel

I am trying to add a timestamp when a change is made and I got the below Macro from a Youtube channel and I am getting an error. I am not sure if because I am using Excel- Office 365 and the video was made in 2018 but maybe you can help. Below is the code I am using and I get a "Type mismatch (Error 13)" for ("B2:AZ1000"). Do you know how to fix this?
Also, I wanted the updated time stamp to go into two columns and I am not sure if this is correct:
= Range("A,AB" & Target.Row)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myTableRange As Range
Dim myDateTimeRange As Range
Dim myUpdatedRange As Range
'Your data table Range
Set myTableRange = ("B2:AZ1000")
If Intersect(Target, myTableRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
'Column for the Original Date entry
Set myDateTimeRange = Range("AC" & Target.Row)
'Column for the date/time for the Last Update
Set myUpdatedRange = Range("A,AB" & Target.Row)
If myDateTimeRange.Value = "" Then
myDateTimeRange.Value = Now
End If
myTableRange.Value = Now
End Sub

You need to be careful not to re-trigger your handler when you add the timestamps, and you need to account for the possibility that multiple rows might be updated.
Here's one way you can do it:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rw As Range, rng As Range
Set rng = Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range("B2:AZ1000"))
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo haveError
Application.EnableEvents = False '<< don't re-trigger this event handler
For Each rw In rng.Rows '<< loop each affected row
With rw.EntireRow
'Range references below are scoped to the row,
' and so are *relative* to that row...
If .Range("AC1").Value = "" Then .Range("AC1").Value = Now
.Range("A1,AB1").Value = Now
End With
Next rw
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Exit Sub
haveError:
Application.EnableEvents = True '<< make sure this is re-enabled
End Sub

Private sub update date automatically when value in a cell changes

Im trying to automatically update current date in cell T when text in cell Q is "won" and a value in cell AM is > 0. I tried the code below and it is working if first the value in cell is > 0 and then you update the text in cell Q BUT if you do it in another way (first update cell Q and secondly the value in cell AM) the date doesn't appear in cell T.
Any idea, what Im I missing?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, [Q:Q]) Is Nothing Then
If UCase(Target) = UCase("won") And Target.Offset(, 22) > 0 Then
Target.Offset(, 2) = Int(Now())
End If
End If
End sub
Your code only checks for changes in Q therefore the update does not take place if you change AM first.
My solution has three parts:
use constants for the columns - in case there are changes to the sheet layout you only have to make adjustments here
worksheet_change: only check if one of the columns is affected then call the according sub - by that the reader of the code immediately understands what is going on here
the main routine that inserts the date if condition is met or removes the date if not (maybe you want to adjust this)
Option explicit
Private Const colStatus As String = "Q"
Private Const colValue As String = "AM"
Private Const colDateWon As String = "S"
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
Set c = Target.Cells(1, 1)
If c.Column = Me.Columns(colStatus).Column Or c.Column = Me.Columns(colValue).Column Then
updateDateWon c.row
End If
End Sub
Private Sub updateDateWon(row As Long)
'--> adjust the name of the sub to your needs
Dim valueToInsert As Variant
With Me
If .Range(colStatus & row) = "won" And .Range(colValue & row) > 0 Then
valueToInsert = Int(Now)
Else
'reset the date in case conditions are not met
valueToInsert = vbNullString
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False 'disable events so that change-event isn't called twice
.Range(colDateWon & row) = valueToInsert
Application.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
A Worksheet Change Applied to Two Non-Adjacent Columns
You need to monitor columns Q and AM for changes.
You need to account for Target being multiple adjacent and non-adjacent cells.
You need to disable events when writing to the worksheet containing this code to not retrigger this event (or trigger any other events).
It is good practice to ensure the re-enabling of events (by using error-handling).
You can combine the cells to be written to (dCell) into a range (drg) and write the stamp in one go.
Int(Now()) or Int(Now) is actually Date.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ClearError
Const sColsAddress As String = "Q:Q,AM:AM"
Const dCol As String = "T"
Const fRow As Long = 2 ' (e.g. 2 for excluding headers in the first row)
Const sCriteria As String = "won"
Dim srg As Range
With Range(sColsAddress)
Set srg = Intersect(.Cells, Rows(fRow).Resize(Rows.Count - fRow + 1))
End With
Dim sirg As Range: Set sirg = Intersect(srg, Target)
If sirg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Dim sirg1 As Range: Set sirg1 = Intersect(sirg.EntireRow, srg.Areas(1))
Dim siCol2 As Long: siCol2 = srg.Areas(2).Column
'Dim dirg As Range: Set dirg = sirg1.EntireRow.Columns(dCol) ' not used
Dim siCell1 As Range
Dim siValue2 As Variant
Dim drg As Range
For Each siCell1 In sirg1.Cells
If StrComp(CStr(siCell1.Value), sCriteria, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
siValue2 = siCell1.EntireRow.Columns(siCol2).Value

If siValue2 > 0 Then
If drg Is Nothing Then
Set drg = siCell1.EntireRow.Columns(dCol)
Else
Set drg = Union(drg, siCell1.EntireRow.Columns(dCol))
End If
End If
End If
End If
Next siCell1
If Not drg Is Nothing Then
' Prevent retriggering the event when writing to the worksheet.
Application.EnableEvents = False
drg.Value = Now ' only after testing, use 'dDate = Date'
End If

Execute Procedure when Value in a Cell/Range Changes

I'm new to VBA and wrote the following codes according to my data set. The goal here is to execute my procedure if a cell/range gets changed by pasting new data into the worksheet, most probably the sheet will be empty as it will follow by a clear content procedure.
However, the code is not triggering the change event, I've tried several codes from Google, but none of them worked. Please note that my procedure gets me exactly the data I want in the format I want, however, if changes are needed, kindly let me know.
PLEASE HELP
1. Change event trigger - stored under Sheet1
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Call LoopandIfStatement
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
2. My procedure - stored under Sheet1 below the event above
Sub LoopandIfStatement()
Dim SHT As Worksheet
Set SHT = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CB")
MyLr = SHT.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Dim I As Long
For I = 1 To MyLr
Dim O As Long
Dim U As Range
Set U = SHT.Range("A" & I)
If IsEmpty(SHT.Range("a" & I).Value) = False Then
SHT.Range("k" & I).Value = SHT.Range("A" & I).Value
Else
On Error GoTo ABC
SHT.Range("k" & I).Value = U.Offset(-1, 0)
End If
Next I
For O = 2 To MyLr
If SHT.Range("g" & O).Value = "Closing Balance" Then
SHT.Range("l" & O).Value = SHT.Range("j" & O).Value
End If
Next O
ABC:
End Sub

This will trigger whenever new data is pasted in any cell of columns A to J
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A:J")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Call LoopandIfStatement
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
Regarding your sub LoopandIfStatement here are some suggestions:
Use Option explicit at the top of your modules (see this)
Declare all your variables (you're missing: Dim MyLr as long)
Try to name your variables to something understandable (e.g. instead of MyLr you could have lastRow)
If you need to exit a Sub you can use Exit Sub instead of a Goto ABC
EDIT:
Added code for the loop and the change worksheet event.
Paste it behind the CB Sheet module
Some highlights:
When you triggered the loop on each worksheet change, it would re-apply all the steps to all the cells. You can work with changed ranges using the Target argument/variable in the Worksheet_Change event
To loop through an existing range see the AddAccountBalanceToRange procedure
Try to think and plan your code in steps or actions that can be grouped
Use comments to describe the purpose of what you're doing
Remember to delete obsolete code (saw you had a copy of the procedure in a module)

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Data").Columns("A:J").Copy

Same VBA code in the same worksheet for 2 different sets of table the first works, the second doesnt

I found the below code to input a timestamp automatically when one specific range has anything written and I wanted to do this in 2 specific places within the same worksheet, hence I wrote the same sequence, however the 1st works and the second doesnt, below my code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'==============logdate timestamp completed============
Dim myTableRange As Range
Dim myDayTimeRange As Range
'my Data Table Range
Set myTableRange = Range("E:E")
If Not Intersect(Target, myTableRange) Is Nothing Then
'Column for the date
Set myDateTimeRange = Range("A" & Target.Row)
If myDateTimeRange.Value = "" Then
myDateTimeRange.Value = Now
End If
End If
'==============logdate timestamp inflight============
Dim myTableRangeif As Range
Dim myDayTimeRangeif As Range
'my Data Table Range
Set myTableRangeif = Range("N19:R19")
If Not Intersect(Target, myTableRangeif) Is Nothing Then
'Column for the date
Set myDateTimeRangeif = Range("J" & Target.Row)
If myDateTimeRangeif.Value = "" Then
myDateTimeRangeif.Value = Now
End If
End If
End Sub
Just changed the code as suggested however the timestamp appears on the "A" column but not on the "J" one
When you change something in Range("N19:R19"), the Exit Sub is executed because it is true that Intersect(Target, myTableRange) Is Nothing.
You need to change the logic of Exiting the Sub if the Intersection is nothing.
If Not Intersect(Target, myTableRange) Is Nothing Then
'Column for the date
Set myDateTimeRange = Range("A" & Target.Row)
If myDateTimeRange.Value = "" Then
myDateTimeRange.Value = Now
End If
End If
...
If Not Intersect(Target, myTableRangeif) Is Nothing Then
'Column for the date
Set myDateTimeRangeif = Range("J" & Target.Row)
If myDateTimeRangeif.Value = "" Then
myDateTimeRangeif.Value = Now
End If
End If

Excel VBA Change Value in another column and row in range

I have problem in my code, i need to change in another column - row
I tried to built macro but it's dosn't work with that.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim xRg As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set xRg = Intersect(Target, Range("A6:U1000"))
If xRg Is "YES" Then Exit Sub
Range("G" & Target.Row).Value = "CHECK"
End Sub
When in column N6:N1000 is "YES" in Column G change value to "Check" and all row A6 for example to U1000 is in color red
I can't quite understand what you're trying to achieve here, but hopefully the below will be doing roughly what you need. Try it and let me know if it doesn't behave the way you hope.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim xRg As Range, cl as Range
Set xRg = Intersect(Target, Range("A6:U1000"))
If Not xRg Is Nothing Then
For Each cl In xRg.Cells
If cl.Value = "YES" Then Range("G" & cl.Row).Value = "CHECK"
Next
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Worksheet_Change(Byval Target as Range) [duplicate]

I am trying to run this worksheet change event for two different columns(A) and (I)...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim A As Range, B As Range, Inte As Range, r As Range
Set A = Range("A:A")
Set Inte = Intersect(A, Target)
If Inte Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Inte
r.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
This event is something i found on this forum. Its purpose is to make it so whenever data is ever entered into column "a" it auto inputs the date into the cell directly right of it. I want this to happen twice on the worksheet. I can't figure out how to change/add to it. I am trying to get it to run the logic for column A and I on my spreadsheet.
Just expand the range you set to the A variable.
Set A = Range("A:A, I:I")
Rewritten as,
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
if not intersect(range("A:A, I:I"), target) is nothing then
'add error control
on error goto safe_exit
'don't do anything until you know something has to be done
dim r as range
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In intersect(range("A:A, I:I"), target)
r.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date 'do you want Date or Now?
Next r
end if
safe_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
edited after OP's comment
expanding on #Jeeped solution, you can avoid looping:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Intersect(Range("A:A, I:I"), Target) ' define range of interest
If Not rng Is Nothing Then ' check it's not "nothing"
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) = rng.Count Then 'check for all of its cells being not empty
On Error GoTo safe_exit 'add error control
Application.EnableEvents = False 'don't do anything until you know something has to be done
rng.Offset(, 1).Value = Date 'write Date next to all relevant changed cells
End If
End If
safe_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
