I am currently running code that changes cell colour and value when clicked i.e. one click changes cell colour and sets value to 1, double click same cell to remove colour and number. This is to allow people to fill in a form in a visual way, and gives me the ability to count the "checked" cells. My problem is that I need it restricted to a certain range within that worksheet so that people can't overwrite other cells.
I have next to no coding experience, and the code below is a mix and match of a bunch of stuff found online.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Worksheet_SelectionChange Target
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target
If .Range("E4:K79") Is Nothing Or .Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Select Case .Value
Case ""
.Interior.ColorIndex = 40
Case 1
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
.Value = vbNullString
Exit Sub
Case Else
Exit Sub
End Select
.Value = .Value + 1
End With
End Sub
Solved.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Worksheet_SelectionChange Target
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target
If Intersect(.Cells, Range("E4:K120")) Is Nothing Or .Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Select Case .Value
Case ""
.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case 1
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
.Value = vbNullString
Exit Sub
Case Else
Exit Sub
End Select
.Value = .Value + 1
End With
End Sub

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
I have a column named "time" in my excel sheet. I want to write a code such that whenever user performs an entry in time column, if it is a whole number, it should accept, but if it is not a pop up should appear saying "only numbers allowed". Also, the validation should be dynamic i.e. should automatically validate next row if users enters a new entry
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = Range("Meeting Time").Column Then
If Not (IsNumeric(Target.Value)) Then
MsgBox "only numbers allowed"
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
End If
End If
End Sub
You could try:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'1. Check if the column that affected is B (change to the column you want)
'2. Check if changed field is one (used to avoid errors if user change more than one cells at the same time)
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns("B:B")) Is Nothing And Target.Count = 1 Then
'Check if target is numeric
If Not IsNumeric(Target.Value) Then
Call Clear(Target)
End If
'Check if target.offset(1,0) is numeric
If Not IsNumeric(Target.Offset(1, 0).Value) Then
Call Clear(Target.Offset(1, 0))
End If
End If
End Sub
Sub Clear(ByVal rng As Range)
'Disable events in order to prevent code to re trigger when clear cell
Application.EnableEvents = False
rng.Value = ""
'Enable events
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
EDITED VERSION:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'1. Check if the column that affected is B (change to the column you want)
'2. Check if changed field is one (used to avoid errors if user change more than one cells at the same time)
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns("B:B")) Is Nothing And Target.Count = 1 Then
'Check if target is numeric
If Not IsNumeric(Target.Value) Then
Call Clear(Target)
ElseIf Target.Value > 160 Or (Target.Value = Int(Target.Value) = False) Then
Call Clear(Target)
End If
'Check if target.offset(1,0) is numeric
If Not IsNumeric(Target.Offset(1, 0).Value) Then
Call Clear(Target.Offset(1, 0))
ElseIf Target.Offset(1, 0).Value > 160 Or (Target.Offset(1, 0).Value = Int(Target.Offset(1, 0).Value) = False) Then
Call Clear(Target)
End If
End If
End Sub
Sub Clear(ByVal rng As Range)
'Disable events in order to prevent code to re trigger when clear cell
Application.EnableEvents = False
rng.Value = ""
'Enable events
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
first you can create a range name for column you want your "time" and you can use the sample codes below.
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = Range("time").Column Then
If Not (IsNumeric(Target.Value)) Then
MsgBox "only numbers allowed"
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
End If
End If
End Sub
I have data validation as list for some cells (possible values are "Enrolled", "Waitlisted", "Cancelled"). I need to execute some code if the value of these cells changes, only if the new value is not the same as the existing one. Question is, how can I get Excel to compare the previous value of the cell with the current one.
I tried this solution (How do I get the old value of a changed cell in Excel VBA?) but it didn't work. What am I missing? Here is some sample code. Currently, it changes the cell colors even if I enter the same value.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim previous_value As String
previous_value = oval
Select Case Target.Value
Case Is = "enrolled"
If previous_value = Target.Value Then
MsgBox "you entered the same value"
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
Else
Target.Interior.Color = vbBlue
End If
Case Is = "waitlisted"
' (....etc.)
End Select
End Sub
Public Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim oval As String
If Selection.Cells.Count = 1 Then
oval = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
If you use something like this below code, you can save the most recent clicked instance in a named range and then check it against whatever the user entered. Obviously, this goes in the respective sheet code.
Private anOldValue As Variant
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If Target.Value = anOldValue Then
MsgBox "Same value!"
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
anOldValue = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
Here is the final code. Thanks #PGCodeRider for the help!
Private anOldValue As Variant
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
Select Case Target.Value
Case Is = "enrolled"
If Target.Value = anOldValue Then
MsgBox "Student already enrolled!"
Else 'code that needs to happen when "enrolled" is selected
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
End If
Case Is = "waitlisted"
If Target.Value = anOldValue Then
MsgBox "Student already waitlisted!"
Else 'code that needs to happen when "waitlisted" is selected
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 20
End If
Case Is = "cancelled"
If Target.Value = anOldValue Then
MsgBox "Student already cancelled!"
Else 'code that needs to happen when "cancelled" is selected
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 30
End If
End Select
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
anOldValue = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
I have a VBA like below but when i copy more then 1 cell i get a error because of the multiple selection.
Is it possible to make a action that the Case looks at the selected cells one after the other? Or do i have the wrong Statment?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("$G$8:$OA$92")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case Is = "Weekend"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 48
Case Is = "VRIJ", "ADV"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Select
End With
End If
End Sub
Loop through the cells in the intersect.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("G8:OA92")) Is Nothing Then
on error goto meh
application.enableevents = false
dim t as range
for each t in Intersect(Target, Range("G8:OA92"))
With t
Select Case lcase(.Value2)
Case "weekend"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 48
Case "vrij", "adv"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
case else
.interior.pattern = xlnone
End Select
End With
next t
End If
meh:
application.enableevents = true
End Sub
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
Thanks

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
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Letscontinue
End Sub
