Excel VBA script for finding specific text - excel

Question

So I'm adding a picture so you can see exactly what I need it to do -Excel sheet picture
So I have this script:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim A As Range, G, L, N As Range, Inte As Range, r As Range
Set A = Range("F:F,K:K,M:M")
Set Inte = Intersect(A, Target)
If Inte Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Inte
If r.Offset(0, 1).Value = "" Then
r.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
We will talk about only what we see in the picture: so now when I write anything in column F it gives the date in column G, I want that it will give the date only if I write "Ja" (Yes in German) or "Yes"
Simple is that. I tried to find any "if" commands for it but none of mine worked.
Hope you can help me with that
Thanks!

Answer 1

Here is a better practice to achieve that also you need to set Application.EnableEvents back to True when you are existing the method for the next time the event will be raised, also its not bad to make some "house keeping" and use error catch if something goes wrong:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ende
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set A = Range("F:F,K:K,M:M")
Set Inte = Intersect(A, Target)
If Inte Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
End If
For Each cel In Target
r = cel.Row
c = cel.Column
If Trim(LCase(Cells(r, c))) = "yes" Or Trim(LCase(Cells(r, c))) = "ja" Then
Cells(r, c + 1) = Format(Date, "dd.MM.yyyy")
Else
' do something else
End If
Next
ende:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

What about this?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cell As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("F:F,K:K,M:M")
On Error GoTo SkipError
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then
For Each cell In Target
If LCase(VBA.Trim(cell.Value)) = "yes" Then
cell.Offset(0, 1) = Date
End If
Next cell
End If
SkipError:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
