I have a macro which prevents duplicates within the range A:H
But I don't know how to change the macro so it prevents input of "[name] [space] [surname]" more than twice. There can be a number of "[name] [space] [surname]" in one cell
Option Explicit
Option Compare Text
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range, cel As Range
Dim What As Variant
Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns("A:H")
If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then
What = "*" & Target.Value & "*"
For Each cel In rng.Cells
If cel.Value Like What Then
Target.ClearContents
MsgBox "Text already present!"
End If
Next cel
End If
End Sub

I'd like to add multiple criteria to this code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const srcCol As String = "A"
Const Criteria As String = "*high*"
Dim rng As Range: Set rng = Intersect(Columns(srcCol), Target)
If rng Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim aRng As Range
Dim cel As Range
Dim foundCriteria As Boolean
For Each aRng In rng.Areas
For Each cel In aRng.Cells
If LCase(cel.Value) Like LCase(Criteria) Then
MsgBox ("Please check 2020 assessment")
foundCriteria = True
Exit For
End If
Next cel
If foundCriteria Then
Exit For
End If
Next aRng
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
At the current state, this works in this way: if a cell of column "A" contains word "high", alert pop up.
I would like to add more criteria: if cell in column "A" contains "high" but ALSO if a cell in column "A" contains "critic", show me the same alert box.
I started from row "Const Criteria As String = "high", and tried adding "And", "Or", "If", "& _", but nothing seems working to add the second criteria.
Any hint?
A Worksheet Change: Target Contains One of Multiple Strings
If you plan on using exclusively contains for the various criteria, you can do the following changes:
Const CriteriaList As String = "high,critic" ' add more
If LCase(cel.Value) Like "*" & LCase(Criteria(n)) & "*" Then
The Code
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const srcCol As String = "A"
Const Delimiter As String = "," ' change if you need "," in the criterias
Const CriteriaList As String = "*high*,*critic*" ' add more
Dim rng As Range: Set rng = Intersect(Columns(srcCol), Target)
If rng Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
Dim Criteria() As String: Criteria = Split(CriteriaList, Delimiter)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim aRng As Range
Dim cel As Range
Dim n As Long
Dim foundCriteria As Boolean
For Each aRng In rng.Areas
For Each cel In aRng.Cells
For n = 0 To UBound(Criteria)
If LCase(cel.Value) Like LCase(Criteria(n)) Then
MsgBox ("Please check 2020 assessment")
foundCriteria = True
Exit For
End If
Next n
Next cel
If foundCriteria Then
Exit For
End If
Next aRng
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
I'm trying to clear a range of 5 cells when changing another. For example: H5 is changed, J5:J10 is cleared. This works a treat in clearing J5 when H5 is changed.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Left(Target.Address(, False), 1) = "H" Then Target.Offset(, 2).ClearContents
End Sub
However this does not clear the 4 cells below. I was wary of using a function to specify the range as I've got multiple rows of data in H. So for example if H24 changes, J24:J29 are cleared, which goes on for about 200 rows...
Any help is appreciated!
The Offset-function returns a range with the same size than the original Range, just at a different place. To increase (or decrease) the size of a range, you can use the Resize-function. So basically, you need to combine both functions.
I don't want to argue with you about how to check for the column, but I think using If Target.Column = 8 Then is much easier.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 8 Then ' Col H
Dim destRange As Range
Set destRange = Target.Offset(0, 2).Resize(5, 1)
Debug.Print destRange.Address
destRange.ClearContents
End If
End Sub
Be aware that Target may contain more than one cell (eg via Cut&Paste), you probably need to handle that.
This should do it.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Left(Target.Address(, False), 1) = "H" Then ActiveSheet.Range(Target.Offset(, 2), Target.Offset(5, 2)).ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Okay with merged cells offset gets weird and even offsetting the topleft cell of the merged area (Target.MergeArea(1, 1)) will give bad results so we need to create the range ourselves.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.MergeCells = True Then
If Left(Target.Address(, False), 1) = "H" Then ActiveSheet.Range(Target.Offset(0, 2), ActiveSheet.Cells(Target.MergeArea(1, 1).Row + 5, Target.MergeArea(1, 1).Offset(0, 2).Column)).ClearContents
Else
If Left(Target.Address(, False), 1) = "H" Then ActiveSheet.Range(Target.Offset(, 2), Target.Offset(5, 2)).ClearContents
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
I hardcoded the 5 into the row change if you need it to be the size of the merged area you will need to get the difference in rows from the top to the bottom of the merged area.
Clear Cells on Any Side of Merged Cells
The colors in the image show which contents will be cleared in column J if a value in a cell in column H is changed (manually or via VBA).
The Code
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim doEnableEvents As Boolean
On Error GoTo clearError
Const FirstCellAddress As String = "H2"
Const ColOffset As Long = 2
Dim irg As Range
With Range(FirstCellAddress)
Set irg = Intersect(.Resize(.Worksheet.Rows.Count - .Row + 1), Target)
End With
If Not irg Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
doEnableEvents = True
Dim arg As Range
Dim cel As Range
For Each arg In irg.Areas
For Each cel In arg.Cells
If cel.MergeCells Then
With cel.MergeArea
.Cells(1, 1).Offset(, ColOffset).Resize(.Rows.Count) _
.ClearContents
End With
Else
cel.Offset(, ColOffset).ClearContents
End If
Next cel
Next arg
End If
ProcExit:
If doEnableEvents Then
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Exit Sub
clearError:
Debug.Print "Run-time error '" & Err.Number & "': " & Err.Description

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
I have an Excel spreadsheet where I want to protect cells in column I if the respective cell of column H <> "yes".
I found a code but it will protect all the cells of column I.
Option explicit
Sub unprotected
Me.unprotect password:= "abc"
End sub
Sub protect
Me.protect userinterfaceonly:= true ,password:= "abc"
End sub
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Crow as Long
Call Unprotected
xrow = Target.Row
If not (intersect(Target, range("H3:H1000")) is nothing then
Cells(xrow, "I").locked = (Ucase(trim(cells(xrow, "H").value))<>"yes")
End if
Call protect
End sub
Try this:
Option Explicit
Const PW As String = "abc" '<< use a constant for fixed/shared values
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range, c As Range
'find changed cells in range of interest
Set rng = Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range("H3:H1000"))
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
UnprotectMe
'process each cell
For Each c In rng.Cells
Me.Cells.Cells(c.Row, "I").Locked = _
(UCase(Trim(Me.Cells(c.Row, "H").Value)) <> "YES")
Next c
ProtectMe
End If
End Sub
Sub UnprotectMe()
Me.Unprotect Password:=PW
End Sub
Sub ProtectMe()
Me.protect userinterfaceonly:=True, Password:=PW
End Sub
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
