I have this macro which takes data from the Clipboard and paste it into an specific cell transposing some information.
Sub UpdateData()
'~~> Change this to the relevant sheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
With ws
'~~> Using this as you are copying it from Notepad~~~~
.Activate
.Range("H1").Select
.PasteSpecial Format:="Text", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("H1" & ",H3").Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial Transpose:=True
'~~Clear data content~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Range("H1:H10").ClearContents
End With
End Sub
I need this macro to update the cell B next to the line updated (C) with the NOW formula.
I have this other macro which updates the Row B whenever the Row C is updated, but they're not working together.
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.MoveAfterReturn = True
If Target.Count = 1 Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C1:C1000")) Is Nothing Then
Cells(Target.Row, "B") = Now
End If
End If
End Sub
Any ideas on how should I do it?
The Target is the cell or cells that have changed and triggered the Worksheet_Change event macro. In your case, this is multiple cells so you have to deal with each individually.
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.MoveAfterReturn = True
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C1:C1000")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo bm_Safe_Exit
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Intersect(Target, Range("C1:C1000"))
Cells(c.Row, "B") = Now
Next c
End If
bm_Safe_Exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Turn off event handling while you are changing data (adding a timerstamp) to the worksheet or you will trigger the Worksheet_Change to run on top of itself.
After determining that one or more cells in the C1:C1000 range has been altered, the For Each ... Next Statement cycles through each cell and deposits a timestamp on that row's column B.

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'm trying to get an simple way of copy a value from a cell in one sheet to another cell on a other sheet based on cell trigger. I got simply a cell trigger event that calls a sub;
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Selection.Count = 1 Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C:C")) Is Nothing Then
Application.Run "Workorder"
'Application.Run "'my-calc2 - visualtest2.xls'!line"
'Range("A" & ActiveCell.Row & ":J" & ActiveCell.Row).Value = Range("Requester name")
End If
End If
End Sub
The sub I'm calling is
Sub workorder()
Range("Requester_name").Value = Range(ActiveCell.Row, 3)
End Sub
But this last sub is where I get stuck, what am I doing wrong?
First let me say that I am freshly new to VBA coding. My spreadsheet has 8 tabs(1 hidden and 1's a chart). Of the other 6 tabs, I would like the code to be able to run on them as well, I just don't know how. I have two sets of code and I am trying to combine them. They are event related codes. I can get them both to run separately but only on a specified sheet. I'm testing them on the "New" tab. The first code sorts the rows after the date is entered into column "H". The other code will cut and paste the entire row into the corresponding tab based on a selection from the drop down list in column "O". I created a call function for both however, only the first code will do anything. Here is what I have so far:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngChng As Range
Set rngChng = Intersect(Target, Range("H:H"))
If rngChng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Call AutoSort(rngChng)
Set rngChng = Intersect(Target, Range("O:O"))
If rngChng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Call CopyNPaste(rngChng)
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub AutoSort(rngChng As Range)
Range("A2:O1000").Sort Key1:=Range("H1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
End Sub
Sub CopyNPaste(rngChng As Range)
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
If ws.Name <> "New" Then
If ws.Name = Target Then
Target.EntireRow.Copy Sheets(ws.Name).Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
Target.EntireRow.Delete Shift:=x1Up
End If
End If
Next ws
End Sub
To run the same code from many sheets move the code to a module. Use insert->module on the menu bar, if there are no others it will be named Module1.
In each relevant sheet add the code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Call Module1.sortOrCopy(Target)
End Sub
Put the sortOrCopy sub in the module. I would suggest using the Target.column
value rather than Intersections to control the program flow.
Put the target.cells.count check once at the start. Pass parameters to your 2 subs.
Sub sortOrCopy(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Target.Parent
If Target.Column = 8 Then ' col H
Call AutoSort(ws)
ElseIf Target.Column = 15 Then ' col O
Call CopyNPaste(Target)
End If
End Sub
For the AutoSort sub the only parameter required is the sheet which will be Target.parent.
You can set the sort range rather than hard coding it using .end(xlUp.row as you have in the other sub.
Sub AutoSort(ws As Worksheet)
Dim iLastRow As Long
' last row of sort range
iLastRow = ws.Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("A2:O" & iLastRow).Sort Key1:=Range("H1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
For the sub CopyNPaste, pass the Target so that the source,row and destination can be determined.
Try to structure the code in simple steps by not doing too much in one line. If the code doesn't work as expected it is easier then to add debug.print or msgBox statements at the various steps. Comment out the If .. End if you don't want user confirmation of the change.
Sub CopyNPaste(Target)
Dim wsCopyTo As Worksheet, iInsertRow As Long, text As String
Set wsCopyTo = Sheets(Target.Value)
' find last row on CopyTo sheet, insert below
iInsertRow = 1 + wsCopyTo.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
text = "Copy line to sheet " & wsCopyTo.Name & " row " & iInsertRow
If MsgBox(text, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
With Target.EntireRow
.Copy wsCopyTo.Range("A" & iInsertRow)
.Delete Shift:=xlShiftUp
End With
End If
End Sub
So I am trying to find a solution where i can copy paste multiple values from one column into another column and have it leave out duplicates already existing.
I found this code but it only works if I copy paste one value at a time.
Is there a way to make it work so it will paste in unique copied values only, that does not exist in the column already?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Prevents duplicate entries in Column A
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column = 1 And Target <> vbNullString Then 'Column A
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns(1), Target) > 1 Then
MsgBox "Entry " & Target & " already exists!", _
vbCritical, "Dixons Travel Oslo"
Target = ""
Target.Select
End If
End If
End Sub
Maybe you find this usefull:
Below code assumes you just copy in all the values, even if they exist allready.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
End If
End Sub
It will look like this:
Change Header:=xlNo to Header:=xlYes if that applies to your situation.
Obviously, there are other ways. I just find this quite easy.
Using a similar methodology to your existing one, you could do the following:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each tcell In Target.Cells
With tcell
If .Column = 1 And .Value <> vbNullString Then 'Column A
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns(1), .Value) > 1 Then
tcell.Value = ""
End If
End If
End With
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Here's another way - expanding and improving on JvdV's idea:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target.Parent
If Not (Intersect(Target, .Columns(1)) Is Nothing) Then
Range("A1", Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
End If
End With
End Sub
This allows for multiple cells to be pasted - regardless of how many columns are affected and de-dupes the whole of column A.
You could try:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("A:A").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
Notes:
You could change sheet name
Header option
The macro offers the options to format selected text, which it does perfectly if some some cells are selected first.
However, the error handling is not working and I don't know why: if nothing is selected when I execute the macro, it formats the whole worksheet instead of showing an error message that requests a selection to be made. Any ideas why this isn't working?
Code from my UserForm ("UserForm1"):
Private Sub OKButton_Click()
Dim WorkRange As Range
Dim cell As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set WorkRange = Selection.SpecialCells _
(xlCellTypeConstants, xlCellTypeConstants)
If OptionUpper Then
For Each cell In WorkRange
cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value)
Next cell
End If
' code for the other options...
Unload UserForm1
End Sub
Code for calling the macro("Module1"):
Sub ChangeCase()
If TypeName(Selection) = "Range" Then
UserForm1.Show
Else
MsgBox "Select an area first.", vbCritical
End If
End Sub
I'm using MS Excel 2010. (Hope I didn't forget any relevant information.)
You could alter the userform code to something like:
Private Sub OKButton_Click()
Dim WorkRange As Range
Dim cell As Range
' If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 then (I corrected this to the line below, then it worked!
If Selection.Cells.Count = 1 then
If Msgbox("Only one cell selected - do you want to format the whole sheet?", vbyesno) = vbNo then Exit Sub
End If
On Error Resume Next
Set WorkRange = Selection.SpecialCells _
(xlCellTypeConstants, xlCellTypeConstants)
If OptionUpper Then
For Each cell In WorkRange
cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value)
Next cell
End If
' code for the other options...
Unload Me
End Sub
A Much Better Solution to If nothing is selected.
Public Sub IfNoSelection()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Activate your Sheet
Sheets("Name Of Sheet Here").Select
'Select your range without selecting the header (column D)
Range(Cells(2, 4), Cells(Rows.Count, 4)).Select
'This Line Checks if what is selected is selected.
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Selection) = 0 Then
Else
'enter code here
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
