I'm looking for a macro which will copy any cell in column A if that has value in column B in the same row, e.g if A14="zois" copy "zois" to B14.
I have this code but most of the times when a blank cell in A take a value not copied in B.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, [A1]) Is Nothing Then
[b1:B100] = [a1:a100].Value
End If
End Sub
Whatever you enter in column A will be copied to column B (even blanks!!)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim A As Range, intr As Range, r As Range
Set A = Range("A:A")
Set intr = Intersect(A, Target)
If intr Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In intr
r.Copy r.Offset(0, 1)
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
EDIT#1:
This version will not clear the value in column B if the value in A is cleared:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim A As Range, intr As Range, r As Range
Set A = Range("A:A")
Set intr = Intersect(A, Target)
If intr Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In intr
If r.Value <> "" Then
r.Copy r.Offset(0, 1)
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
BE SURE TO DELETE THE OLD VERSION BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION.

I have an excel file that is actually a database that I update regularly. Each time that I do an update, I want to filter the data I entered on that particular day.
So I found this macro online that is really great for my application.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim C As Range, D As Range, Inte As Range, r As Range
Set C = Range("C:C")
Set Inte = Intersect(C, 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
It gives me the cell D the date of the day when I modified the cell C. The problem is, I only want the date to appear if I really put a text in the cell C. Sometimes I just insert a line, but empty in cell C, and the macro considers it as an event. It then gives me the date in cell D, however I haven't written anything.
I guess this should be a pretty simple line to add somewhere in the macro with a If Not IsEmpty(C.Value) Then but I haven't been able to put it at the correct place, since it doesn't work...
Thank you in advance for any help you may procure. And have a nice weekend all!
try
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim C As Range, D As Range, Inte As Range, r As Range
Set C = Range("C:C")
Set Inte = Intersect(C, Target)
If Inte Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Inte
If Not IsEmpty(r.Value) Then ' line added
r.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date
Else
r.Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Use SpecialCells to act on not empty cells only
And you don’t need to loop
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Inte As Range
Set Inte = Intersect(Range("C:C"), Target)
If Inte Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Inte.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Offset(0, 1).Value = Date
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Suppose I have a value in cell A1 and everytime the cell value of A1 changes, the cell on b1 counts the change.
I have a code it works just with A1(value)cell and b1(count on change) cell. i would like to apply this function on cell E2:E709 (value) cells and F2:F709 (count on change) cell.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Static OldVal As Variant
If Target.Address(False, False) = "A1" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Value <> OldVal Then
Target.Offset(, 1).Value = Target.Offset(, 1).Value + 1
OldVal = Target.Value
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
Try code below:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
' If change was outside range we are interested in, then quit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("E2:E709")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
' store reference to cell in F column for simplicity
Dim c As Range: Set c = Target.Offset(0, 1)
' check if cell in F column has any value, if not, then assign it 1
If c.Value = "" Then
c.Value = 1
' else increment it by one
Else
c.Value = c.Value + 1
End If
End Sub
Consider:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Static OldVal(2 To 709) As Variant
Dim E As Range, F As Range, r As Range, Intersekt As Range
Dim rw As Long
Set E = Range("E2:E709")
Set F = Range("F2:F709")
Set Intersekt = Intersect(E, Target)
If Intersekt Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Intersekt
rw = r.Row
If r.Value <> OldVal(rw) Then
r.Offset(0, 1).Value = r.Offset(0, 1).Value + 1
OldVal(rw) = r.Value
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
We use an array for OldVal rather than a single item.We use a (potentially) multi-cell IntersektRange` to facilitate changing more than one cell at a time.
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
i have the following code which would auto-fill the date in column B once i add value's in column A.
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
If r.Offset(0, 1).Value = "" Then
r.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date & " " & Time = "hh:mm:ss AM/PM"
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
what im looking for is to also add the current time to column C.
ok so i found what im looking for but it requires little modification where the date and time are being set.
below is the code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim A As Range, B As Range, Inte As Range, r As Range
Set A = Range("D:D")
Set Inte = Intersect(A, Target)
If Inte Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Inte
If r.Value > 0 Then
r.Offset(0, -3).Value = Date
r.Offset(0, -3).NumberFormat = "dd-mm-yyyy"
r.Offset(0, -2).Value = Time
r.Offset(0, -2).NumberFormat = "hh:mm:ss AM/PM"
Else
r.Offset(0, -3).Value = ""
r.Offset(0, -2).Value = ""
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
to auto-fill column E with date, instead of column A
and auto-fill column F with time, instead of column B
and if possible im trying to have the same process but another cell on the same sheet.
While you might look at using SpecialCells to do this in one hit rather than a loop, a simple mod to your code would be:
one-shot per range area method
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
On Error Resume Next
For Each r In Inte.Areas
r.Offset(0, 1).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) = Date
r.Offset(0, 2).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) = Time
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
initial answer
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
If r.Offset(0, 1).Value = vbNullString Then r.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date
If r.Offset(0, 2).Value = vbNullString Then r.Offset(0, 2).Value = Time
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
if you want to:
put current Date in Target adjacent column blank cells
put current Time in Target adjacent column blank cells adjacent cells
then go like follows:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Range("A:A"), Target).Address <> Target.Address Then Exit Sub '<--| exit if all target cells aren't in column "A"
Application.EnableEvents = False
If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(Target.Offset(, 1)) = 0 Then Exit Sub '<--| exit if no blank cells in target adjacent column
With Target.Offset(, 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) '<--| reference blank cells in target adjacent column
.Value = Date '<--| set referenced cells value to the current date
.Offset(, 1).Value = Time '<--| set referenced cells adjacent ones value to the current time
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
While if you want to:
put current Date in Target adjacent column blank cells
put current Time in Target two columns offset blank cells
then go like follows:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Range("A:A"), Target).Address <> Target.Address Then Exit Sub '<--| exit if all target cells aren't in column "A"
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
Target.Offset(, 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Value = Date '<--| set target adjacent column blank cells to the current date
Target.Offset(, 2).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Value = Time '<--| set target two columns offset blank cells to the current time
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
where the On Error Resume Next is there to avoid two distinct If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(someRange) Then someRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Value = someValue statements
Normally you would avoid On Error Resume Next statement and ensure you're handling any possible errors.
But in this case, being it confined to the last two statements of a sub, I think it's a good trade off in favour of code readability without actually loosing its control
I have a worksheet with values depending on Cell A. If a row in column A contains a value then cells from Columns B through H will be changed accordingly.
If Cell of Column A is empty I want to reset the cells from columns D through F.
I wrote down the following VBA Code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim n As Integer
For n = 5 To 75
Application.EnableEvents = False
If VarType(Cells(n, 1)) = vbEmpty Then
Cells(n, 4).ClearContents
Cells(n, 5).ClearContents
Cells(n, 6).ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Next n
End Sub
The "FOR" Loop is annoying, and making the Excel to pause for 1 second or more after any entry to any Cell, can anyone help me correct the above code to do what I need to do without the "FOR" loop.
You are using a Worksheet_Change event and you iterating through 70 rows each time something changes.. this is a bad approach for this kind of problem and that's why there is a delay.
Instead, try
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim n As Long
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If IsEmpty(Cells(Target.Row, 1)) Then
Range("B" & Target.Row & ":F" & Target.Row).ClearContents
End If
End If
End Sub
this will only clear the cells if you remove a value from column A => when cell in column A is empty
Try this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim i As Integer
If Mid(Target.Address(1, 1), 1, 2) = "$A" Then
If Target.Cells(1, 1).Value = "" Then
For i = 4 To 6
Target.Cells(1, i).Value = ""
Next i
End If
End If
End Sub
Give this a try:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rLook As Range, r As Range, Intr As Range
Set rLook = Range("A5:A75")
Set Intr = Intersect(rLook, Target)
If Intr Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Intr
If r.Value = "" Then
rw = r.Row
Range("D" & rw & ":F" & rw).ClearContents
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
It should have minimal impact on timing.
Use a range object.
The following line of code will print the address of the Range we'll use to clear the contents. The first cells call gets the upper left corner of the range, the second cells call gets the lower right corner of the range.
Private Sub test()
Debug.Print Range(Cells(5, 4), Cells(75, 6)).Address
End Sub
We apply this to your code like this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If VarType(Cells(Target.Row, 1)) = vbEmpty Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range(Cells(Target.Row, 4), Cells(Target.Row, 6)).ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
One final sidenote: You should use an error handler to make sure events are always enabled when the sub exits, even if an error occurs.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If VarType(Cells(Target.Row, 1)) = vbEmpty Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range(Cells(Target.Row, 4), Cells(Target.Row, 6)).ClearContents
End If
ExitSub:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Oh Noes!", vbCritical
Resume ExitSub
End Sub
You should disable events and cater for multiple cells when using the Change event.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Set rng1 = Intersect(Columns("A"), Target)
If rng1 Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
For Each rng2 In rng1.Cells
If IsEmpty(rng2.Value) Then rng2.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 5).ClearContents
Next
With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
For those that need to have data entered in one cell cleared (in a column) when there's a change in another column use this, which is a modification of Gary's Student.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rLook As Range, r As Range, Intr As Range
Set rLook = Range("D:D")
Set Intr = Intersect(rLook, Target)
If Intr Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Intr
If r.Value = "" Then
rw = r.Row
Range("L:L").ClearContents
End If
Next r
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
