I am new to VBA programming in excel and would like to know how to do the following (I have searched google and will post what I have tried here with sample code).
Column G, starting at G11 continuing to the end of the sheet, contains 2 values: either "Full Time" or "Part Time".
In column S, starting at S11 continuing until the end of the sheet, our accountant will enter a Dollar value. The Accountant wants the excel cell in Column G to block/clear out any data and have a popup message saying that "You cannot edit this Cell in Column G as the employee is Part Time".
I used this code, but it only works for Row 11. I would like this to work for every row in Column G. Do you have any pointers or tips? Thanks in advance.
I use the 2 events Change and SelectionChange
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If [$G11] = "Part Time" Then
[$S11].Interior.ColorIndex = 34
[$S11].ClearContents
[$S11].Locked = True
Else
[$S11].Interior.ColorIndex = 12
[$S11].Locked = False
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If [$G11] = "Part Time" Then
[$S11].ClearContents
[$S11].Locked = True
Else
[$S11].Locked = False
End If
End Sub
Try this out. I made some assumptions based on what you wrote, so if it doesn't quite fit your data, let me know.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As range)
If Not Intersect(Target, .Columns("S:S")) Is Nothing Then 'only do this if column S is changed
Application.EnableEvents = False
If range("G" & Target.Row) = "Part Time" Then
With range("S" & Target.Row)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 34
.ClearContents
.Locked = True
End With
Else
With range("S" & Target.Row)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 12
.Locked = False
End With
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As range)
If Not Intersect(Target, .Columns("S:S")) Is Nothing Then 'only do this if column S is changed
Application.EnableEvents = False
If range("G" & Target.Row) = "Part Time" Then
With range("S" & Target.Row)
.ClearContents
.Locked = True
End With
Else
range("S" & Target.Row).Locked = False
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

I need help with Excel VBA code.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If LCase(Target.Value) = "-1" Then
With Target.EntireRow.ClearContents
End With
End If
End If
If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If LCase(Target.Value) = "1000" Then
With Target.EntireRow
.Copy Sheets("Week Schedule").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.Delete
End With
End If
End If
End Sub
If the third column we enter -1 it will clear the row. If we enter 1000 it will be copied to another sheet and deleted from the current sheet.
The above code is working fine. Instead of clearing row data, I want to delete that row.
So added
Line 4 With Target.EntireRow.ClearContents to With Target.EntireRow.Delete
But it shows an error.
It would help to know what error you get. Assuming the error is caused because the Week Schedule sheet does not exist, you can add a check for that. After that, your code works fine:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If LCase(Target.Value) = "-1" Then
With Target.EntireRow.ClearContents
End With
End If
End If
If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If LCase(Target.Value) = "1000" Then
With Target.EntireRow
SheetExistsOrCreate ("Week Schedule")
.Copy Sheets("Week Schedule").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.Delete
End With
End If
End If
End Sub
Function SheetExistsOrCreate(name As Variant)
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
If Worksheets(i).name = "MySheet" Then
exists = True
End If
Next i
If Not exists Then
Worksheets.Add.name = name
End If
End Function
Please, try the next adapted code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If LCase(Target.Value) = -1 Then
Target.EntireRow.Delete
ElseIf Target.Value = 1000 Then
With Target.EntireRow
.Copy Sheets("Week Schedule").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.Delete
End With
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
The above code assumes that the Target value means a number, not a string looking as a number. If a string, you can place them between double quotes, as in your initial code.
Of course, a sheet named "Week Schedule" must exist in the active workbook and must not be protected.
Advice would be gratefully appreciated. I am developing a spreadsheet using Excel 2016/Windows.
I have written 4 eventchange subroutines and all work well. The VBA Code for a worksheet checks for 4 events. Event 1, 2 and 3 enter today's date in a cell if data is entered in another cell (code not included below)
Code for EventChange works fine, but sometimes works when not expected to!
EventChange4 moves a value from one cell to another if another cell contains the text in Column J is "THIS Month – Payment Due" or "Issued But Not Paid. The second part of this eventchange4 moves a zero value to 2 cells if the data in column j contains text "not going ahead"
I am new to VBA. The problem is that eventchange4 runs for no apparent reason, e.g. copying a cell value in column H down to another cell in column h. How can I modify the code such that that eventchange4 only runs when the data in Column J Changes??? All advice gratefully accepted!!!!
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Call EventChange_1(Target)
Call EventChange_2(Target)
Call EventChange_3(Target)
Call EventChange_4(Target)
End Sub
Sub EventChange_1(ByVal Target As Range)
'Update on 11/11/2019 -If data changes in column L, insert
'today's date into column M
End Sub
Sub EventChange_2(ByVal Target As Range)
'Update on 15/01/2020 -If data changes in column P, insert today's date
'into next Column Q
End Sub
Sub EventChange_3(ByVal Target As Range)
'Update on 15/01/2020 -If data changes in column R, insert today's date
'into next Column S
End Sub
Sub EventChange_4(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
' this works !
If Target.Column = 10 And (Target.Value = "THIS Month – Payment Due" Or Target.Value = "Issued But Not Paid") Then
Range("K" & Target.Row).Value = Range("I" & Target.Row).Value
Range("I" & Target.Row).Clear
MsgBox "Moved Commission Due to Month Paid"
End If
If Target.Column = 10 And (Target.Value = "Not Going Ahead") Then
Range("I" & Target.Row).Value = 0
Range("K" & Target.Row).Value = 0
MsgBox "Moved ZERO to Initial Commisson and Month Paid"
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Ideally you should update your code so it can properly handle a Target range which is not just a single cell:
Sub EventChange_4(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range, c As Range, v
'any part of Target in Column J?
Set rng = Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Columns(10))
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
'have some cells to process...
On Error GoTo haveError
Application.EnableEvents = False
'process each affected cell in Col J
For Each c In rng.Cells
v = c.Value
If v = "THIS Month – Payment Due" Or v = "Issued But Not Paid" Then
Range("K" & c.Row).Value = Range("I" & c.Row).Value
Range("I" & c.Row).Clear
MsgBox "Moved Commission Due to Month Paid"
End If
If v = "Not Going Ahead" Then
Range("I" & c.Row).Value = 0
Range("K" & c.Row).Value = 0
MsgBox "Moved ZERO to Initial Commisson and Month Paid"
End If
Next c
End If
haveError:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
NOTE: this is assumed to be in the relevant worksheet code module - otherwise you should qualify the Range() calls with a specific worksheet reference.
All your "change" handlers should follow a similar pattern.
Tim apologies. I am new to this and was anxious to get a solution. Thank you for your response. Advice Noted. T
When I attempt to insert or delete a row in the spreadsheet, the VBA code identifies a worksheet event and attempts to run the code. The spreadsheet crashes. I have attempted to add code that will prevent this by checking at the beginning of the module if a row has been inserted or deleted before the other worksheet change event if statements are checked
Thank you

I have the following code to highlight in green the row which the user clicks.
In the end of the code, I select the cell B6 to deselect the whole row and move the selection above.
It is working fine except for the fact that cell B6 is also being highlighted in green and I do not want that. How can I remove that?
In the worksheet I have:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'If not in the table, exit sub
If Intersect(Range("Schema"), ActiveCell.EntireRow) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Call ClickInside
End Sub
And in the module:
Sub ClickInside()
Dim cellno As String: cellno = Str(ActiveCell.row)
Dim myRow As Range
Set myRow = ActiveCell.EntireRow 'I want to select the row in the table ONLY
Call Unprotect_table
Call MarkRow(cellno, myRow)
Call Protect_table
End Sub
Sub MarkRow(cellno As String, myRow As Range)
'Marking that row in green
Range("Schema").Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Range("B" & Trim(cellno) & ":I" & Trim(cellno)).Select
With Selection.Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0)
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Show above
If Not myRow Is Nothing And CLng(cellno) >= 9 Then
Range("EditCountry").Value2 = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("B" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
Range("EditNodeName").Value2 = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("C" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
Range("EditNodeId").Value = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("D" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
Range("EditParentNode").Value = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("E" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
Range("EditParentNodeId").Value = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("F" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
Range("EditActive").Value = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("G" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
Range("EditFrom").Value = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("H" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
Range("EditTo").Value = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("I" & Trim(cellno)).Value2
End If
'Move selection
Range("B6").Select
End Sub
Thanks!
Your statement Range("B6").Select triggers the event-routine a second time. To prevent this, use the statement Application.EnableEvents = False:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Range("Schema"), ActiveCell.EntireRow) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Call ClickInside
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
However, maybe you could have a look to other solution that uses conditional formatting, for example https://stackoverflow.com/a/22350417/7599798
I am writing code which compares date entered in one column to date in another column. An error message is displayed if the entry violates data validation rules.
Also, I have disabled cut-paste operation and ctl+d.
Data Validation rules:
Enter valid date between 01/01/1900 and 12/31/9999
Date value in Column AP should be greater than Column AO.
But, when a user copies a cell, selects multiple cells in the target column and pastes, then data validation doesn't trigger at all. Below is the screenshot:
The below code handles single cell operations like copying a cell and paste in another cell but not able to handle when a user selects more than one cell and pastes.
Please help me understand as what is wrong with my code. Thank you!
Here is my code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim lstrow As Long
lstrow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If Intersect(Target, Range("AP5:AP" & lstrow - 1)) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value <> "" And Target.Value <= Range("AO" & Target.Row) Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = ""
MsgBox ("The date you have entered is either not in correct format OR less than date in column AO")
Else: Target.NumberFormat = "dd-mmm-yyyy"
End If
ErrorExit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
Debug.Print Err.Number & vbNewLine & Err.Description

I tried the below code but it didn't work.
if Target.cells.count > 1 then
msgbox("Select a single cell to paste")
ActiveCell.Select

Can we evaluate two different ranges in the same worksheet_change event?
screenshot of the worksheet after the code is run:
After the line
If Intersect(Target, Range("AP5:AP" & lstrow - 1)) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Try inserting this additional checking:

Application.Undo
msgBox "entering many cells simultaneously in column AP is not allowed"
Application.EnableEvents = True

I have two macros altogether, one macro assigned to my Private Worksheet_Change event and the other assigned to my Private Worksheet_SelectionChange event like so:
Macro 1
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'If Hours Column Selected
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Z" & ActiveCell.Row)) Is Nothing And Range("Z" & ActiveCell.Row).Value <> "" Then
NewValue = Application.InputBox("Please Enter Your Delegated Reference:")
If NewValue <> vbNullString Then
Dim rw2 As Long, cell2 As Range
rw2 = ActiveCell.Row
With Worksheets("Data").Columns("I:I")
Set cell2 = .find(What:=NewValue, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not cell2 Is Nothing Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
cell2.Offset(0, 4).Value = Sheet1.Range("Y" & ActiveCell.Row).Value
cell2.Offset(0, 5).Value = Sheet1.Range("H" & ActiveCell.Row).Value
cell2.Offset(0, 6).Value = Sheet1.Range("I" & ActiveCell.Row).Value
MsgBox "Found"
Sheet1.Range("Y" & ActiveCell.Row).Value = cell2.Offset(0, 1).Value
Sheet1.Range("H" & ActiveCell.Row).Value = cell2.Offset(0, 2).Value
Sheet1.Range("I" & ActiveCell.Row).Value = cell2.Offset(0, 3).Value
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Else
MsgBox "Not Found"
Sheet1.Range("A5").Select
End If
End With
Else
If NewValue = vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Not Found"
Sheet1.Range("A5").Select
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
Macro 2
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Y" & ActiveCell.Row)) Is Nothing Then
myValue3 = MsgBox("This is a message")
End If
End Sub
The problem I have is when I click on my active cell row in column Z I am running macro 1 and asking it to update the value of my active cell row in column Y. However when the information in column Y is updated, it is causing macro 2 to run where I get a msgbox displaying and I don't want this to happen.
Whilst I still require macro 2 and do want the msgbox to display, I only want it to display when I click on the cell in column Y. So in other words, I want to be able to cancel out macro 2 if macro 1 is running.
I have tried using application.displayevents = false in macro 1 but this doesn't work.
Please can someone show me the best way to do this?
you can use
Application.EnableEvents = False
.. at the start of your macro1 to disable events and
Application.EnableEvents = True
To turn it back on again at the end of macro1.
Please try the following:
[1] Add a new Module to your VBA Project, with the following:
Public EventRunning as Boolean
[2] Modify your Worksheet_SelectionChange macro as follows:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
EventRunning=True
...
EventRunning=False
End Sub
[3] Modify your Worksheet_Change as follows:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If EventRunning Then Exit Sub
...
