Worksheet Change event not working after pasting values - excel

I have a code in Worksheet_Change
If a column 9 is updated then the column 8 will be automatically populated by multiplying with col 9 and col 11.
But when the user pastes the values in the column, the change event does not work correctly. Only the first cell in the Col 8 gets updated.
How can I overcome from this?

Try this
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Whoa
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Columns.Count > 1 Then GoTo LetsContinue
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns(9)) Is Nothing Then
Dim aCell As Range
For Each aCell In Target
aCell.Offset(, -1).Value = aCell.Value * aCell.Offset(, 2)
Next
End If
LetsContinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume LetsContinue

Offset clear adjacent cells option

I did a post yesterday asking how to clear adjacent dropdown lists when parent list changes. I was able to find a post, adjust my code, and get it to work.
Now the issue I'm facing is that I need it to be optional:
If the column 1 changes, then clear offset column B & C cells.
If the change is selected in column 2, then only clear offset column C cell.
Below is my code so far - it works when making the change in column A, but I need it be optional if I only make the change in column B, and clear the adjacent cell in column C.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count < 1 Then Exit Sub 'screen out multi-cell changes
If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub 'col2 only
If Not CellHasValidation(Target) Then Exit Sub '...with validation
On Error GoTo haveError 'ensure events are not left off
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
Target.Offset(0, 2).Value = ""
Target.Offset(0, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 44
Target.Offset(0, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = 44
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
haveError:
MsgBox Err.Description
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
'check if a cell has validation
Function CellHasValidation(cell As Range) As Boolean
Dim vt
On Error Resume Next 'ignore if error (no validation)
vt = cell.Validation.Type
On Error GoTo 0 'stop ignoring errors
CellHasValidation = Not IsEmpty(vt)
End Function
You can use a loop:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim i As Long
If Target.CountLarge <> 1 Then Exit Sub 'screen out multi-cell changes
If Target.Column > 2 Then Exit Sub 'col 1/2
If Not CellHasValidation(Target) Then Exit Sub '...with validation
On Error GoTo haveError 'ensure events are not left off
Application.EnableEvents = False
'loop to max column to be cleared
For i = Target.Column + 1 To 3
With Target.EntireRow.Cells(i)
.Value = ""
.Interior.ColorIndex = 44
End With
Next i
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
haveError:
MsgBox Err.Description
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
'check if a cell has validation
Function CellHasValidation(cell As Range) As Boolean
Dim vt
On Error Resume Next 'ignore if error (no validation)
vt = cell.Validation.Type
On Error GoTo 0 'stop ignoring errors
CellHasValidation = Not IsEmpty(vt)
End Function

Auto date fill in in Excel file

Can someone please help me with this code. It will insert the current date in H if I do any changes to I.
My problem is that this will not work if for example I fill in I1 with something, and then I drag down for copying in many cells at once. If for example I copy value from I1 once at a time in each cell( I2,I3 ETC) it will work.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
'Updated by Extendoffice 2017/10/12
Dim xRg As Range, xCell As Range
On Error Resume Next
If (Target.Count = 1) Then
If (Not Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range("I:I")) Is Nothing) Then _
Target.Offset(0, -1) = Date
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set xRg = Application.Intersect(Target.Dependents, Me.Range("I:I10"))
If (Not xRg Is Nothing) Then
For Each xCell In xRg
xCell.Offset(0, -1) = Date
Next
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
Thank you !
Avoid the unnecessary use of On Error Resume Next. Handle the Error gracefully. I recommend reading THIS once when using Worksheet_Change
Also you have If (Target.Count = 1) Then because of which your code doesn't execute. When you drag, the count increases.
Is this what you are trying?
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Whoa
Dim aCell As Range
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("I:I")) Is Nothing Then
For Each aCell In Target
'~~> Additional blank check for I. So that the date
'~~> is not inserted if the value is deleted. Remove this
'~~> if you want the date to be inserted even when the value is deleted
If Len(Trim(aCell.Value)) <> 0 Then
Range("H" & aCell.Row).Value = Date
Else
'Remove Date?
End If
Next aCell
End If

Decimal data validation using macros

I have a macro enabled work sheet in which i have data validations for columns where i want to regulate the data input. I cannot use regular data validation feature in excel as it fails to function as we copy data from other sources which is the case in my requirement.So i am implementing data validations through macros . I have a scenario where one column can input only decimal data. The conditions are as follows the input data is of length 9 which constitutes only 2 decimal positions. I have partly written a macro for this validation which does not work(When i make a invalid input macro is not triggered therefore no msgbox pop up) and i am stuck at this point.Please help me out here to find a different if condition for the validation. The macro i have written is as follows:
Set AffectedCells = Intersect(Target, Target.Parent.Range("F:F"))
If Not AffectedCells Is Nothing Then
For Each Cell In AffectedCells
If Not (Cell.Value * (10 ^ 2) Mod 10) <> 0 Then
MsgBox "The value you entered is not valid."
Application.Undo 'undo insert
Exit Sub 'stop checking after one invalid data was found.
End If
This needs to be pasted on the sheet code space for the sheet you want the macro to run on.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim xCell As Range, AffectedCells As Range
Set AffectedCells = Intersect(Target, Target.Parent.Range("F:F"))
If Not AffectedCells Is Nothing Then
For Each xCell In AffectedCells
If Not (xCell.Value * (10 ^ 2) Mod 10) <> 0 Then
MsgBox "The value you entered is not valid."
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
End If
Next xCell
End If
End Sub
Is this what you are trying? I have commented the code so you should not have a problem undrstanding it. But if you do then simply ask.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim xCell As Range, AffectedCells As Range
On Error GoTo Whoa
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set AffectedCells = Intersect(Target, Columns(6))
If Not AffectedCells Is Nothing Then
For Each xCell In AffectedCells
'~~> Avoid cases like IP address 10.1.2.234
'~~> Check if the number contains decimal
If IsNumeric(xCell.Value) And _
Int(xCell.Value) <> xCell.Value Then
'~~> Check the position of the decimal
'~~> Check the length of the string
If Mid(xCell.Value, Len(xCell.Value) - 2, 1) <> "." Or _
Len(xCell.Value) > 9 Then
'
'~~> INVALID INPUT: Do what you want
'
'MsgBox "The value you entered is not valid."
'Application.Undo
'Exit For
End If
End If

Create button to copy row from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2

I have Worksheet 1, with columns A to D.
I would like to create a button executing row to be copied to Worksheet 2, as soon as cell C in Worksheet 1 is populated.
I have no experience in Excel at all, so far I found and altered this macro code for my needs:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
Target.EntireRow.Copy _
Destination:=Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End If
End Sub
But when I try to create a button to execute this macro, it would never work. Could anyone help me solve this, please.
Is this what you are trying? Read more about Worksheet_Change HERE
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long
On Error GoTo Whoa
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
lRow = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns(3)) Is Nothing Then _
Target.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=ws.Rows(lRow)
Letscontinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Letscontinue
End Sub
EDIT:
If the code still doesn't work then from the VBA Editor, press CTRL + G to bring up the immediate window and type this
Application.EnableEvents = True
and press ENTER key and now the code should work.

Insert data in same row when a value in a cell is changed

I have code that retrieves information from SQL and VFP and populates a dropdown list in every cell in column "A" except A1 - this is a header.
I need to populate the "G" column on the row where the user selects the value from a dropdown in the "A" column.
I believe I need to be in Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) which is in the sheet object.
Below is something similar to what I want to do.
If cell "a2".valuechanged then
Set "g2" = "8000"
End if
If cell "a3".valueChanged then
Set "g3" = "8000"
End if
The code above doesn't work, but I think it is easy to understand. I want to make this dynamic, so I don't have too many lines of code.
I have already explained about events and other things that you need to take care when working with Worksheet_Change HERE
You need to use Intersect with Worksheet_Change to check which cell the user made changes to.
Is this what you are trying?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Whoa
'~~> Check if user has selected more than one cell
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
'~~> Check if the user made any changes in Col A
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns(1)) Is Nothing Then
'~~> Ensure it is not in row 1
If Target.Row > 1 Then
'~~> Write to relevant cell in Col G
Range("G" & Target.Row).Value = 8000
End If
End If
Letscontinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Letscontinue
End Sub
Try this
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 And Target.Column <> 7 Then
Cells(Target.Row, "G").Value = 8000
End If
End Sub
If you only need it to fire on column A then
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 And Target.Column = 1 Then
Cells(Target.Row, "G").Value = 8000
End If
End Sub
can you not put an if statement in column G , as in
If (A1<>"", 8000,0)
Other wise something like this will get you going:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.Value2 <> "" Then
Target.Offset(0, 6) = "8000"
Else
Target.Offset(0, 6) = ""
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Thanks

I had a similar problem. I used Siddharth Rout's code. My modifications allow a user to paste a range of cells in column a (ex. A3:A6) and have multiple cells modified (ex. H3:H6).
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo Whoa
'~~> Check if user has selected more than one cell
If Target.Cells.CountLarge < 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 500 Then Exit Sub
Debug.Print CStr(Target.Cells.CountLarge)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim the_row As Range
Dim the_range As Range
Set the_range = Target
'~~> Check if the user made any changes in Col A
If Not Intersect(the_range, Columns(1)) Is Nothing Then
For Each the_row In the_range.Rows
'~~> Ensure it is not in row 2
If the_row.Row > 2 Then
'~~> Write to relevant cell in Col H
Range("H" & the_row.Row).Value = Now
End If
Next
End If
Letscontinue:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Letscontinue
