Can A Worksheet_Change Range Permanently Adjusts Itself
Dec 15, 2008
Working on a simple worksheet_change issue for someone, the thought came, "after this code runs" it would be good if the TargetRange changed to no longer include the rows it had run on already. This way, if you later accidentally deleted/edited a cell that already had data, it wouldn't cause the macro to run again and do the paste job again?
when I use worksheet_change for something so simple to do, it prevents me from deleting cells.
When I try to delete the cell values from A2 (5) and A3 (6), they won't delete unless I delete the value on A1 (True).
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False If Range("A1").Value = "True" Then Range("A2").Value = 5 Range("A3").Value = 6 Else End If Application.EnableEvents = True Exit Sub End Sub
Is it possible to use a named range as part of the Target.Address in a Worksheet_Change event? For example, if I've named cell A1 to be XYZ, can I use something like the following VBA script:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = Range("XYZ") Then ..... End If End Sub
The above script obviously doesn't work. The only thing I can get to work is:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then ..... End If End Sub
I would like to be able to use a named range so that I don't have to remember to update my VBA when I insert rows or columns in my worksheet.
I have a spreadhseet where columns I and J (range from I6 to J300) serve as input cells, off to the right, 23 columns over in AF and AG respectively I have a hidden array formula (Index, match) calculating values based on input in either column I or J and several factors embedded in reference table in the same sheet. That works fine. I want cells in columns I and J to be interdependent, in other words, input in column I drives calculations in a hidden formula and I want the value of that calculaton to display in column J (in a adjacent cell input in I6 results in display in J6), but if I input value in J then this value will drive calculation in a hidden formula and display in I (let's say I is centimeters and J is inches). I have a code that works (I set it up as a try just for few rows) but only one code section at a time, not together. If I choose column I (#9) to go first in code, values update in J, but not the other way around, if I choose column J (#10) to go first in code, values update in I, but not the other way around. What am I doing wrong, I tried Target.address case, I tried Intersect ... is nothing then etc. They all work one at a time but not together. Here is the code as it stands now
I am trying to look through a multiple selection of cells (in Target range) and compare to see if these are Integer. I am failing to be able to cylce through the selected cells and check their value. I am sure it is VB 101 issue... but I am lost at cracking it.
apply a count to a sheet which adjusts when filtered. I have attached a sheet, but as you can see the filter is returning the incorrect count as it is including the rows which are not displyed
On sheet 1, I have dates in column A, then numbers under LabA through C. On sheet 2, I would like the contents of columns B, C, D to autofill when entered. However, I would like to display only the last entry. For example, Lab A (column B) is currently showing "7" in cell B6, if I enter a number in B7, I would like for sheet 2 to autoupdate cell B3 and display that new entry instead of the "7".
This used to (and on some machines still does) work very well, but all of the sudden on my work machine, it is incredably SLOW!! The whole program takes a list of tasks and dates, and creates a wall calendar from them. Then (the offending part, below in code) looks at each cell on the wall calendar and formats it by sizing the height of a merged cell so that the entire task is displayed, then goes on to put a square around it (works fine).
The formating of the cell height/width can take up to 11 SECONDS each cell. What is happening to do this? Again, it USED to, and on some machines still does, FLY through this process. But now it just crawls. Code below, with the 3 offending lines identified.
Private Sub Fit_Height(ByVal Target As Range) Dim NewRwHt As Single Dim cWdth As Single, MrgeWdth As Single Dim c As Range, cc As Range Dim ma As Range
Application. ScreenUpdating = False With Target If .MergeCells And .WrapText Then Set c = Target.Cells(1, 1) cWdth = c.ColumnWidth Set ma = c.MergeArea For Each cc In ma.Cells MrgeWdth = MrgeWdth + cc.ColumnWidth Next
An additional item (clue?) is that, after the macro is done running, it is still unbearably slow to do anything on-screen. Grabbing the column header and changing the column width takes 5 seconds or so before it snaps to the desired width and displays correctly. Closing Excel and reopening it takes care of that problem.
More advancement (as I wait). It seems to be the Application.PageSetup that kills it. As soon as I hit the first Application.PageSetup line, the app grinds to a halt, and almost every line after that that manipulates the screen format or the page format takes 5 or so seconds EACH to process. I put them all at the end, but that really doesn't solve the problem, nor explain it, nor give me a true solution.
I'm trying to come up with a histogram chart that adjusts Bin Size based on user input. I've come up with the formulas for Bins and Frequency, but am struggling when it comes to charting the data to dynamically update when the user changes Bin Size. How to make the x-axis dynamically adjust with the number of Bins.
I want a macro in one worksheet to run when any cell (in a given range)on a different worksheet (dataentry) is updated. I have spent along time trying to make it work with no avail. The code I use to start my macro is as follows.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Cells.Count <> 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target(1, 1).Address = "dataentry!H5:IV72" Then If Not Intersect(Target(1, 1), Range("dataentry!H5:IV72")) Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False
I developed a timesheet interface using Excel. I am creating an setup-like phase for when the time sheet is first opened which determines file path names and what not. I basically I have 2 questions which basically tie into each other:
1. How can I ensure that the code only runs the first time the workbook is opened?
2. Is there anyway to store the data (for example the pathname to a certain file) without storing the actual data on a spreadsheet for it to be pulled from? I guess I could use a seperate file but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
I would like to link two cells which are in different workbooks / Files. Now this is something I already know how to do, however there is complication and I am not sure if the following is possible. I would like to link these cells so that they stay linked even if the file name of the source cell changes. I am not sure if thats possible or how to go about it if it is. This sort of thing is possible (although a different concept) in the Solid Modeling program Solidworks. Often times assemblies are created using a number of files. When the filename of one subcomponent is changed, or the file is relocated the final assembly will no longer work. So a method has been created to automatically update the link if the file is moved or renamed.
I would like to be able to do this in excel. ( I should note that I was only using Solidworks as a reference, it really has nothing to do with what I want out of excel, the data will not have anything to do with solidworks or its files, it will be simple numbers letters and formulas that I wish to link between workbooks)
Is there a way to permanently hide the toolbars and protect the workbook that when others open the document, they will not be able to view or have access to this.
I am attempting to run a macro that will make conditional formatting I have applied permanent, and then remove the conditional formatting from the cell. My application for this is a master fantasy football cheatsheet, with multiple columns of the same player names ranked in different orders. When a player is drafted I type their name in cell A1, and conditional formatting is setup on so that name (presumably once in each column) will be highlighted/bolded/etc. For example, if I typed "LaDainian Tomlinson" in cell A1, I would be able to find his name in each list/column (from the conditional formatting that will make it stand out), and then run the macro to make this formatting permanent (show he has been drafted), and remove the conditional formatting code, leaving the effects. I found a macro online to do this at the following link, but am having some issues:
When I run the macro on any cells not containing conditional formatting, I get the message: "The formatting based on the conditions in the range (whatever is highlighted) has been made standard for those cells and the conditional formatting has been removed."
This messsage is precisely what I am trying to do, however, when I run the macro on a cell with conditional formatting (when it would actually be beneficial), I get "Run-time error '13' Type Mismatch"
When I go to debug, the error appears to be on the line
I am tracking baseball batting statistics. The first column in each row is the player's name and the next column is the date. Several columns of statistics follow. I enter the batting stats game by game. I know I can use the SUBTOTAL function combined with AutoFilter to view each player's statistics individually totalled, but what I'd like is to see that subtotal line permanently displayed for each player.
There is a macro i wrote that assigns buttons to different tasks, and it changes the name of each button to whatever task the user utilizes it for. I would like for the changes to be permanent, and i can do it if i can just keep the information in the userform. So, the most logical solution is to permanently change the names of the buttons in the userform, but this has to be accomplished by the users choice, which means i don't do it through the vbe. How do you change a button's caption permanently through macro?
I have sent a data sheet template to my client in which they paste their data, based on this data sheet analysis will be done automatically in next sheet "Summary".
Whenever they paste product code, vlookup is not working since the product code contains few are numeric (shows: "Number Stored as Text"). I advised my client to go with "Text to Column" and "Delimited" to change it as numeric. But my client feels this method is tedious one. Is there any alternate way to make that column as numeric permanently?
With worksheet_change(byval target as range), is there a simple way to focus on only the row that has changed? Currently I have a 'do while' loop that looks for x until it is blank. That is causing a delay that I am hoping to avoid by only changing one row. Also, any direction on resoures that shed more light on the front half of macros (dim, range, where you want the macro to look and act, etc)
Can you have more then one worksheet_change event for the same worksheet and if not what is a work around. I have two that I want to use but only the first one works. Both work if they are the only one, but when they are both present the second one does not work.
I have a problem with the vba script attached. RoyUk very kindly helped me with this code a few weeks ago.
What I have is an example of some worksheets. I want the person to input into the first sheet their name & period and Y for whether they have checked the balance or not.
The problem I have is that if I fill in all those three details straight away it copies through wrightie, 5 and Y through all the pages. I don't want Y (balance check to copy through) as I need the user to manually input that.
It does work though if I put in wrightie, 5 and then check the other pages to see if it's copied through and then go back to the first sheet and put Y, it seems to work then.
I have two workbooks that have the following Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim myColor As Integer With Target If Intersect(.Cells, Range("v:v")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub If IsEmpty(.Cells) Then r.Offset(, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone: Exit Sub If Not IsDate(.Cells) Then r.Offset(, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone: Exit Sub Select Case Month(.Value) Case 1: myColor = 3 Case 2: myColor = 17 Case 3: myColor = 19 Case 4: myColor = 22 Case 5: myColor = 26 Case 6: myColor = 33 Case 7: myColor = 36 Case 8: myColor = 38 Case 9: myColor = 40 Case 10: myColor = 42 Case 11: myColor = 44 Case 12: myColor = 7
I have this code in 1 sheet in one of the books (and all other sheets work fine), and the same code in all sheets in the other book. Both books work the way it's supposed to.
My question, Is it necessary to have the Worksheet_Change event in all the sheets (all sheets act on the code the same way) or is it okay for just one sheet?
Could I encounter a problem if in only one sheet?
I just don't see why I would have to add more size with the code in all sheets if it is not necessary.
I currently have this code in my sheet, and would like to incorporate the second bit of code into the same sheet, but not sure how to do it. At this point, when I just put them together neither will work.
Option Compare Text Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Value = "Daniel Amaya" Then Target.EntireRow.Cut Sheets("Daniel").Range("A3").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Insert Target.EntireRow.Delete
I'm trying to find code (I can't write my own yet) that will highlight any cells that have been changed with fill color and bold font. I've searched around the forum and come up with the code below so far. It's not working - when I make a change to a cell and hit enter, it highlights and bolds the cell BELOW the one that changed!
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False With Selection.Font .Name = "Calibri" .FontStyle = "Bold" .Size = 11 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorLight1 .TintAndShade = 0 .ThemeFont = xlThemeFontMinor End With
Private Sub WorkSheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim response As Integer
If Range("AD2").Value = "1" Then response = MsgBox("Rental Agreement Does Not Exist. Do you wish to continue entering information for", vbYesNo) If response = vbYes Then MsgBox ("Add") ElseIf response = vbNo Then Range("E2").Value = 0 End If
