Im trying to use an event change to change the sheet name based on a cell value, but my issue is how can I error trap if the sheet name is a duplicate? Here is what I have so far
Sub ChangeName()
On Error GoTo errhandler
Sheets(1).Name = Sheets(1).range("d10")
Exit Sub
errhandler:
MsgBox "sheet name is already exists"
End Sub
myColumnOne = Range("NPN").Column 'this is column B, NPN is a Named Range of B1
myColumnTwo = Range("NPCH").Column 'this is column E, NPCH is a Named Range of E1
using these variables I want to say
When data is entered into any cell in myColumnOne
first check to see if this same data already exists in myColumnOne
if it does then check to see if in the row where the data already exists, if the corresponding cell in myColumnTwo ISBLANK then MsgBox
if the corresponding cell in myColumnTwo is not blank, allow the data to be entered.
Example:
Col B….Col E
ABC…..xxx
XZY….........
Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?

Hide Columns based on Date value in cell (Worksheet Change event)Looking for a worksheet_change event macro that will automatically hide columns based on a value in cell S3. S3 is a data validation pick list of months based on the 1st day of each (e.g. 1/1/2014, 2/1/2014, 3/1/2014, etc.). I have date columns in row 6 from columns T through AQ. These values are 1/1/2014 (T6), 2/1/2104 (U6), 3/1/2014 (V6)....12/1/2015 (AQ6). I would like to hide columns that have a date in row 6 (T6:AQ6) that is LESS THAN (<) the date in S3 after the cell is value is changed.

Basically the situation I have is Sheet2 has many references to cells in Sheet1. Sheet2 is for all intents and purposes a kind of nicely formatted report form, and Sheet1 is the input form.
My ultimate goal is to automatically resize row heights on Sheet2 when cell contents change on Sheet2.
Using a worksheet_change event isn't working I presume because it doesn't see the formula output change as a worksheet change, the worksheet_change is firing only when the input is changed in Sheet1.
how can I capture these formula output changes on Sheet2 (triggered from input on Sheet1) OR is there a way of making a particular sheets rows always adjust in height to best fit?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have many worksheets in a workbook that need to be saved if a user changesanything on them.
These sheet names all end in "....SD" and the code needs to only run on those sheets. I have learned alot from the forum but not enough, just yet . . This is what I have so far:

If LCase(Right(ws.Name, 2)) = "sd" Then

It doesn't like the 2 "Then's". (Don't laugh - I'm trying.)
I have the following code what it does, is when a user changes a cell it copies the row to another sheet along with the userstatus. Problem is if the user pastes more than one column of data into the sheet it copies the row more than once depending on the amount of columns the user pasted . I only want to copy the row once.

Essentially I need to copy the first 8 cells in a row in one sheet (for example: A3:I3) when the word "Actuals" is entered into A3 from a drop down list. Then the copied data needs to be pasted to a another existing worksheet in the same workbook in the next available row. The data includes mostly values, but there is a formula in column H that creates a hyperlink out of the content in column G, friendly name in column I.
I am not stuck on the idea of having "Actuals" entered in column A as the trigger or change event and there will be times when a new copy/paste of the same data will need to be done more than once at a later date.
For further information, column B contains a serial number/productID number.
I want to change the fill color of all cells on my sheet, based on the value of one specific cell. In my sheet, I am using cell F1 as the trigger for the change. If the word Blue is in the cell, I want the background color of all cells to be Blue. Likewise for Red and Yellow as well. I don't believe conditional formatting can get this done, as all but the one cell (for this) will be empty.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to copy an entire row to another tab based on when a cell changes. The column where the change will come from in colum N. I am using this code based on what I have read on this board, but cannot seem to get it to work correctly.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim LC As Integer, iCol As Integer, Found As Range
iCol = 14 'column containing K
LC = Cells.Find(what:="*", SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns).Column
If Target.Column = iCol Then
Select Case Target.Value

In the end what I would like to do is everytime there is a change in column N, the macro copies the information from that row into the other tab. I would like the information to overwrite anything that is alraedy in that tab as well. So if someone accidentally putc in a C instead of a K, it will not keep that information in the wrong tab.
I am trying to capture the value of a cell before a change even. The attached Macro will report the value before the change but does not store it so that I can use it in another module. What I am trying to do is capture the value before the change and then look that value up in another worksheet (in the same workbook) so I can make the same change in the second workbook.
The values will always be in Column B and will always be string characters.
The code I am using for the change event is as follows: ....
My favorite question in IT was, "Can you recover the file I did not save?" and now I am basically asking the same question.
I have headers on one sheet tied to fields on another sheet. If the user changes a header I would like to display a message that says, "The header you changed, 'OLD MESSAGE HEADER' will no longer match the value on the look-up sheet. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE"
If they say no then the old header is restored. Is this possible?
I want to write some code if a cells comment changes. Worksheet change doesn't fire if you right click a cell and edit the comment and save it. Is there an event that does fire when the comment changes?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a formula that will change the cell color in a range of cells in the row. I want the color to change based on the information in a particular cell appearing on a different sheet. What sheet the information is on determines the color the cells change to.
Example: I have 4 sheets I am working with. We will call them A; B; C; and D. I would like the color of cells A5-I5 on sheet D to change to red when the information in cell A5 from Sheet D shows up in any cell in column A on sheet A. If the information from cell A5 sheet D appears in any cell in column A from Sheet B then the color will be yellow, etc.
I have a code where column K is not responding to a value being deleted out of column J. I've highlighted the portion of the code dealing with this. Deletion should trigger the worksheet_change event to clear out column K as it's supposed to. how to get deletion to take effect?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is part of a macro in a worksheet_change event. When a cell in column J gets deleted by a user, the corresponding cell in column K should also clear. But it's not responding to the delete.
It DOES clear when the other 2 criteria are met (.cells(1,10) = 0 and .cells(i,5) <> "Annuity"). The worksheet_change event should pick up on the cell deletion, but it's not. And column J is already a trigger for the macro to run, so I'm not sure what's going on. Either the trigger is still wrong, the isempty(.cells(i,10)) is not correct syntax, or this event just doesn't respond to cell deletion.
I have a spreadsheet control inside of a userform. I can generally access this spreadsheet and do what I need to do with it. My problem is that I need to monitor it for the cell change event. I normally accomplish this with:

I'm working with this code right now. The problem is the macro will only work if i type the numbers manually. if the values are retrieved from a combobox, the code above down not work as it cannot read the values.
I'm trying to create a sheet where clicking in a range brings up, in my users words, "a box I can type loads of comments in". They want some kind of flag in this cell showing if comments are posted or not. So far so ok, got the userform to pop up using the selection change event below and dump the actual comments somewhere the user won't look. A rather inelegant IF statement to see if there's anything in the dump cell gives them their flag.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B2:B300")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
UserForm1.TextBox1.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 10).Value
UserForm1.show
End Sub
So what's the problem? When I select entire rows, the userform pops up. Is this unavoidable?
