Get Cell Value Before Worksheet_change Event Triggers
Jul 28, 2007
In the worksheet_change event I am calling a method for performing some calculations. The method is called only if certain cells are affected. I want to know the cell values before the event gets triggered.
For eg: Lets say Cell A1: 10 Cell A2: 20 I select both A1 & A2 and click on delete. Then I want to obtain the values 10 & 20 in the method called. Is this possible? Currently If I do Cell.value it returns blank.
I run a web query from [url] to import the latest currency rates into Excel. I refresh the data every minute. Every time Cell B19 changes I want to run the following
If Cells(19, 2).Value > 1.27 Then MsgBox "buy" End If
I tried putting that code in the Worksheet_Change event but it only works if the user physically changes the cell, not if it's changed by a web query. So how can I run code that triggers when a cell is changed by a web query?
I have a Change Event macro that works properly. I also have several cells that contain a drop down list. If a user tries to enter an incorrect entry...the debug is triggered on my even change macro.
Here's the piece of the Change macro that has issues. Specifically, the .undo line highlights.
With Application .ScreenUpdating = False .EnableEvents = False
I have a Userform with a textbox1 and a commandbutton. TextBox1 triggers a code on the exit event. CommandButton1 simply unloads the UserForm. If a user enters data in the textbox, but does not exit and instead clicks the commandbutton to unload the UserForm, the exit event code is still triggered and then for some reason the commandbutton no longer responds to being clicked. I can't seem to find a way around this.
If the commandbutton is clicked, I simply want the UserForm to be unloaded and the exit event for the textbox ignored
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.
Bit of an odd one, but I'm sure it's probably happened before to others. I've just been sent a worksheet to redesign (an audit template) one which I'll be making use of data validation lists (Yes, No, N/A) a fair bit.
What I want to happen is that when the user selects from a list, I'll fire a Worksheet_Change event, which will then run some background calculations to set up the next questions, etc. Problem is, the event isn't firing at all. I'm using the following to test the event...
I wrote a simple script to show/hide certain rows based on the value of a certain cell on my worksheet (cell value chosen by drop down). When I left work last night, everything worked fine. When I returned this morning, the change event no longer appears to be firing. I'm quite certain no one else accessed the file to change the coding, so my only guesses are 1)perhaps some sort of system update was applied in the middle of the night and it messed with something or 2) aliens have blocked our technology in advance of their invasion.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) On Error Resume Next
If Target.Address = "F1" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Select Case Target Case "150" Rows("13").EntireRow.Hidden = False Rows("14:19").EntireRow.Hidden = True Case "330" Rows("14").EntireRow.Hidden = False Rows("13").EntireRow.Hidden = True Rows("15:19").EntireRow.Hidden = True Case "340" Rows("15:19").EntireRow.Hidden = False Rows("13:14").EntireRow.Hidden = True Case Else Rows("13:19").EntireRow.Hidden = True End Select
I'm trying to find a way to bypass a worksheet_change event. Right now, my code validates if a change has been done to a specific cell ("D13"). It works perfectly, too perfectly actually.
Here is the code I got :
First line of Module 1 :
Public bDeviation As Boolean
On Sheet1 :
Public Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
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'm using the following code. Basically it formats some cells in row based on the value in the first column of the row.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer Dim RowNr As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A65536")) Is Nothing Then For Each cell In Target If Target.Text = "" Then icolor = 0 ElseIf Target.Text = "Row Loaded" Then icolor = 4 ElseIf Left(Target.Text, 14) = "Row not loaded" Then
This works fine, except when I delete a row by clicking on the row number to highlight the row, and then right click to select delete.
The event fires for each cell in the rows, and takes ages to run.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this from happening? I tried substituting
I have a user who wanted a spreadsheet to highlight cells containing formulas whenever the formula was changed. (They want the ability to make changes, but want those changes highlighted. They do not want to protect cells with formulas.) I tried to accomplish this with Conditional Formatting but could not figure out a way to do it, so I turned to VBA. I wrote the following routine that is called on the Worksheet_change event:
Sub CheckFormulas(Target As Range, FormulaRange As String) Dim CurCell As Range For Each CurCell In Range(FormulaRange) If Target.Address = CurCell.Address Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 End If Next CurCell End Sub...................
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range("R1C1")) Is Nothing Then 'do something End If End Sub
Now, that Private Sub works fine if you change the value of R1C1 manually or from another macro.
But if R1C1 is the cell linked to a list box, nothing will happen if you change its value by selecting different items in the list box.
I have a macro that I would like to run everytime ANY cell is changed in a given worksheet. I've read some posts that explain how to do this when say ONE cell is changed, but I cannot figure out how to expand on that.
I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet used to calculate doses of medication. The value of several cells will depend on what optionbuttons the user selects.
I have entered the first two lines of code below w/o a problem to make certain calculations that are displayed in the specified cells.
I then tried to make an additional calculation to display in cell 6,9, but it always triggers a "Application-defined or object-defined error". For troubleshooting purposes, I moved that line of code directly under the other two lines of similar code that I know work, and simplified the problem line to just arbitrarily set the value of the cell to a value of 2 (instead of the actual formula); it still triggers the error.
I am currently doing an excel database of students application. I want a macro that creates a duplicate of a template sheet and renaming it based on the name of the student. Meaning once a name appears in the name cell, a sheet of that particular name is automatically created. At the same time, i want all the data regarding the applying student to appear the newly created sheet as shown in the attached file.
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 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 am trying to determine how to get the code below to fire whenever cell J10 is populated and do nothing when cell J10 is not populated but I can't quite get it. (Cell J10 is manually changed and is not changed based off of a formula)
I need to know the formula and/or codes to create a trigger on my excel worksheets to send email when an item needs follow-up. The workbook was created on 97-2003 but the outlook program I believe is a later version.
How I can create the email triggers. I am enclosing a copy sample of the spreadsheet I need the Macros attached to (I will need to know how to create/run macros with my spreadsheet. What I need is an email triggered to the sales rep based on the follow-up date. The email should include the quote number and customer name.
Trying to create a dropdown list to navigate to another worksheet . I tried iterations of the following code but am getting an 'object required' error.
If I can't assign the result to a string, how can I change the worksheet from the result of the dropdown list?
Sub DropDown7_Change() Dim temp As String temp = ActiveDocument.FormFields(“DropDown7”).Result Sheets(temp).Select End Sub
I have a workbook with several worksheets. One sheet ('Forecast') contains 12 ComboBoxes, which, on a Change event, run a series of macros to show the users certain information and provide certain options: protected 'Budget' or 'Actual' data from a hidden datasheet, or unprotected 'Forecast' cells that respond to user changes. In other words, I can't simply use a series of 'If' statements or VLookups with conditional formatting to get around the ComboBoxes.
OK - So in ordinary use, the ComboBoxes and macros are working as intended. But there is one situation that causes problems:
When a SaveAs command is used to save the model under a different name, all 12 ComboBox Change Events are somehow being triggered.
So what is it about a SaveAs command that triggers ComboBox Change events?! And whatever it is, can I turn it off?
(This happens in Excel versions 2000, 2003 and 2007.)
Workbook_1 has a UDF that uses a Range() without any sheet name ( Range("myRange") instead of Sheets(1).Range("myRange") ). Workbook_2 has a macro that deletes a sheet. When the delete statement executes, the cells in Workbook_1 try to recalculate and the UDF returns an error. If I use 'workbooks("Workbook_1").Sheets(1).Range("myRange")' in the UDF then it works properly when WorkBook_2 deletes the sheet. ('Sheets(1).Range("myRange")' still produces an error).
When I duplicated a worksheet in Excel 2007, I received a warning that "A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name ___" (an existing Name) and was given options. The Name in question should not have been relevant because I never intentionally linked it to the worksheet that was being duplicated, but apparently something happened at some point to create such a link.
I opened Name Manager and deleted the Name in question, and this invoked a warning. "Privacy warning: This document contains macros, ActiveX controls, XML expansion pack information, or Web components. These may include personal information that cannot be removed by the Document Inspector." I had no macros. Each time I attempted to save the document, I got this error/warning, even after disabling Macro Security completely.
It was still saving, fortunately, so I closed Excel and relaunched, and the issue seemed to vanish.
Should I be worried about the integrity of my document? Everything seems fine now, but I'm a little concerned.
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?
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.
