Stop Selection Change Event Firing When More Than 1 Cell
Oct 12, 2007
I've set up code where when a cell within a specified range of cells is selected, a macro will run. This works all well and good except for when a whole row, column or range containing the defined cells is selected, there is a run time error. There is no situation where I want multiple cells selected to run the macro, so I only want to run the macro when only a single cell within that range is selected.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("GoToRange")) Is Nothing Then
Application.Run "'Macro Test Current MY PFEP Metrics.xls'!PFEP_Filter"
End If
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("GoToRange2")) Is Nothing Then
Application.Run "'Macro Test Current MY PFEP Metrics.xls'!PFEP_Filter"
End If
End Sub
I want to be able to reset the value in a combobox, but without the combobox executing code, when it resets. Is there any way of doing this?
I have tried the code below but the ComboBox still executes when its value is changed.
Sub Reset_combobox() Worksheets("Sheet1").ComboBox1.Enabled = False Worksheets("Sheet1").ComboBox1.Value = 1 Worksheets("Sheet1").ComboBox1.Enabled = True End Sub
how I can disable an InputBox? I've got some code that whenever someone selects a cell in a specified range, an input box pops up (running a macro) - this can get annoying sometimes though if just browsing. Does anyone know a macro where I can "disable" this?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) With Target.Cells(1, 1) If Not Intersect(.Cells, Range("b3:b6")) Is Nothing Then Range("b7") = "Not Found" For i = 3 To 6: txt = txt & Cells(i, "b").Value & "_": Next For Each r In Range("m3", Cells(3, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)) For i = 0 To 3: txt2 = txt2 & r.Offset(i).Value & "_": Next If txt = txt2 Then Range("b7").Value = r.Offset(4).Value Exit For End If txt2 = "" Next ElseIf Not Intersect(.Cells, Range("b16:b19")) Is Nothing Then Range("b20") = "Not Found".....................
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 have a spreadsheet with a table of values in range E5 to T158.
A macro populates the table by looking up values on other sheets in the book. If the macro finds a value in the lookup for Row 7 of any column (ie E7,F7...T7) it populates the rest of the column with that value (E7 value gets pasted to E8:E158) THEN it protects the cells it pasted (E8:E158).
If the macro does NOT find a value for row 7, it simply skips it, leaving it blank, and continues to row 8 until it reaches row 158 of each column E to T.
I want to give the user flexibility with these values. So if the user either deletes E7 or changes the value of the contents in E7, I want to unprotect the cells of rows 8 to 158 for that column.
I have created a
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
in the private module for that sheet below. I thought it was working but it isn't doing anything when I change or delete the value in Cell E7 for example. Please help!
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Do nothing if more than one cell is changed If Target.Cells.count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Or IsEmpty(Target)
I ran this code last week and it worked great, but today it doesn't work at all. I have even deleted it, closed Excel and and started fresh. Is there some small thing I'm missing (like hopping on my left foot while entering a code) ...
When I paste data in Sheet2 in the attached CF Example2 file (Just by Selecting A1:L18 Cutting it and Pasting in the same place), the action of the VBA code in the Thisworkbook is correct but I am getting the 1004 Error Message from the VBA debugger saying "Run-time Error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error
I have used the code for formatting: http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-cond...ting-limit.htm. This works fine when typing in the numbers manualy but if I have a formula (eg:A1=b1+c1) and a1 = 15 nothing happens. Is there an update button or a better way to do this?
I have a "submit" button macro which user would click after he has finished his input. This macro would update a reference number on the worksheet named "orange" and then print out this worksheet.
My purpose is "orange" is printed out with a reference number.
Attached is book in which, when a choice is selected from Drop Down list in ColumnF the macro has to do the need.
When the macro was written it was working well. But when I tried to change it as a Worksheet_SelectionChange event nothing is happenning even though a choice is selected from drop down list.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) col = ActiveCell.Column Range("output") = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -(col - 4)).Value End Sub
In case it's not obvious, the macro places the value in the active row and 4th column of the worksheet into the range "output". The problem is, the worksheet is large and somewhat slow to recalculate. This macro forces a recalc on any selection change, but i only need it to run when the row selection changes, not the column. I'm sure there's a straightforward way to reprogram this.
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Dim WTH As Long If Target.Row = 19 Then WTH = 1 End If Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic Application.ScreenUpdating = True Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub If I comment out the code, my screen doesn't flicker.
In the "Tmp = 1" line I was using the special cells method to color constants red (without selecting anything). When I use that code instead of the "Tmp=1" line, it takes about a second to change cells, and I see the "4 Processors Calculating Message" in Excel when the code fires--even if it's not in row 19.
I am using Excel 2007, and I have a macro (that is working) that I would like to run whenever there has been a new selection in a dropdown list on my worksheet. I have done this many times before in other workbooks, and I have always used:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
End Sub
To my knowledge this should trigger the macro when the dropdown selection changes. However, this time it is not working. The macro runs fine manually, but it does not run when the dropdown selection changes.
I've got a worksheet_selectionchange macro on a sheet, and another macro that you can run after it. The issue is that when the second macro runs, it also runs the selectionchange macro, and wipes some of the info that the second macro should be copying.
Is there a piece of code that I can use in the second macro to block the selectionchance code from running until it's compelte?
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 try with what limited knowledge i have, if you dont mind take a look at the code below, i read your article and added the appropriate line, the code works fine except the msgbox has to be ok'd twice before it exits sub any ideas why?
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rng As Range Dim MyCell Set rng = Range("A2:A100") If Not Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then With rng For Each MyCell In rng If MyCell = "" Then MyCell.Select MsgBox "Please use this next blank cell" Exit Sub
button on main workbook opens 2 other workbooks and assigns a workbook object to them. the 2 opened workbooks are Activated in turn, range values changed and macros on these sheets invoked and results captured and pasted back onto the starter workbook. the macro is within a sub in a module as are the ones in the second workbook. An example of the code used is:
As part of a program I'm writing in VBA (for Excel 2010), I have a textbox in a user form used as an interface to write a formula in cells in Excel.The resulting value of a formula from a cell is loaded up into the textbox. It would be shown in the textbox like "See 1.2 and 1.3" where the formula in the cell is
[Code].....
This is just used as an example but the principle is there. It is worth noting that I’m writing this for very inexperienced Excel users but I need them to be able to edit the string part of the formula without breaking the formula.
However where I’m struggling is to pick up a selection change event inside a text box already selected. I need to be able to check if the textbox.SelStart is within an address value or within the string in the textbox.
The event Enter won’t work if the user is already editing the textbox (i.e. typing stuff) and then clicking or using the keyboard arrow to move the cursor somewhere else inside the textbox. I don’t think the event Change is the solution either as it would mean that the user would have already typed something and as a result the formula may already be broken.
I have had a good look around and I didn’t find an event for a selection change inside a textbox. Does it exists and/or is there a way that would have the same result?
I'd like to know if there is a change event that only occurs when a target cell is changed by the user, but does not occur when i'ts changed by a macro. nfortunately, the Worksheet_Change event occurs in both cases.
I have CheckBox1 (.Value = FALSE) on the UserForm and when I run my sript ... this change Value to TRUE and run the subrutine Private Sub CheckBox1_Click. I need block this step with using VBA code.
why this code does not work when the worksheet is changed between range "B1:F5"?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1:F5")) Is Nothing Then With Range("B1:F5") Cells(Target.Row, 7) = Cells(Target.Row, 6).Value + Cells(Target.Row, 5).Value End With End If End Sub
I've several check boxes on a worksheet. Some of the check boxes control the values of other through the _click event. However, when I try to change the value the event attached to the control in questions fires.
application.enableevents = False
would prevent events being fire from within the macro but this only seems to work when I step through the code.
I understand that I could set a global variable to do this and will probably go down this route anyway - but I am interested to know how/when I should be using the EnableEvent method (as I am sure this should be the way that I use it)
I'm having some trouble getting control ENTER & EXIT events to fire properly when having controls embedded on frames within a userform. I'm using Excel 2003, 2007, & 2010. Here's the userforms I'm working with:
With FRAME:
Without FRAME:
In both cases, the DESCRIPTION field is disabled. The selectable controls on both are a combo-box, textbox, listbox, & 2 buttons. On the FRAMED version, the combo-box & textbox are contained on a FRAME.
Here's the code, same on both userforms:
Code: Option Explicit Private Sub cmbRecipes_Enter() ListBox1.AddItem "ENTER - " & cmbRecipes.Value End Sub Private Sub cmbRecipes_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) ListBox1.AddItem "EXIT - " & cmbRecipes.Value End Sub
All this is doing is posting a message to the listbox when the combo-box ENTER & EXIT events fire. This works as expected without the FRAME, ENTER is shown when the combo-box is entered and EXIT is shown as focus is moved to another control. But when running it on the FRAMED version all I get is a single ENTER event recorded regardless of how I move the focus through the control set.
Another oddity is that if I have more than 1 control that can receive focus on the FRAMED version, it appears to work correctly.
I'm trying to protect cells based on what's input in column E. Here's what I tried, but it doesn't work. It's giving me a "Type Mismatch" error on the word "Annuity" where it appears first.
I seem to be lost in some macro-coding... I have this folder with pictures, and I want to display them as comments, by a macro. So far I have control. But then, if there is a picture that is missing, or if there is a cell that is empty in the selection, everything seems to stop.
the macro I use is very simple, but when everything is in place, its working:
Sub pics() For i = 3 To 50 PicName = "C:UsersEspenPicturesHus" & Cells(i, 1) & ".jpg" With Cells(i, 1).AddComment .Shape.Fill.UserPicture PicName .Shape.Height = 300 .Shape.Width = 400 End With Next i End Sub
Is it possible to make the macro run even if there are wholes, or if some pics are not store in the folder yet?
Is it possible to make the area "unlimited", as you see its now limited from 3 To 50.
And is it possible to make this run automatically, kind of checking the folder on its own to see if there is new pics?
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
Amongst the several sheets contained in my workbook, there is one called 'Inspection Report'. Users fill in whatever data is required in the other sheets, and once they get to this one, they are supposed to enter a number from 1 to 3 into Cell X1 (which is currently selected) before they select anything else. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to stop them from doing what they should not be doing.
So, I would like to have a notification of some sort pop up into their face if they click or move the selection anywhere else while Cell X1 is still empty. Something like a validation would be nice.
I have a simple bit of code that fires some code when it detects a change in cell $P$5 but it doesnt work and I cannot understand why - can anyone assist with this one? I am very green but keen:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$p$5" Then Range("D9:D81"). AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>" End If End Sub
The code below will put "Some text" into column B when data is pasted into column D. This only works when copying data into one cell. If I copy into multiple cells of column D then the code does not run at all.
