I have a very simple workbook macro for testing and it is not executing when the condition is met. Do you know why? Macros are enabled and modules are working, however, sheet codes will not work. Any idea why?
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$J$3" Then
Call macro1
End If
End Sub
And then I tried
if A1 = "correct!"
msgbox "hey"
else <do nothing>
If I adjust anything in cell J3 or putting "correct!" in A1 in that sheet, neither code will execute. macro1's code is simply msgbox "Hey". Any idea what I can do?
Thanks!
I used Workbook_SheetChange and it worked for me:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Sh.Name = "Sheet1" And Target.Address = "$J$3" Then
Call macro1
End If
End Sub
Sub macro1()
MsgBox "hello world!"
End Sub
I hope I'm understanding your post correctly, you want that once you modify a value in your worksheet at Cell J3, and the value in Cell A1 (at the same worksheet) is "correct!", that a MsgBox with "hey" will pop-up.
The code in your Worksheet_Change event is good, just modify the code in macro1 (which can be placed at another code module).
Sub macro1()
If Range("A1").Value = "correct!" Then
MsgBox "hey"
End If
End Sub
Option 2: using the Like operator
If Range("A1").Value Like "correct!" Then
MsgBox "hey"
End If

I am trying to write a macro where i can equate the name of a worksheet to a cell value.
So far i have only been able to extract name of the worksheet and put it to a cell value.
Is there a way i can achieve the above?
Thanks
There is already a solution to this,

Pasting code here for reference, just follow the link you'll find details
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Set Target = Range("A1")
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
Application.ActiveSheet.Name = VBA.Left(Target, 31)
Exit Sub
End Sub
You can easily achieve this with the Worksheet_Change event of the worksheet.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'note that A1 here is the cell that contains the sheet name. Adjust it to your needs.
If Target.Address(False, False) = "A1" Then
Target.Parent.Name = Target.Text
End If
End Sub
Every time the value of A1 changes, the worksheet name changes accordingly.
Note this procedure has to be in a worksheet scope not within a module.
It can be useful to implement an error handling for not allowed or empty sheet names.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'note that A1 here is the cell that contains the sheet name. Adjust it to your needs.
If Target.Address(False, False) = "A1" And Target.Text <> vbNullString Then
On Error GoTo ERR_NO_RENAME
Target.Parent.Name = Target.Text
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Exit Sub
ERR_NO_RENAME:
If Err Then MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, Err.Number, Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext
End Sub
I am completely new to VBA and hence have no idea what I'm doing...
Below is the description of my problem and also the code in question.
What I originally wanted to do was this:
Copy a clicked cell, Select new sheet, Select any cell, Paste as values
Now i found a code that apparently does the trick which is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns("A")) Is Nothing Then
Cancel = True
If Target.Row > 1 And Len(Target.Value) Then Worksheets("S11").Range("C2").Value = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
I say "apparently" as I am not able to test it. Here is the problem:
I saved the workbook as excel macro-enabled workbook
Clicked ALT Q - to go back to my workbook
I then ALT F8 to run it - but there is nothing there... blank....
what am I missing?
In a module, have the macro you wish to use.
public sub mymacro(r as excel.range)
If Not Intersect(r, Columns("A")) Is Nothing Then
If r.Row > 1 And Len(r.Value) Then Worksheets("S11").Range("C2").Value= r.Value
End If
end sub
public sub wbtest()
mymacro activecell
end sub
and use like so
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns("A")) Is Nothing then
mymacro target
end if
end sub
SOLVED: FOUND MY OWN WORKSHEET ERROR
The problem I was having was trying to use two worksheet_change events in the same workbook. Because I thought that was possible, I was just renaming the worksheet event in question when I received an error, thinking nothing of it. Both my original code and the answer provided work, when combined with my other worksheet_change event.
Thanks everyone.
Original Request:
I am trying to run a macro that does this:
every time cell r6 changes, run a macro that looks to see if the value in cell s9 is > or < 1, then format cells s9:t100 based on that.
I have the macro on its own to do the second part:
sub macro1()
If Range("S9").Value < 1 Then
Range("S9:S100,T9:T100").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "0.0%"
Else
Range("S9:S100,T9:T100").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "#,##0"
End If
end sub
This macro run on its own, works exactly as I want and formats the cells.
Then I have the worksheet event to call up that macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$R$6" Then
Call Macro1
End If
End Sub
When it is run to call up the same macro, it does not format the cells. They just stay as a % regardless of when cell r6 changes.
Any ideas why the worksheet event causes the macro to not work?
Try passing the worksheet object to your macro. This fully qualifies the Ranges to make sure you're working on the right area.
Also, you don't need to Select at all. Just use the range and directly change the settings.
Public Sub Macro1(ws as Worksheet)
If ws.Range("S9").Value < 1 Then
ws.Range("S9:S100,T9:T100").NumberFormat = "0.0%"
Else
ws.Range("S9:S100,T9:T100").NumberFormat = "#,##0"
End If
end sub
Sub test()
Macro1 ActiveSheet
End Sub
And in your Worksheet_Change...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$R$6" Then
Macro1 Target.Worksheet
End If
End Sub
I am working on a file which in one sheet lets call it summary, I have formula that calculate the values which Ienter manually in other sheets, so I want to have an vba code to notify me by pop up message that the calculation result in summary sheet is <=0 when doing data entry in other sheets.
I have found below code which works fine with only one cell but if I want to extend it to other cells in the same row results in error. Suppose I want to extend it to B9:CZ9.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Me.Range("B9").Value <= 0 Then _
MsgBox "Leave is finished!"
End Sub
Possible background:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
With Me.Range("B9:CZ9")
If Application.CountIf(.Cells, "<=0") = .Cells.Count Then _
MsgBox "Leave is finished!"
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim RNG As Range
Set RNG = Selection
For Each c In RNG
If c.Value <= 0 Then
MsgBox "Leave is finished!"
End If
Next c
End Sub
If I understood you correctly, maybe this code helps you (you have to put this code to the source of the correct worksheet you want to work this code on):
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim leave As Boolean: leave = False
For Each c In Me.Range("B9:CZ9").Cells
If c.Value <= 0 Then: leave = True
Next
If leave Then: MsgBox "Leave is finished!"
End Sub
This code works when something is calculated in a cell, for example when you type =0 into any of them, and don't give you lots of messageboxes.
If you want this to work when anything changes, use Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Remember that extension xlsx cannot contain VBA codes. Therefore after implementing the code to the worksheet you want this code works on, you have to save it as macro-enabled workbook.
I have a macro which is executed on the striking of ctrl-u - I would like that macro to AUTOMATICALLY execute everytime a number gt > 0 is entered into A2 is there an easy way to do that?
You could call the macro when the cell content changes. Open Excel's the Visual Basic editor, and add something like this to the sheet where you want the macro to run automatically:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Column 1 is the A column
If Target.Column = 1 And Target.Row = 2 Then
If Target.Value > 0 Then
' call macro here
MyMacroName
End If
End If
End Sub
An even easier solution is. Place this in the "ThisWorkBook" module
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Range("A2").Address and Target.Value >0 Then
' do something here
MsgBox "This works!"
End If
End Sub
