I need this code to work for all sheets:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Right now I've been adding it to every sheet one by one, but how do I just add it to the workbook so every sheet has it?
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
This worked for me. What I had to do was change my object to include the workbook itself. I clicked on the dropdown to see my available options which is where I found the one I needed.
Bad: Worksheet_SelectionChange
Good: Workbook_SheetSelectionChange
I am trying to call a macro named "RE_environmental" when the cell named "RE_1" is changed (i.e. they mark a X in the cell). I've tried several different variations of codes including these two and nothing is happening:
[The first code does work if I use the exact cell location and not the named cell. --> $E$62]
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "RE_1" Then
Call RE_environmental
End If
End Sub
AND
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("Name").Select = "RE_1" Then
Call RE_environmental
End If
End Sub
--Thanks in Advanced and please let me know if you need more information.
Use your first answer but make this small change:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Range("RE_1").Address Then
Call RE_environmental
End If
End Sub
Simple syntax mistake!
Edit: To stop RE_environmental from running once the cell is empty, put the code from RE_environmental inside a do-while (not isempty(Range("RE_1"))) as long as RE_environmental is emptying "RE_1". The user won't be able to edit cells while RE_environmental is running.
If Target is always single-cell range, you can use this one:
If Target.Address = Range("RE_1").Address Then
Call RE_environmental
End If
If Target can be multicell range use this one:
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("RE_1")) Is Nothing Then
Call RE_environmental
End If
What I am trying to accomplish is fairly simple. When a user selects a sheet, I would like a message box to appear. Meaning: I'm currently viewing Sheet1, I click on the Sheet2 tab and a message pops up before I can do anything. I can't seem to find the event that fires when moving to a different sheet.
Events I've tried: Workbook_SheetActivate and Worksheet_Activate
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal sh As Object)
MsgBox ("Example Message")
End Sub
Or
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MsgBox ("Example Message")
End Sub
I've done some googling and most things are about when cell values change or the cell selection changes.
This should work:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MsgBox "you never visit...you never call....you never write"
End Sub
However:
code must be in the worksheet code area
macros must be enabled
events must be enabled
You could use the following in the "ThisWorkbook" module to fire a message whenever you change sheets within the workbook.
Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
MsgBox Sh.Name & " activated!"
End Sub
This will solve the problem without having to add Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() to every worksheet's code module.
Here is a link to all the worksheet events available in Excel:
http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/excel/event.htm
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) -- (additional examples)
Cancel = True 'turn off Edit mode when using “Edit directly in a cell”
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True 'turn off Edit mode when using “Edit directly in a cell”
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False 'should be part of Change macro
Application.EnableEvents = True 'should be part of Change macro
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Doesn't Worksheet_Activate work for you?
You need to have the event in the worksheet that is being activated - that is, if you put it is sheet 2, it will fire only when that sheet is opened.
This worked in sheet 2 of my workbook.
Sub worksheet_activate()
MsgBox "activated!"
End Sub
I am trying to make it so that when one of the specific cells in my code is changed then it will display a message but i am getting the following error message "run time error 438 object doesnt suport this property or method". Not realy sure what this means. could someone please help me understand. Here is the code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Adress = "F48,I48,L48,F50,I50,L50,I52,L52,N52" Then
MsgBox "You are about to change an AP-42 Emision Factor"
End If
End Sub
1st, as mentioned in comment, use Target.Address which is correct property name.
2nd, your if statement will never return true. Target.Address will always return something like this: $E$2, $E$3:$E$4, and so on... In your situation you should use something like Intersect or Union methods.
Edited- possible solution using Union method:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngTMP As Range
Set rngTMP = Range("F48,I48,L48,F50,I50,L50,I52,L52,N52")
If Union(Target, rngTMP).Address = Union(rngTMP, rngTMP).Address Then
MsgBox "Ok"
End If
End Sub
Is this what you are trying?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("F48,I48,L48,F50,I50,L50,I52,L52,N52")) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "You are about to change an AP-42 Emision Factor"
End If
End Sub

The Code Siddharth Gave works wonders so Thanks so much. I was running into trouple because I was trying to make two Worksheet_Change events by writing the code the following way:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$D$8" Then
Toggle_Rows
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(Byval Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("F48,I48,L48,F50,I50,L50,I52,L52,N52")) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "You are about to change an AP-42 Emision Factor"
End If
End Sub
As you can imagine this did not work, gave me an Ambiguous name error. So after some research the following is the way two write these two functions as one:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$D$8" Then
Toggle_Rows
End If
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("F48,I48,L48,F50,I50,L50,I52,L52,N52")) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "You are about to change an AP-42 Emision Factor"
End If
End Sub
Thanks for all the help everyone!
Hi I am trying to make a search page on an on-line excel (www.editgrid.com) using macro to lock all cells except for (B2 cell) and each time the page is opened it clears / resets (B2 cell) and I keep getting this error Missing ; before statement at line 1 Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) how do I fix this error. Thank you
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Selection, Range("A1:AS57")) Is Nothing Then
Range("B2").Select
End If
End Sub
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
[search_string] = "Type your search here."
[search_string].Select
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const CRITERIA_HEADER = "Description"
Const TEMPORARY_NAME_CREATED_BY_ADVANCED_FILTER = "Extract"
' If change was from any cell other than our lookup, then exit
If Intersect(Target, [search_string]) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
[search_string].Select
End Sub
It would appear that macros for EditGrid should be written in JavaScript and not in VBA. See this guide for more details
