How can I get the range of a previous cell in Excel? I have a ComboBox and usually I can fill its value into the active cell (under the ComboBox) with ActiveCell.Value = box.Value. When I have selected a value of my ComboBox and click in any other cell, I want the value of the ComboBox to be written into the previous cell, but this code writes it to cell I clicked on:
Private Sub box_LostFocus()
ActiveCell.Value = box.Value
End Sub
Any ideas?
If you include this in your worksheet code, PreviousCell will always be the previous range you had selected.
Dim PreviousCell As Range
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
' Your code that uses PreviousCell should go in the if statement that makes sure PreviousCell has a value
If Not PreviousCell Is Nothing Then
Debug.Print PreviousCell.Address
End If
Set PreviousCell = Target ' This needs to be the last line of code.
End Sub

I may or may not have an easy one here... For some reason I can't properly think of the solution.
Spreadsheet has numbers 1 to 14 in column A. 14 ends on row 15 as there is a header in cell A1. What I'm trying to do is double click one of these numbers and transfer that number to a specific cell on the same sheet (named "Sheet1"). I was able to put the code together to make it work for transferring a chosen number to a specific cell. Code below works well. However, I don't want to add a bunch of areas to double click for different cells. For example: The destination cell for the chosen data is E6, H6, and G6. I'd like to place the cursor starting in E6, double click a number in range A2 to A15, and have that number that I choose between A2 and A15 to appear in E6 since that is where the cursor was when I double clicked a cell in A2 to A15. Then I would move the cursor by click H6 and then going back to same selection between A2 to A15, placing whatever number I choose in that range in H6 since that is where the cursor currently exists.
Hopefully this makes sense and is even possible.

Working code that allows the double click to put data in a certain cell
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A15")) Is Nothing Then
Cancel = True
Target.Copy Destination:=Cells(6, "E")
End If
End Sub
I've added the solution I would try, with comments in the code. The reason for two sheet variables, is because the first click in the double-click registers as a SelectionChange event. So to get the correct cell location, you need it from two selections back, instead of just one.
Public selectedCell As String 'Sheet Variable
Public lastCell As String
' This updates the Sheet variable with the most recent selection
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
selectedCell = lastCell
lastCell = Target.Address
End Sub
' Added a check for having a previously selected cell
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A15")) Is Nothing Then
If selectedCell = vbNullString Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please select a destination cell for the data."
selectedCell = vbNullString
lastCell = vbNullString 'Prevents overwriting same cell by accident
Else
Cancel = True
Target.Copy Destination:=Range(selectedCell)
selectedCell = vbNullString
lastCell = vbNullString 'Prevents overwriting same cell by accident
End If
End If
End Sub
Here is a tiny tool that you may be able to adapt to your needs. If you double-click on an empty cell, it becomes the FinalDestination. If you then double-click on another cell that is not empty, its contents will be copied to FinalDestination:
In the worksheet code area:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Value = "" Then
Set FinalDestination = Target
Else
Target.Copy FinalDestination
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
In a standard module:
Public FinalDestination As Range
NOTE:
In this simple demo code there are no restrictions on source/destination.
I have the following piece of code on my workbook on my sheet, which is intended to test intersection using ws change and then go to the combo box and retrieve whatever value is entered in the box. However, what is happening is that after the value is entered in the combo box the first time the cell isn't updating with it's value. I have to click it again, and then it will populate. I know I have to likely use another event procedure, but I have no clue about combo box events. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thx Mike.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim aRng As Range
Dim tRng As Range
Set aRng = Range("C19:C36")
Set tRng = Sheet2.Range("I2")
Application.EnableEvents = False 'to prevent re-iteration of event
On Error GoTo cleanup:
If Not Intersect(aRng, Target) Is Nothing Then
Call Sheet2.ComboBox1_Change
Target.Value = Sheet2.ComboBox1.Value
End If
cleanup: 'enable events once again
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
and on Sheet 2 where the box is.
Public Sub ComboBox1_Change()
With ComboBox1
.Activate
.SelText = Empty
.DropDown
.MatchRequired = True
End With
End Sub
To get to the basics of your question, the Combobox has a LinkedCell property. If you enter the cell address on Sheet1 there, the selected item in the ComboBox will be displayed on Sheet1. (If a value is entered in that Cell on Sheet1, it will also be displayed in the ComboBox.)
ComboBox LinkedCell
You can force Sheet1 to be displayed after a selection is made in the ComboBox with this code (in the module of Sheet2):
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Sheet1.Select
End Sub
Using Worksheet_Change will only have effect AFTER something has been entered into the cell (and RETURN has been hit).
I have a table called Table1
In Column B, I have the ticket number. e.g: 76537434
Requirement: when any change happens in any cell in column B, that cell (Target cell) to be changed into a hyperlink such that the hyperlink address would be example.com/id=76537434
Cell value i.e. 76537434 must remain the same
Add this event handler to your worksheet's code module:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 2 Then Exit Sub
Target.Hyperlinks.Delete ' or Target.ClearHyperlinks to conserve the formatting
Me.Hyperlinks.Add Target, "http://example.com/id=" & Target.value
End Sub
The following Worksheet_Change event should be able to solve your problem:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cell As Range
Dim tmp As String
If Intersect(Range("B:B"), Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For Each cell In Target
If cell.Column = 2 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
tmp = cell.Value2
cell.Parent.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=Cells(cell.Row, 2), _
Address:="http://example.com/id=" & tmp, _
TextToDisplay:=tmp
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Next cell
End Sub
Note, that you must copy it to the sheet and not into a separate module.
=HYPERLINK(E14&F14,"Name")
where cell E14 contains "http://www.example.com/id=" and cell F14 contains "76537434".
This soultions doesn't need VBA macros.
As per subject, what I need is to run macro based on other cells.
Here is the case :
cells G3 until the end of row contains data used formula =IF(B3="";"";(SUMIF('Incoming Goods'!$F$3:$F$1048576;'Current Stock'!B3;'Incoming Goods'!$M$3:$M$1048576)-(SUMIF('Outgoing Goods'!$D$4:$D$1048576;'Current Stock'!B3;'Outgoing Goods'!$J$4:$J$1048576))))--> i need to convert this formula to VBA
cells H3 should contain : If G3.value = 0 then "Out of Stock", else " "
And this sheet must be calculate every time data in G3 change automatically or any additional data on this sheet.
Already tried this code :
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim Current As Worksheet
Dim Rng1 As Range
Dim Target As Range
Set Current = Worksheets("Current Stock")
Set Rng1 = Current.Range("G:G")
Set Target = Range("H:H")
For Each Rng1 In Target
If Rng1.Value2 = "0" Then
Target.Value2 = "Out Of Stock"
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Next
End Sub
However, above code is Not working. Already try using Private Sub Selection Change() and Private Sub Selection Change() but still not working.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
the answer to the first part is below:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(R[2]C[1]="""","""",(SUMIF('Incoming Goods'!R3C6:R1048576C6,'Current Stock'!R[2]C[1],'Incoming Goods'!R3C13:R1048576C13)-(SUMIF('Outgoing Goods'!R4C4:R1048576C4,'Current Stock'!R[2]C[1],'Outgoing Goods'!R4C10:R1048576C10))))"
handy tip: to convert any excel formula to code, hit the record macro button, then click on the cell, press F2 key, then press enter, and stop recording macro. The code will now be in its own module in the vba editor.
This should do what you want.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.Value > 200 Then
Call YourMacroName
End If
End If
End Sub
I'm trying to set up Excel so that the cell's value that is selected in the first worksheet is set to the value of a cell that's double clicked in a different worksheet. So far my code looks like this:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Sheet1.Range("M11:M24")
If IsEmpty(c) Then
c.Value = Target.Value
Exit For
End If
Next c
End Sub
What this does is sets the first empty cell in the range m11:m24 to the contents of the double clicked cell in the other worksheet. What I want though is not a static "M11:M24" range, but instead have the user select a cell in the first worksheet by clicking on it, move to the other worksheet, double click a cell in that worksheet and have the value appear in the selected cell on the first worksheet. I think I could have it so that there is a variable set up to save which cell is selected in the first worksheet and then just access that from the other worksheet. But I'd prefer if there was away built in to Excel to just choose the selected cell.
Is there a way to get the selected cell/range in Excel?
I solved this easily. The code is:
Sheet1.Activate
ActiveCell.Value = Target.Value
If you want to do a whole selection, try
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Sheet1.Activate
Dim r As Range
Set r = Selection
r.Value = Target.Value
End Sub
