I want a graph only to appear when a condition is fulfilled. To be more precise: I have a drop down menu that changes the content of a graph. If the menu point "Total revenue" is clicked, I want a second graph to appear. I am new to VBA and this is what I came up with so far:
Sub Iffuntion()
Dim SelectedChart As Range
Dim notVisible As Boolean
If Range("D100").Value = Range("E100").Value Then
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Testchart").Visible = True
Else
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Testchart").Visible = notVisible
End If
End Sub
It works, but I have to execute the VBA to make the graph appear/disappear and I would like that to happen automatically. Also the condition should eventually be in another worksheet to keep the sheet with the graphs nice and tidy. I read that to achieve this I have toI have to activate the other worksheet. Would you recommend this way or is there a better solution?
Thanks for the help and best regards!

EDIT: Here is the link to a sample file with the proposed solution of Cor_Blimey, that I couldn't get to work properly. The interconnections in the excel are more complicated than they would have to be, but I wanted to be as accurate ad possible in displaying what is actually happening in my excel. Thanks for taking a look!

Assuming you mean that they change, from a data validation drop down list, the contents of a cell then you can put your code into the Worksheet's Worksheet_Change event. This event is fired when the user changes the content of a cell (or by an external link).
Then test for the cell being the right cell then run your code.
Like:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Intersect(Target, Me.Range("D100"))
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
If rng.Value = Me.Range("E100").Value Then
Me.ChartObjects("Testchart").Visible = True
Else
Me.ChartObjects("Testchart").Visible = False
End If
End If
End Sub

Afternoon all!
I am using the results of various drop down lists to hide the relevant rows on a spreadsheet as the value on the drop down list is changed (so automatically).
With some googling, I have come across the below set up which works nicely, although I have now hit a snag when trying to specify drop down list cell from another worksheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim disabled As Boolean
If Range("D2") = "Yes" Then
disabled = True
End If
If disabled Then
Rows("3:8").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Else
Rows("3:8").EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End sub
Using the following has not worked, and googling for a solution has lead me up many a dead end:
If Sheets("Topsheet").Range("D27") = "Yes" Then
Am I unable to use values from a neighbouring sheet when declaring a variable due to it being a private sub?
Any help would be much appreciated as I have been stumped on this for a couple of hours!
Your code can be massively simplified. Try using this (You'll have to update the sheet name if it's not the same as yours)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Sheets("SheetWithRowsToBeHidden").Rows("3:8").EntireRow.Hidden = IIf(Me.Range("D27").Value2 = "Yes", True, False)
End Sub
Also, where have you put this code? Have you put it inside a Module or is it in the Sheet Object? It needs to be in the Sheet Object that has the dropdowns on.
I have used the following Worksheet Change VBA code which is applied to a single cell reference, and is used to call a macro dependent on selection from a data validation list. The event triggered by the macro applies to the row of the active cell.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(True, True) = "$H$2" Then
Select Case Target
Case "Yes"
Call StandardEntry
Case Else
'Do nothing
End Select
End If
End Sub
I would now like to be able to apply this worksheet change event to be triggered by individual cells within the same column, generating the same event within the active cells row and not affecting any other rows. Identical data validation has been applied to the other cells in the column.
I would appreciate assistance in writing the appropriate code or adjusting the code above to suit.
Thanks #YowE3K!Changing
If Target.Address(True, True) = "$H$2" Then
to
If Target.Column = 8 Then
did the trick and is a really simple solution! Yeehar!
I've been stuck on this for awhile. I have a macro that runs every time a change is made and creates a data table that updates after each change with information like : Old Value, New Value, Data Changes, etc.
I am trying to kind of pause the worksheet change macro when I don't want it to be run anymore. Ex: If I am plugging in blank information, I don't need to document the fact that it used to be blank, and now it has data, etc.
I made some specifications for if I deleted an entire row as shown here:
If Target.Address = Target.EntireRow.Address Then Exit Sub
but that only dealt with one case. I just now thought of a very simple solution that I will post as the answer, so I hope this will help other people as much as it helped me
It's actually a very simple solution.
To begin pick a cell that has no information in but can be clearly located. For the purpose of this lets say A1.
Now pick key words that you will use to turn the macro on and off. Ex: I just chose True and False (capitals need to be consistent so pick what you want)
At this point, go to the beginning of your worksheet change macro and type in this right after the sub starts:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A1").Value = "False" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Now, before your macro starts, it will always verify that the cell doesn't contain False, so if you want it on, put anything else but False, and if you want it off, keep the cell as False. Hope this helps someone.
You want to disable events while ensuring that you enable them later. To do this, use an error handler to catch all errors and set the state back at the end.
Public Sub example()
On Error GoTo errHandler
Application.EnableEvents = False ' => disable events
'The code ...
errHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True ' => enable events
End Sub
I have a worksheet with many dependant dropdowns that are liable to having invalid data if the initial drop down is altered. I would like a simple auto-macro that would automatically run the "circle invalid data" command every time a cell change within a specified range (D8:T800) is detected.
It sounds fairly straightforward but I am not sure how to do this.
Question - as this macro will run every single time a cell is amended would this macro slow down the worksheet?
EDIT:
Also: as this might be slow,is there a way we can run this command over a selected range?
Your thoughts thanks.
Try this
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("D8:T800")) Is Nothing Then
Me.CircleInvalid
End If
End Sub
Note that CircleInvalid applies to the whole sheet, so while this code only triggers when a cell inside D8:T800 changes, all invalid cells on the sheet will be circled
Try placing this code inside your Worksheet:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Check target range has changed
If (Not Intersect(Target, Range("D8:T800")) Is Nothing) Then
' Prevent recusrive looping
Application.EnableEvents = False
' Refresh validation circles
Target.Worksheet.CircleInvalid
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
Note that this will NOT work if the values in those cells change due to a calculation from outside the specified range.
Also, the CircleInvalid method applies to the whole worksheet.
You could try editing the code in the conditional to 'do something' if the Target is validated — this would result in you changing the format of invalid cells instead of having the red circles around them.
**PSEUDO-CODE**
For each cell in Target.Range
cell.colour = bright red
Next cell
I have scoured the Internet and I have found a handful of possible solutions to this issue, but I wanted to ask here as well.
The goal is to click a button, and spell check an entire sheet.
Here's some code
Sub spellCheck()
Sheet1.Cells.CheckSpelling
End Sub
Also, I found this:
Sub SpellCheck()
Dim Checkword As String, Result As Boolean
Checkword = Selection.Value
Result = Application.CheckSpelling(Checkword)
Selection.Offset(0, 1) = Result
End Sub
Any ideas? Neither is working for me. Thanks!
You can check the whole workbook by doing something like:
Sub SpellCheck()
For Each sh In Worksheets
Sheets(sh.Name).Cells.CheckSpelling
Next
End Sub
this will cycle through each sheet in the entire book and run a spellcheck on each one. What I can't figure out yet is how to make the spell checker actually move to the position of the spelling error. So, with the above you just get a list of spelling errors with no context with which to asses them.
I noticed I just had a typo in my code.
Below works:
Sub spellCheck()
Sheet1.Cells.CheckSpelling
End Sub
But, if anyone knows how to do the entire workbook, I'd be interested in that. Thanks.
This code will work on selected cells .This will highlight if any spell mistakes in a cell
Dim Myrange As Range
Selection.SpecialCells(xlVisible).Select
For Each Myrange In Selection
If Application.CheckSpelling(word:=Myrange.Value) = False Then
Myrange.Font.Color = vbRed
End If
Next
OK, so you can use the following command to invoke the toolbar's spellchecker which does move you to the position of the spelling error as long as you have screen updating enabled at the time.
Application.CommandBars("Tools").Controls("Spelling...").Execute
You can use this command embedded in the loop above to loop through the sheets in the workbook and invoke this command on each new sheet.
Cap
This uses a code snippet from a previous answer to restrict the area used for spellchecking to a specific region. Something I needed to do in a small project. This give the full functionallity of the spellchecker with errors shown in context. The rowNumber is calculated elsewhere.The selection range can be fully controlled elsewhere in your code to suit your particular need. Thought this might help others searching this posting.
With Sheets("Sheet1")
slic = CStr(rowNumber)
.Range("AL3:AN" & slic).Select
Application.CommandBars("Tools").Controls("Spelling...").Execute
End With
Thanks to previous posters this solved a problem form me. I am most grateful.
