Default Execute Events Based Upon Selected Cell

I noticed that the address are locked (i.e. $H$2) as opposed to unlocked
(i.e. "H2"). Is there a reason for that difference? And how would I change
the code to unlock the address such that I can support H2, H8, H12, ...?
Thanks again.

It is a more explicit declaration. In this case it really will not make any
difference whatsoever. Usually the more explicit the declaration the better,
but in this case it doesn't make any difference... If there were to items
Excel and another that could both have ranges, then you would need to
explcitle declate what type of range you wanted to use...

What is the difference between using Excel.Range and just Range in the
Worksheet_SelectionChange sub? Thank you.

Kind regards,

Target is the cell you just selected, so here is some code for you...

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.Address
Case "$H$2"
Target.Value = "X"
Case "$I$2"
Target.Value = "X"
Case "$J$2"
Target.Value = "X"
End Select
End Sub

I am trying to program code to execute specific conditions if certain cells
are selected. I am working within my worksheet and with the
Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Excel.Range) subroutine. I have
tried using the AcitveCell.Address per the following example:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

If ActiveCell.Address = Range("H2") Then
'Range("H2").Value = "X"
End If

End Sub

What has generally happened through my numerous iterations is that the "X"
is never entered into the selected cell or any other cell for that matter.

The goal is to have "X" entered into cell H2 only if cell H2 is selected.
Your assistance is highly appreciated. Any advice or recommendations you may
have is again well appreciated.

Kind regards,
