Say we want to automatically copy from A1 to B9 once A1 is populated. Insert
the following event macro in the worksheet code area:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set a = Range("A1")
Set b = Range("B9")
Set t = Target
If Intersect(t, a) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If t.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
a.Copy b
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:
1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

I'd like to copy a cell to another cell within the worksheet if it's
populated with a value. How do I set that up to run by it's self instead of
having me do it individually?
