Here's a tricky one:
I would like an action to occur each time text is entered into a cell in Column A. This needs to be done using VB, not a macro. When data is entered into, say, cell A2, I would like the formulas in cells C2:E2 to be copied down into cells C3:E3. The purpose of this is to avoid having formulas in cells until they are needed (i.e. each time a row with formulas is used, a new blank row with formulas is created). In doing a web search for a solution, I found the following code (props to Gord Dibben, circa 2003): Copy/paste this Event code to your worksheet module. Select Sheet TabView Code. Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) 'when entering data in a cell in Col B On Error GoTo enditall If Target.Cells.Column = 2 Then n = Target.Row If Excel.Range("B" & n).Value < "" Then Excel.Range("C" & n).Value = Excel.Range("B" & n).Value End If End If enditall: End Sub Unfortunately, I am unable to adapt this to my specific needs...anybody care to take a swing? |

Maybe this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) 'when entering data in a cell in Col B On Error GoTo enditall If Target.Cells.Column = 1 Then n = Target.Row If Range("A" & n).Value < "" _ Then Range("C" & (n - 1) & ":E" & (n - 1)).Copy Range("C" & n).Select ActiveSheet.Paste Else End If End If Range("A" & n + 1).Select enditall: End Sub HTH, Paul "Shonzi" wrote in message ps.com...

Every time you change a cell that is NOT in Column A, the focus returns to cell A1. For example, if I am in cell B200 and I make a change, I am thrown rather abruptly up to A1 upon hitting enter or tab. It is less jarring with the windows frozen, so that Row 1 is alway on screen, but it is a nuisance nonetheless... Anyone have a solution to either of these issues?? |

Try moving the following line:
Range("A" & n + 1).Select Move this above 'Else'. "Shonzi" wrote in message oups.com...

Anyone have a solution to either of these issues??- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That did the trick! Nice job, thanks again. So now the code looks like this... Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) 'when entering data in a cell in Col A On Error GoTo enditall If Target.Cells.Column = 1 Then n = Target.Row If Range("A" & n).Value < "" _ Then Range("C" & n & ":E" & n).Copy Range("C" & (n + 1)).Select ActiveSheet.Paste Range("A" & n + 1).Select Else End If End If enditall: End Sub There is still one problem, albeit a minor one. When entering data in a cell in Column A, if you hit tab (to go to Column B) it bumps you down to the next row instead, in Column A. Is there any way to fix this? |
