my question/problem is kind of weird but here goes. I'm praying
someone smart and nice with some vba knowledge can help

I'm doing a food data worksheet for my nutrition class

I have five columns per food

quantity, calories. protein, carbs, fat

the foods are also in rows

What i want to do is enter the food data in for each food and
then have it so later on if i want to change a value in any of
the columns, the rest will move relative to the one

for example, if 1 oz chicken breast is 46 calories, 1 gram fat,
0 carb, 9 protein. I can change the protein to be 25 (multiplied
by 2.778) the rest will multipy their current values by 2.7778
automatically.

I talked to some people and heard vba is probably the only way
to do it and i am clueless when it comes to that. Any help with
an appropriate script for what im trying to do would be much
appreciated

thanks in advance

If you only need to multiply a column by a value, enter a value in a spare
cell, copy it and select the column data you need to change and then go
editpaste specialvalues+multiply

Insert this code into your worksheet. Right click on worksheet tab, view
code and copy/paste code below.

It assumes data is in columns B to F (2 to 6) - adjust as required.


Option Explicit

Dim OldValue As Variant
Dim NewValue As Variant

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
OldValue = Target(1).Formula
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim row As Long, col As Integer, factor As Double
On error goto wsexit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target(1).Formula < OldValue Then
MsgBox "Used to be " & CStr(OldValue) <=== remove when tested
row = Target(1).row
factor = Target(1).Value / OldValue
For col = 2 To 6
Cells(row, col) = Cells(row, col) * factor
Next
End If
wsexit:
Application.EnableEvents = True


End Sub

thanks toppers

i thought it worked, but then, now that i'm playing with it, when i
change a number, it doesnt change to what i needed it to be

first, heres what happened, i plugged it in exactly as you had it
pasted as

then it went

compile error, syntax error

i pushed ok, and

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
(this line is yellow with a yellow arrow on left)

MsgBox "Used to be " & CStr(OldValue) <=== remove when tested
(this is grey)

so next, i tried to delete the grey line, so now that's gone

now if i run it, i thought it worked, but its kind of going randomly

if i change lets say fat (column E) is 10, if i try to change to 5,
instead of a 5 being in there, its 2.5. Then i hit 5 again and it goes
back to 10, the rest are all changing though simulaneously so that is
very good at least

any ideas?

Change in code below. Replace all code by this new version.


Option Explicit

Dim OldValue As Variant
Dim NewValue As Variant

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
OldValue = Target(1).Formula
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim row As Long, col As Integer, factor As Double
On Error GoTo wsexit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target(1).Formula < OldValue Then
'MsgBox "Used to be " & CStr(OldValue) <=== remove when tested
row = Target(1).row
factor = Target(1).Value / OldValue
For col = 2 To 6
If Cells(row, col) < Target(1) Then
Cells(row, col) = Cells(row, col) * factor
End If
Next
End If
wsexit:
Application.EnableEvents = True


End Sub
