ExcelBanter - Checking valus in cells

With Excel versions before Excel 2002 no single range can contain cells
scattered over a worksheet.

In xl 2000 and xl 97 this would work fine:

? Range("A1,B9,C21,Z65534,M23").address
$A$1,$B$9,$C$21,$Z$65534,$M$23

Range("A1,B9,C21,Z65534,M23").Name = "Scattered"
? range("Scattered").Address
$A$1,$B$9,$C$21,$Z$65534,$M$23

could you clarify your statement. Did you mean scattered across a workbook
as in being on several sheets?

Hello Niklas,

With Excel versions before Excel 2002 no single range can contain cells
scattered over a worksheet.

There is a WorksheetChange event that fires when a cell's contents change.
When Excel calls that it provides the range as a "target".
In the Worksheet.Change procedure you can use the

Select Case testexpression
[Case expressionlist-n
[statements-n]] ...
[Case Else
[elsestatements]]
End Select

VBA/VB command to test the target to determine whether it is one of the
cells you are managing.
There is a similar event that fires on Worksheet.SelectionChange
and another for Workbook.SelectionChange which receives the Worksheet
reference and the range reference.

Maybe you could select your cells and give it a nice range name. Then
you
could
use that range name in your code.

Hi
I have a sheet with several cells that I want to check if
they are valid or not. At the moment I have predefined
cells which I check, but I do not like that solution. I
want a more dynamic one. Is it possible to "tag" thoose
cells I want to check and with some code retrive those
taged cells as a Range? I want the "taged" cells to appear
all over the sheet?
Regards
