auto updating cell values
 

Hello all,

I am having a bit of a problem trying to figure out how to write thi
code.
Basically, I have in Cell A1 a value (ie 100) and cell A2 is a dro
down
validation box with 2 possible responses (YES & NO). What I need is
code,
that will automatically update the value of A1 if cell A2 is set t
YES.
It's a count of what is left.

ie. A1 = 100 and you select YES for A2, then A1 needs to update to 9

(A1.value - 1), but if A2 is NO, then no change is made to A1.

Any help provided will be greatly appreciated!!

Thoma

auto updating cell values
 

Thomas,
Paste the following code in the code pane for the worksheet (press ALT+F11
in Excel and click on Sheet1 in the VB Project Explorer):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Range("B1").Address Then
If Target.Value = "YES" Then
If Not Range("A1") <= 0 Then Range("A1") = Range("A1").Value - 1
End If
End If
End Sub

This should do it.
Good luck.
