Select individual cells only?
 

Goodmorning All,

Is it possible allowing a user to select individual cells only?
No ranges with cells.count1?

Hi Sige

You can test the area

Sub zzzz()
Dim smallrng As Range
For Each smallrng In Selection.Areas
If smallrng.Cells.Count 1 Then MsgBox smallrng.Address & " is not a correct selection"
Next
End Sub

see if this is what you're looking for. right click a sheet tab, select view
code and paste it there.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then
MsgBox Target.Address & " is not a correct selection"
End If
End Sub

modified it a bit to not allow action on the range after the msgbox was
displayed

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then
MsgBox Target.Address & " is not a correct selection"
ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Cells(1, 1).Select
End If
End Sub

Hi Ron,
Works fine ... but as worksheet_selectchange it does what I am after.
Or quite. As I would like to have this message on every sheet in my
workbook!
But every day I start with a fresh one with about 70 sheets!

Any ideas?

Hi Ron,

It does what it should ...but as Worksheet_SelectionChange-sub it has
the behaviour which I had in mind... or quite. As I would like to
invoke this behaviour on a fresh workbook with 70 sheets.
No other way than copying it in 1by1?

Hi Sige,

Use the Workbookbook_SheetSelectionChange event instead. This event will
operate on all sheets, existing and new.

Hi Sige,

Sorry for the stutter,

: Workbookbook_SheetSelectionChange

should be:

Workbook_SheetSelectionChange.
