If a cell does not contain a formula then...
 

Column D accepts "Y" or "N"....If "Y" is chosen then a formula is entered
into column A of the same row. If "N" is chosen, then the contents of the
cell in column A are removed.
A user can put his/her own entry into the cell in column A....is there a way
that excel can recognize whether the cell contains a formula or a
value....and if the cell does not contain a formula to change the cell in
column D to "N"?

If a cell does not contain a formula then...
 

Hello Matt,

You need to use the SelectionChange event of the Worksheet to test th
cell the user has selected. Each worksheet has it's own events so, i
you plan to use this on multiple worksheets, you must include this cod
on each one.


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim R As Long

R = Target.Row

If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.HasFormula = True Then
Cells(R, "D").Value = "Y"
Else
Cells(R, "D").Value = "N"
End If
End If

End Sub


Sincerely,
Leith Ros

You probably want to change that to a Worksheet_Change Event. If you use
the selection change the user will select a cell in column A which
contains a formula, the event will fire and a Y will be inserted into
column D. The user then types a number over the formula in the selected
cell and the Y stays in Column D as the selection hasn't changed.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim R As Long
If Target.Count = 1 Then

R = Target.Row

If Target.Column = 1 And Target.HasFormula = True Then
Cells(R, "D").Value = "Y"
Else
Cells(R, "D").Value = "N"
End If
End If

End Sub

Hope this helps
