Worksheet_SelectionChange Question
 

Hello,

I've been trying to use the code for the individual worksheet for the
selection change:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

Here is a small piece of the code

Set mc1 = Selection
MsgBox mc1.Address(RowAbsolute:=True, columnabsolute:=True,
ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1)

My problem is that I want to get the address of the selection before the
user hits enter. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

ActiveCell.Address will give you the information e.g.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("a1") = ActiveCell.Address
End Sub

A1 will change to show the selected cell's address

Target.address

will give you that location as soon as they make the change.

You mean you want the "old" address, not the "new" address referred to by
Target.Address ?

Save cell or address to a module level variable in the SelectionChange event

Dim OldAddress As String

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
OldAddress = ActiveCell.Address
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
MsgBox "New address : " & Target.Address & vbNewLine & "Old address : " &
OldAddress
OldAddress = Target.Address
End Sub
