Can somone please help me with this program.
I enter Tool Descriptions in Column 3 in my spreadsheet by selection from a DropDown Validation list. I also have various combinations of the tools which I select from the list as Kit1, Kit2 ..........etc. When a Kit is selected from the drop down validation list I would like my VBA program to populate the column with the individual tools which make up the Kit. Can someone tell me why my VBA program below requires two extra clicks to do this after selecting a Kit from the drop down validation list.. Assuming the current cell is C10 I select a kit from the validation list the description (Eg. Kit1) appears in cell C10 as Kit1 and not the individual tools that make up the Kit1. I have to click on the empty cell C11 below and then again on cell C10 (Kit1)and only then will it populate the cells with the tools correctly. How do I get the cells populated automatically as required without having to click twice as described above? I use a case statement for the different kits which calls the relevant sub programs as follows: Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(By Val Target as range Dim CodeRow As Interger Dim CodeCol As Interger Dim Count As Interger Select Case Target.Value Case "Kit 1" Call Kit1 Case"Kit 2" Call Kit2 Case Else End Select End Sub I then have Private Sub Programs for each Case. (Kit) The Tool Descriptions are located in a Table in Column 10 Example for Kit1. Private Sub Kit1() Dim ToolDescription Dim ContentsRow As Integer Dim ContentsCol as Integer ContentsCol = 10 CodeCol = 3 CodeRow = ActiveCell.Row (Where the Tool Description is to be entered) Contents Row = 19 (First Tool Description for Kit1 is located in the table in Col10 Row 19) ToolDescription = Cells(ContentsRow,ContentsCol).Value Cells(CodeRow,CodeCol).Value = ToolDescription CodeRow = CodeRow + 1 (Increments to next Row) Contents Row = 20 ToolDescription = Cells(ContentsRow,ContentsCol).Value Cells(CodeRow,CodeCol).Value = ItemDescription CodeRow = CodeRow + 1 Contents Row = 21 ItemDescription = Cells(ContentsRow,ContentsCol).Value Cells(CodeRow,CodeCol).Value = ToolDescription CodeRow = CodeRow + 1 End Sub Thanks for the anticipated help.
