Hi (again!),

I have a 3 columns for actions on a register. Planned end date (V), actual
end date (W) and why was the date pushed out? (X). If the planned and actualy
end date are the same this is fine and the spreadsheet flags it that the
action has been closed. If they actual date is after the planned date its
states it has been pushed out. How do I get it to bring up and input box when
the actual date is entered in W and the dates are different? The information
entered in the input box will be stored in column X.

Thanks for your help

You need a worksheet change function use the one below

to Install
1) copy code below from the word SUB to the last line END SUB.
2) Go to worksheet tabe on bottom of page the initially said Sheet1
3) Right click and select View Code
4) Paste code into VBA window.
5) remove the if necessary that this website sometime inserts.


Go to workbook and try it, your'll like it.


Sub worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Column = 23 Then

If Target < Cells(Target.Row, 22) Then

ReasonWhy = InputBox("Enter Reason date was Pushed back")
Cells(Target.Row, 24) = ReasonWhy

End If

End If

End Sub

That's brilliant thank you - only one thing - if I click on the cell and the
date is blank it reads it as a different date and asks for narrative is there
anything I can enter to make it exit the sub if the cell is empty?

Patsy,

If Joel will excuse me playing with his code then substituting this line
should fix your problem.

If Target "" And Target < Cells(Target.Row, 22) Then
