Default Stuck - VB Help needed

Morning,

I have a code that reads three columns, colour (black, blue, green, brown
and two numbers, start hours and finish hours, (1, 2, 3 etc). The code then
plots a series of coloured boxes, one colour per row to produce a gant chart.

It works fine if I enter the three input columns manually, but if I drive
the hour columns through formulas the coloured lines do not update with
changes. So for example I want to plot blue from 0 to 3 hours on row 4 and
black from 5 to 7 hours on row 5. Enter the data hit return and it works, I
get a blue bar four boxes long starting in L4 and a black one 3 boxes long
starting in P5.

Then I change the row 5 inputs to be;

start time = finish time of row 4 + 1
end time = start time + 3

Any changes to the row 4 inputs will not update the gantt, although the
values in cells driving the gantt will change.

Can anyone help me know why this happens or how to fix it?

The code I'm using is below if it helps.

Thanks
LiAD

I think I figured out the problem. 1 hour is not 1 but 1/24. Time in excel
is one day = 1.

Try this fix

from
StartTime = Cells(t.Row, "J")
EndTime = Cells(t.Row, "K")

to:
StartTime = Hour(Cells(t.Row, "J"))
EndTime = Hour(Cells(t.Row, "K"))

Thanks a lot for trying.

Unfortunately I cant get that to drive it either. Again formulas update but
not the gantt.

Is the problem with formulas or the data. Put a message box a the beginning
of the worksheet change to see if yo are getting into the function. Also,
are you formulas referecing other worksheets? worksheet change only apply to
the sheet where they are located.

All the data is on one worksheet.

There is no problem with data entered as numbers.

The problem is only with data generated by formulas, for example if in cell
K4 I put = J4 + G4 then I change the value in G4 the gantt will not update to
the new value in K4.

The function is working fine if I dont use formulas in the worksheet.

I assume yo are NOT getting the messagebox. Is this correct?

The worksheet function shold always work unless you are getting an error in
antoerh macro. You said the only thing you changed was the number to a
formula. this means you worksheet options are working correctly.

Does the macro start working again if yo only change the formulas back to a
number? I want to make sure that events weren't disabled.

Try changing your error trapping in the VBA menu

Tools - OPtions - General - Stop on all errors

This will give additional diagnostics to help solve the problem.

Post the data in cells J4, G4, and K4.

Yes correct. I see no message box.

All worksheet options work correctly. There are no other macros etc in this
workbook, just cells filled with text, raw numbers and the formulas in
question.

Yes if I change the formula back to a number it works no problems again.

Changing the error trapping has not shown any issues or errors any time I've
tried to run it. I see no messages in excel or VB, it just doesnt seem to
work with formulas.

Do you think the Hour() bit is important? I dont see why this should be
time related problem as its just dealing with numbers. I have tried it but
no luck.

and two numbers, start hours and finish hours, (1, 2, 3 etc). The code then
plots a series of coloured boxes, one colour per row to produce a gant chart.

It works fine if I enter the three input columns manually, but if I drive
the hour columns through formulas the coloured lines do not update with
changes. So for example I want to plot blue from 0 to 3 hours on row 4 and
black from 5 to 7 hours on row 5. Enter the data hit return and it works, I
get a blue bar four boxes long starting in L4 and a black one 3 boxes long
starting in P5.

Then I change the row 5 inputs to be;

start time = finish time of row 4 + 1
end time = start time + 3

Any changes to the row 4 inputs will not update the gantt, although the
values in cells driving the gantt will change.

Can anyone help me know why this happens or how to fix it?

The code I'm using is below if it helps.

Thanks
LiAD

I asumed you put the message box at the 1st line of the macro. if you are
not seeing the message box either there is something wrong with the data or
another macro is causing an error. I would need to see the data to determine
what the probelm is.

You could add a break point on the worksheet change line in your macro.
click on this line with mouse and press F9. the line should change color.
First make sure you get to the break point when the macro is working. Press
F5 to continue after getting to the break point. Doing this will tell us if
the data is bad (gets to this line) or something else in the workbook is
failing (doesn't get to the line).

The hour will has nothing to do with the function being called. After we
find out why the macro isn't runni9ng then we have to address the hour issue.
I would need to see samples of the data to determine if the hour is needed.
It is only needed if you have a cell formated as time.

You also need to change the function to add a loop since yo are changing
more than one value in the range. When you change J4 you are also changing
K4 so the function need to loop. Exscel does all the calculattions on the
worksheet before calling the worksheet change function.

Yes correct. I see no message box.

All worksheet options work correctly. There are no other macros etc in this

Yes if I change the formula back to a number it works no problems again.

Changing the error trapping has not shown any issues or errors any time I've
tried to run it. I see no messages in excel or VB, it just doesnt seem to
work with formulas.

Do you think the Hour() bit is important? I dont see why this should be
time related problem as its just dealing with numbers. I have tried it but
no luck.

The worksheet function shold always work unless you are getting an error in
antoerh macro. You said the only thing you changed was the number to a
formula. this means you worksheet options are working correctly.

Does the macro start working again if yo only change the formulas back to a
number? I want to make sure that events weren't disabled.

Try changing your error trapping in the VBA menu

Tools - OPtions - General - Stop on all errors

This will give additional diagnostics to help solve the problem.

Post the data in cells J4, G4, and K4.

All the data is on one worksheet.

There is no problem with data entered as numbers.

The problem is only with data generated by formulas, for example if in cell
K4 I put = J4 + G4 then I change the value in G4 the gantt will not update to
the new value in K4.

The function is working fine if I dont use formulas in the worksheet.

Morning,

I have a code that reads three columns, colour (black, blue, green, brown
and two numbers, start hours and finish hours, (1, 2, 3 etc). The code then
plots a series of coloured boxes, one colour per row to produce a gant chart.

It works fine if I enter the three input columns manually, but if I drive
the hour columns through formulas the coloured lines do not update with
changes. So for example I want to plot blue from 0 to 3 hours on row 4 and
black from 5 to 7 hours on row 5. Enter the data hit return and it works, I
get a blue bar four boxes long starting in L4 and a black one 3 boxes long
starting in P5.

Then I change the row 5 inputs to be;

start time = finish time of row 4 + 1
end time = start time + 3

Any changes to the row 4 inputs will not update the gantt, although the
values in cells driving the gantt will change.

Can anyone help me know why this happens or how to fix it?

The code I'm using is below if it helps.

Hi,

I have found that with formulas the code stops after

Set i = Range("I4:K20")
Set t = Target
If Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

So when I change a cell the code exits almost immediately.

Interesting if I copy the formula down one cell at a time after a change it
updates. If I copy then change or copy more than one cell at a time it
doesnt work.

Does this help at all?

I think I owe you serious beer after this one!

You could add a break point on the worksheet change line in your macro.
click on this line with mouse and press F9. the line should change color.
First make sure you get to the break point when the macro is working. Press
F5 to continue after getting to the break point. Doing this will tell us if
the data is bad (gets to this line) or something else in the workbook is
failing (doesn't get to the line).

The hour will has nothing to do with the function being called. After we
find out why the macro isn't runni9ng then we have to address the hour issue.
I would need to see samples of the data to determine if the hour is needed.
It is only needed if you have a cell formated as time.

You also need to change the function to add a loop since yo are changing
more than one value in the range. When you change J4 you are also changing
K4 so the function need to loop. Exscel does all the calculattions on the
worksheet before calling the worksheet change function.

Changing the error trapping has not shown any issues or errors any time I've

Do you think the Hour() bit is important? I dont see why this should be
time related problem as its just dealing with numbers. I have tried it but
no luck.

The worksheet function shold always work unless you are getting an error in
antoerh macro. You said the only thing you changed was the number to a
formula. this means you worksheet options are working correctly.

Does the macro start working again if yo only change the formulas back to a
number? I want to make sure that events weren't disabled.

Try changing your error trapping in the VBA menu

Tools - OPtions - General - Stop on all errors

This will give additional diagnostics to help solve the problem.

Post the data in cells J4, G4, and K4.

With the new code and the formulas in cols J and K, fed by Col G the code

Hi,

I have found that with formulas the code stops after

If Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

So when I change a cell the code exits almost immediately.

Interesting if I copy the formula down one cell at a time after a change it
updates. If I copy then change or copy more than one cell at a time it
doesnt work.

Does this help at all?

I think I owe you serious beer after this one!

You could add a break point on the worksheet change line in your macro.
click on this line with mouse and press F9. the line should change color.
First make sure you get to the break point when the macro is working. Press
F5 to continue after getting to the break point. Doing this will tell us if
the data is bad (gets to this line) or something else in the workbook is
failing (doesn't get to the line).

The hour will has nothing to do with the function being called. After we
find out why the macro isn't runni9ng then we have to address the hour issue.
I would need to see samples of the data to determine if the hour is needed.
It is only needed if you have a cell formated as time.

You also need to change the function to add a loop since yo are changing
more than one value in the range. When you change J4 you are also changing
K4 so the function need to loop. Exscel does all the calculattions on the

The worksheet function shold always work unless you are getting an error in
antoerh macro. You said the only thing you changed was the number to a
formula. this means you worksheet options are working correctly.

Does the macro start working again if yo only change the formulas back to a

Try changing your error trapping in the VBA menu

The problem is only with data generated by formulas, for example if in cell

the new value in K4.

The function is working fine if I dont use formulas in the worksheet.

the code is working the way I intended it to work. Since changing G4 doesn't
directly change the gant chart nothing will happen. The code loops 1 time
for each cell that gets changed on the worksheet. When you change G4 the
cell K4 will also change and the code will loop a 2nd time for K4. When K4 =
target (the 2nd time though the loop) the code should update the gant chart.

Is it not possible that I can use G4 to update K4 which will then change the
gannt?

For example in G5 I have 2, J5 I have =K4, K5 I have = J5+G5. For now we
can imagine that the gannt shows a coloured line 3 cells long.

Now I change G5 from 2 to 4 and hit enter and the gannt will automatically
change from 3 to 5 cells long.

Is this possible?

I didn't say that that it is not possible!!!!!!!

You have the following in cell K4

= J4 + G4

When G4 change so does K4. The worksheet change function gets call twice.
the first time when you change G4 and the second time after the worksheet is
re-calculated and K4 changes. You don't need to have the macro run when G4
changes. The line "If Not Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then" stops the code
from running when G4 changes put allows the code to run when K4 changes.

Do you have the worksheet set to Recaculate Automatically???

The 2nd time the function is called after K4 is changed the Gant chart
should update. You also may need to put HOUR() back into the code. You
never posted what data was in G4 and J4.

Hi,

I have found that with formulas the code stops after

Set i = Range("I4:K20")
Set t = Target
If Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

So when I change a cell the code exits almost immediately.

Interesting if I copy the formula down one cell at a time after a change it
updates. If I copy then change or copy more than one cell at a time it
doesnt work.

Does this help at all?

I think I owe you serious beer after this one!

You could add a break point on the worksheet change line in your macro.

First make sure you get to the break point when the macro is working. Press

It is only needed if you have a cell formated as time.

You also need to change the function to add a loop since yo are changing

Yes correct. I see no message box.

All worksheet options work correctly. There are no other macros etc in this
workbook, just cells filled with text, raw numbers and the formulas in
question.

Yes if I change the formula back to a number it works no problems again.

Changing the error trapping has not shown any issues or errors any time I've
tried to run it. I see no messages in excel or VB, it just doesnt seem to
work with formulas.

Do you think the Hour() bit is important? I dont see why this should be
time related problem as its just dealing with numbers. I have tried it but
no luck.

"joel" wrote:

The worksheet function shold always work unless you are getting an error in
antoerh macro. You said the only thing you changed was the number to a
formula. this means you worksheet options are working correctly.

Yes the formula you quoted is what I have.
Yes the worksheet is on auto calculate.

In J4 I have the number 0 formatted as a number in G4 is another number
which I'm changing to try to see if it works, between 1 and 5.

Tried hour and it doesn't change anything for me here.

I assume you are talking about the double change, once for when I change G4
and once for when the formula automatically changes K4 due to the change made
in G4? Why does the code need to worry about G4, can it just not be driven
off the output generated in K4?


"joel" wrote:

I didn't say that that it is not possible!!!!!!!

You have the following in cell K4

= J4 + G4

When G4 change so does K4. The worksheet change function gets call twice.
the first time when you change G4 and the second time after the worksheet is
re-calculated and K4 changes. You don't need to have the macro run when G4
changes. The line "If Not Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then" stops the code
from running when G4 changes put allows the code to run when K4 changes.

Do you have the worksheet set to Recaculate Automatically???

The 2nd time the function is called after K4 is changed the Gant chart
should update. You also may need to put HOUR() back into the code. You
never posted what data was in G4 and J4.



"LiAD" wrote:

Is it not possible that I can use G4 to update K4 which will then change the

For example in G5 I have 2, J5 I have =K4, K5 I have = J5+G5. For now we
can imagine that the gannt shows a coloured line 3 cells long.

Now I change G5 from 2 to 4 and hit enter and the gannt will automatically
change from 3 to 5 cells long.

Is this possible?

target (the 2nd time though the loop) the code should update the gant chart.

You are right. The code doesn't worry about G4. That is what I've been
trying to explain. That is why the code was stopping on the line "If Not
Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then" when G4 was being processed. The code
should be execute when K4 is processed

Yo don't need hours() if your numbers are 0 to 23 and not a time format.

Is the code working or not working? yo ned to check that the routine gets
called twice when g4 is changed. I think you understand better how the code
is working once you started to debug the problems.

Sorry sorry but its still not working. Its still stopping when I use

Yes the formula you quoted is what I have.
Yes the worksheet is on auto calculate.

In J4 I have the number 0 formatted as a number in G4 is another number
which I'm changing to try to see if it works, between 1 and 5.

Tried hour and it doesn't change anything for me here.

I assume you are talking about the double change, once for when I change G4
and once for when the formula automatically changes K4 due to the change made
in G4? Why does the code need to worry about G4, can it just not be driven
off the output generated in K4?

I didn't say that that it is not possible!!!!!!!

You have the following in cell K4

= J4 + G4

When G4 change so does K4. The worksheet change function gets call twice.
the first time when you change G4 and the second time after the worksheet is
re-calculated and K4 changes. You don't need to have the macro run when G4
changes. The line "If Not Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then" stops the code
from running when G4 changes put allows the code to run when K4 changes.

Do you have the worksheet set to Recaculate Automatically???

The 2nd time the function is called after K4 is changed the Gant chart
should update. You also may need to put HOUR() back into the code. You
never posted what data was in G4 and J4.

Is it not possible that I can use G4 to update K4 which will then change the
gannt?

For example in G5 I have 2, J5 I have =K4, K5 I have = J5+G5. For now we
can imagine that the gannt shows a coloured line 3 cells long.

Now I change G5 from 2 to 4 and hit enter and the gannt will automatically
change from 3 to 5 cells long.

Is this possible?

Thanks

the code is working the way I intended it to work. Since changing G4 doesn't
directly change the gant chart nothing will happen. The code loops 1 time
for each cell that gets changed on the worksheet. When you change G4 the
cell K4 will also change and the code will loop a 2nd time for K4. When K4 =
target (the 2nd time though the loop) the code should update the gant chart.

Hi,

With the new code and the formulas in cols J and K, fed by Col G the code
stops at this line:

If Not Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then

Would you have any more ideas?
Thanks a lor for your help

was no in the intesect area and was causing the macro to stop. the code

Hi,

I have found that with formulas the code stops after

Set i = Range("I4:K20")
Set t = Target
If Intersect(t, i) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

So when I change a cell the code exits almost immediately.

Interesting if I copy the formula down one cell at a time after a change it
updates. If I copy then change or copy more than one cell at a time it
doesnt work.

Does this help at all?

I think I owe you serious beer after this one!

With this code I'm finding an issue on the following line -:

Cells(t.Row, "L").Offset(0, StartTime).Interior.ColorIndex =

It gives a compile error: Syntax error.

I asumed you put the message box at the 1st line of the macro. if you are
not seeing the message box either there is something wrong with the data or
another macro is causing an error. I would need to see the data to determine
what the probelm is.

You could add a break point on the worksheet change line in your macro.
click on this line with mouse and press F9. the line should change color.
First make sure you get to the break point when the macro is working. Press
F5 to continue after getting to the break point. Doing this will tell us if
the data is bad (gets to this line) or something else in the workbook is
failing (doesn't get to the line).

The hour will has nothing to do with the function being called. After we
find out why the macro isn't runni9ng then we have to address the hour issue.
I would need to see samples of the data to determine if the hour is needed.
It is only needed if you have a cell formated as time.

You also need to change the function to add a loop since yo are changing
more than one value in the range. When you change J4 you are also changing
K4 so the function need to loop. Exscel does all the calculattions on the
worksheet before calling the worksheet change function.
