Automtacally change entry based on value in column.
Hi
I've searched the group and found 'Validation and filters with sub scrolls' but didn't see a solution. Using Excel 2003 I have a column with a List selection in, and a column next to it with a formula that returns true or false (basically this determines if todays date, is a date in another column + 30 days). If this is TRUE, i wish to set the value to the relevant cell in the column to Expired. I'm not sure how I do this or if it needs to be done on an Open Worksheet event. Can anyone help please? i.e A B (to be hidden) 1 Status Validation 2 Open 3 Closed FALSE 4 Testing 5 Initial 6 Testing 7 Open TRUE 8 Open TRUE 9 Open FALSE 10 Open So as soon as a value turns to TRUE then for example, row 7 and 8 should automatically become Expired. Is this possible please? Cheers Rich |

We can use the Calculate event:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() n = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row For i = 1 To n If Cells(i, 2).Text = "TRUE" Then Cells(i, 1).Value = "Expired" End If Next End Sub Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use: 1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window 2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window 3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it. To remove the macro: 1. bring up the VBE windows as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To learn more about macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm To learn more about Event Macros (worksheet code), see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm -- Gary''s Student - gsnu2007M "Richhall" wrote: Hi I've searched the group and found 'Validation and filters with sub scrolls' but didn't see a solution.
