Hello everyone,
Am having two values in A1 and B1. The cell C1 has one value. I need a msgbox to pop up if either A1 or B1 greater than C1. Please help. |

Hi naga rajan, Try this in the worksheet code module. Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Range("A1").Value Or Range("B1").Value Range("C1") Then MsgBox "A1 or B1 is greater than C1", vbOKOnly, "High Hopes" End If End Sub HTH Regards, Howard |

Right-click on the worksheet tab to open the worksheet module in the VBA window. |

And I tested my code, but missed that somehow...??? Howard |

Your if-statement reads: "if A1 is true or if B1 C1, then ....". Any non-zero value is considered "true". So "if A1 is true" is false only when A1 = 0. Since "A1 is true" is (almost) always true, the true/false value of the 2nd part (B1 C1) does not matter. "TRUE OR anything" is true. |

Hello,
Thanks for the help. When I define the range to A1:A100 C1 its giving mismatch error. I want to display a msgbox when the value of A1:A100 or B1:B100 C1. Please help. |
