Afternoon group... you are all well I trust?

I have been writing VB stuff for years b ut only now has the
requiremement fallen upon me to het involved with macros in excel and
whereas the actual code of the macro is fine, I am having dificulties
getting my head round the concepts.

I have a specific problem that i would welcome comment or advice on:

I have a worksheet that may or may not have a value entered ina
specific cell. When a value is entered I need to grab that, do some
work on it and update some cells on the same row.

How on earth do I grab the reference for the cell that just changeds
and how do i pick from that the row in order to address the cells
further along.

This sounds pretty basic but I have been scratching my head for two
days now and can't seem to find a solution when googling - most likely
I just can't get the wording right - I get loads of stuff but none of
it really suits what i'm after.... HELP!!!

all the best

Hi,

You can capture these values using the worksheet change event. Right click
the sheet tab, view code and paste this in:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
MsgBox Target.Value & Chr(13) & Target.Address & Chr(13) & Target.Column &
Chr(13) & Target.Row
End Sub

change a cell and a message pops up with the value, address, row and column

One way:

You can get the cell reference from the Worksheet_Change() event's
Target argument:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
With Target
If .Address(False, False) = "A1" Then
.Value = x ' "do some work on it"
.Offset(0, 3).Value = y ' "update some cells on the same row"
End If
End With
End Sub

Thanks for replying. I got it covered in the end, used
Cells(Target.Row,x) like the following:

If Target.Column = 4 And (Target.Row 1 And Target.Row < 51) Then

a = Trim(Cells(Target.Row, Target.Column))

If a = "" Then
For n = 7 To 12
Cells(Target.Row, n) = ""
Next
Else

qty = AbsFromPack(a) ' grab the quantity required to
absolute

PackCal (Target.Row) ' calculate the pack details

numpacks = qty / (Cells(Target.Row, 12))
If numpacks < Int(numpacks) Then numpacks = Int(numpacks)
+ 1 ' if we have a fraction of a pack, then bump it up to the next qty

If Cells(Target.Row, 12) < "???" Then
'calculate the cost of the packs
Cells(Target.Row, 7) = numpacks: Cells(Target.Row, 8)
= (Cells(Target.Row, 5) / Cells(Target.Row, 12)) * qty
End If

End If
End If
