Thread: find if cell value changed

    find if cell value changed

    Hi,
    I am having an Excel where the users need to fill in all the details in a row from column 4 to 8. so the values on column 5 depends on column 4 and value on column 6 depends on column 5 and henceforth..

    I need to detect if later the user changed the value in column 4 then I need to clear all the values on columns 5,6,7,8 for that row.

    Please advice how this is possible.

    Thanks,
    Mahesh

    I think this will do what you want:[vba]Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Intersect(Target, Columns(4)) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Target.Offset(, 1).Resize(, 4).ClearContents
    End Sub[/vba]

    'Save changed rows
    Option Explicit
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Column = 4 Then
    Sheets(2).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = Target.Row
    End If
    End Sub

    'Remove changes
    Sub Reset()
    On Error GoTo Exits
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    With Sheets(2)
    Dim cel As Range
    For Each cel In .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown))
    Sheets(1).Cells(cel, 5).Resize(, 4).ClearContents
    cel.ClearContents
    Next
    End With
    Exits:
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End Sub

    Put a button on the sheet next to where the data is written and assign it to the macro. When you see recorded changes and wish to clear it, then click the button.
