Excel vba cell change events

VBA-Урок 11.2. События рабочего листа (Worksheet Events)

На предыдущем уроке мы рассматривали события, относящиеся к целой книги. Сейчас мы сфокусируемся на событиях связанных с отдельным листом.

Worksheet_SelectionChange (Открытие книги)

Чтобы выполнить инструкции, основанные на событиях для отдельного листа, выберите лист в редакторе, а затем Worksheet :

Событие SelectionChange будет добавлено по умолчанию. Это событие выполняется когда бы не изменялось содержание диапазона:

Например, следующий код добавляет цвета заливки одного или более выбранных ячеек и автоматически удаляет цвет заливки от предыдущего выбранного диапазона, когда данный диапазон меняется:

Worksheet_Activate (Событие активации листа)

Это событие возникает при активации рабочего листа

Worksheet_Deactivate (Событие деактивации листа)

Это событие возникает при активации другого рабочего листа

Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick (Событие двойного щелчка по ячейке)

Это событие возникает при двойном щелчке на ячейке рабочего листа:

Worksheet_BeforeRightClick (Событие перед правым кликом)

Это событие возникает перед самым кликом правой кнопки мыши по рабочему листу

Worksheet_Calculate (Событие перерасчета листа)

Это событие возникает каждый раз, когда рассчитываются или пересчитываются данные на рабочем листе

Worksheet_Change (Событие изменения содержимого ячейки)

Это событие возникает каждый раз, когда изменяется содержимое ячеек на заданном листе:

Worksheet_FollowHyperlink (Событие нажатия на ссылку)

Это событие возникает при нажатии на ссылку (гипертекст)

Temporarily deactivate all events (Временное отключение всех событий)

Чтобы выполнять код без каких-либо событий, вставьте его между двумя строчками такого кода:

Worksheet Change and SelectionChange Events

In this tutorial, we’ll discuss the Change and ChangeSelection worksheet events. The Worksheet_Change event-handler procedure executes whenever any cell in the worksheet is changed and Worksheet_SelectionChange event-handler procedure executes when the selection on the worksheet is changed.

The worksheet event-handler procedures must be in the code module for that worksheet. Put them somewhere else, and they won’t work. You can quickly access that code window by right-clicking the worksheet’s tab and selecting the View Code :

Worksheet_Change event procedure

The Change event triggers whenever any cell in the worksheet is changed. Excel uses the Worksheet_Change event-handler procedure to trap the Change event. The Worksheet_Change procedure accepts Target (the Range object) as the parameter which represents the cell that was changed. The following example displays a message box that shows the address of the Target range:

Try making some changing in cells, every time you make changes, a message box displays the address of the cell that changed.

Monitor changes made to specific cell or range

The Worksheet_Chnage procedure receives the Target as Range object which represents the changed cell(s). In this example, we compare the Target with the given cell range A1:A10 using Intersect method:

A popup message box appears when a change made in the given cell range:

Worksheet_Change Vs. Worksheet_Calculate

The Worksheet_Change event procedure is not executed by a calculation change, for example, when a formula returning a different value. You must use the Worksheet_Calculate event procedure to capture the changes to values in cells that contain formulas.

Worksheet_SelectionChange event procedure

The Worksheet_SelectionChange event procedure executes when a cell is selected. The following code highlights the active cell with a red color every time a different cell is selected:

The first statement removes the background color for all cells in the worksheet. Next, the the active cell is shaded with red color.

Take some action when specific cells or ranges selected

In many cases, you need to execute a piece of code when certain cells or ranges selected. To accomplish this, we use the Intersect method on the Target (selected cell or range) and the range containing the specific cell to verify the Target is one of the specific cells or ranges. If the Target is in the range containing the specific cells, you can execute the code.

The following code highlights the active cell with a red color every time a different cell is selected:

VBA Excel Worksheet.Change Event

This Excel VBA tutorial explains how to use Worksheet.Change Event.

VBA Excel Worksheet_Change Event

Excel predefines some popular actions that you would do on different Objects (worksheet, workbook, button, etc), those actions are called Event. For example, activating a worksheet is an Event, closing a workbook is an Event, clicking on a button is an event. Each Object has its own list of Events, Workbook has a list of Events (e.g. close workbook, open workbook), worksheet has a list of Events (e.g. activate worksheet, edit a Cell).

If you perform an Event, say, closing a workbook, your desired code can be triggered. For example, you may want to save a workbook automatically when you close a workbook, or you may want a welcome message box to pop up when a workbook is opened. Event is a Sub Procedure (begin with Private Sub and end with End Sub) and is generated automatically (see in the below section) with a specific name, you can call a Sub Procedure or write your own code within the Event code.

Excel Worksheet_Change Event is an Event triggered when a you leave a Cell from edit mode (even no value is changed). For example, you double click on Cell A1 to enter edit mode, the event is triggered as you press “Enter” or click on any other Cell to exit the edit mode. Excel Worksheet_Change Event is not about value change of a Cell (of course the Event will trigger if you change a value), don’t be misled by the name.

If you want to know how to capture the initial value before change in order to compare the old and new value, read the below article

How to insert Excel Worksheet_Change Event

Like all other worksheet events, you have to define the event and your desired actions within a specific worksheet where you want to Macro to trigger, each worksheet can have its own independent events.

1) Press Alt+F11 to enter into Visual Basic Editor

2) In the Project Explorer Window on the left, double click on the target worksheet

3) On top of the coding area, select “Worksheet” in the drop down box on the left, and then select “Change”.

4) Now you should be able to see two lines of code as below. Insert your action code between the two lines.

Example of Excel Worksheet_Change Event

For example, I want to prompt a message box if column A value >100.

In the above code, “Target” is the Range you make a change. Target.Column = 1 bounds the checking to column A.

Trigger Macro when Value Changes

Below is a solution I copied and pasted from Microsoft Community that was answered by me.

Question

How can you instruct a macro to run when a certain cell changes?

For example, as soon as text in cell A1 changes, a macro is triggered.

Worksheet_Change Event:

You can auto run a VBA code, when content of a worksheet cell changes, with the Worksheet_Change event. The change event occurs when cells on the worksheet are changed either by the user, or by any VBA application or by an external link, but not when a cell changes due to recalculation as a result from formula or due to format change. For changes made by calculation, use Worksheet_Calculate event.

Worksheet change procedure is installed with the worksheet, ie. it must be placed in the code module of the appropriate Sheet object. To create a worksheet change event: use the Visual Basic Editor -> in the Project Explorer, double click on the appropriate sheet (under ‘Microsoft Excel Objects’ which is under the VBAProject/name of your workbook) -> in the Code window, select «Worksheet» from the left-side «General» drop-down menu and then select «Change» from the right-side «Declarations» drop-down menu. You will get a procedure «shell» in the code window as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Target is a parameter of data type Range (ie. Target is a Range Object). It refers to the changed Range and can consist of one or multiple cells. If Target is in the defined Range, and its value or content changes, it will trigger the vba procedure. If Target is not in the defined Range, nothing will happen in the worksheet. In this manner, you can limit the events to a particular range for both the Change and SelectionChange events. This can be done in multiple ways:

Using Target Address. Trigger the procedure, if a single cell (A5) value is changed:

If Target.Address = «$A$5» Then MsgBox «Success»

If Target.Address = Range(«$A$5»).Address Then MsgBox «Success»

If Target.Address = Range(«A5»).Address Then MsgBox «Success»

Using Target Address. If cell (A1) or cell (A3) value is changed:

If Target.Address = «$A$1» Or Target.Address = «$A$3» Then MsgBox «Success»

Using Target Address. If any cell(s) value other than that of cell (A1) is changed:

If Target.Address <> «$A$1» Then MsgBox «Success»

The following use of Target.Address is not correct, and the code will not run:

If Target.Address = «$a$5» Then MsgBox «Success»

If Target.Address = «A1» Then MsgBox «Success»

If Target.Address = «$A$1:$A$10» Then MsgBox «Success»

If Target.Address = Range(«$A$1:$A$10») Then MsgBox «Success»

Note : Target.Address should be an absolute reference [unless used as Range(«A5»).Address — see above] and in Caps. Use this to run code when content of a single cell is changed or when any cell(s) other than a specific cell is changed.

Trigger the procedure, if any cell in a column(s) is changed, say for any change in a cell in column B or column C:

If Target.Column = 2 Or Target.Column = 3 Then MsgBox «Success»

Intersect method for a single cell. If Target intersects with the defined Range of A1 ie. if cell (A1) value is changed, the code is triggerred:

If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range(«A1»)) Is Nothing Then MsgBox «Success»

Trigger the procedure, if at least one cell of Target is A1,B2,C3:

If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range(«A1,B2,C3»)) Is Nothing Then MsgBox «Success»

At least one cell of Target is within the range C5:D25:

If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range(«C5:D25»)) Is Nothing Then MsgBox «Success»

If you want the code to run when only a single cell in Range(«C1:C10») is changed and do nothing if multiple cells are changed:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Intersect(Target, Range(«C1:C10»)) Is Nothing Or Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then

End Sub

Preventing Event Loops with Application.EnableEvents = False

Example of a recursive loop code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range(«A1:A10»)) Is Nothing Then

Range(«A5»).Value = Range(«A5»).Value + 1

End Sub

Recursive Event Loop:

If, at each runtime, the worksheet_change event changes the content of a cell which itself is part of the Target Range (ie. which triggers the change event), it will result in reprocessing the change event repeatedly. Recursion is the process of repeating in a similar way viz. when the procedure calls itself. Refer to above example of a recursive loop code, if any cell content in Range(«A1:A10») is changed by the user, the cell A5 value will change and increment by 1; this will again trigger the change event [because of change in value of cell A5 which is in the Target Range(«A1:A10»)] and will in turn change the cell A5 value by incrementing it by 1; and then this change in cell A5 will again trigger the change event and change the cell A5 value by incrementing it by 1; and so on. This will result in a recursive loop which might result in a ‘Out Of Stack Space’ untrappable error, or depending on the Excel setting, the loop might terminate at a threshold limit of say 100. To prevent this, enter the following at the beginning of the code: Application.EnableEvents = False. This means that any change made by the VBA code will not trigger any event and will not enable restarting the worksheet_change event. EnableEvents is not automatically changed back to True, this should be specifically done in your code, by adding the following line at the end of the code: Application.EnableEvents = True. Meanwhile, if during runtime, your code encounters an error, you will need an ErrorHandler (to change EnableEvents back to True) because events have been disabled in the beginning of the code. This can be done as follows.

ErrorHandler, Example 1:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

‘on the occurrence of an error procedure flow is directed to the error-handling routine (ie. ErrHandler) which handles the error
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

‘to prevent recursion — so that any change made by code will not trigger an event to restart the Worksheet_Change event

‘on changing cell A1 or B1, go to ErrorHandler which reverts EnableEvents to True & then exit sub

If Target.Address = «$A$1» Or Target.Address = «$B$1» Then GoTo ErrorHandler

‘if value of any cell in column 1 or 2 is changed

If Target.Column = 1 Or Target.Column = 2 Then

‘if changed cell value is numeric ie. new value is not text

If IsNumeric(Target) Then

‘increment cell B2 value by 1

Range(«B2»).Value = Range(«B2»).Value + 1

‘EnableEvents is not automatically changed back to True & hence this needs to be done specifically at the end of the code before exit.

‘because an exit statement (ex. Exit Sub) is not placed above, the error-handling routine will also execute when there is no error.

End Sub

ErrorHandler, Example 2:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error Resume Next ‘skip all run-time errors

If Target.Address = «$A$1» Or Target.Address = «$B$1» Then Exit Sub

If Target.Column = 1 Or Target.Column = 2 Then

If IsNumeric(Target) Then

Range(«B2»).Value = Range(«B2»).Value + 1

On Error GoTo 0 ‘Turn off error trapping and re-allow run time errors

End Sub

On Error Statements explained:

On Error Resume Next: Specifies that when a run-time error occurs, control goes to the statement immediately following the statement where the error occurred, and execution continues from that point.

The On Error GoTo 0 statement turns off error trapping. It disables enabled error handler in the current procedure and resets it to Nothing.

On Error GoTo Line: Enables the error-handling routine that starts at the specified Line. The On Error GoTo statement traps all errors, regardless of the exception class.

Worksheet_Change Event

You may want to run a macro when a cell changes. A popular use of this ability is to have custom code validate a cell after a change is made. It’s easy to do this by using the worksheet objects change event.

In the Visual Basic Editor you must first double click the sheet name where the cell changes that activates the macro. This opens the code window for that sheet object. In this case I wanted to run a macro when a cell in Sheet1 changes.

After opening the code window for the Worksheet you place your code in the Worksheet_Change event. The following example will display a message box if the contents of cell A1 change. First the subroutine fires if any cell changes, then the use of an IF..Then statement will run the code only if cell A1 was the cell that changed based on the If…Then.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)



If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then

     MsgBox "This Code Runs When Cell A1 Changes!"

End If



End Sub

You can place your code directly in the Worksheet_Change subroutine or call another macro from there.
