Auto update a date
How do I have a cell auto update with the current date whenever a value in its row changes Thanks Dave
Let's say that you want the current date/time in column M whenever a cell in columns A to L is changed by the user.
Right-click the sheet tab.
Select 'View Code' from the context menu.
Copy the following code into the worksheet module:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rw As Range
If Not Intersect(Range("A:L"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each rw In Intersect(Range("A:L"), Target).Rows
Range("M" & rw.Row).Value = Now
Next rw
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End SubSwitch back to Excel.
Save the workbook as a macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm).
Make sure that you allow macros when you open the workbook.
I know it won't help the OP, but if it's possible the user will be adding/deleting a good number of cells at one time, you could cut down on the macro run time by addressing column M as one range instead of one cell at a time.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Range("A:L"), target) Is Nothing Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Intersect(Intersect(Range("A:L"), target).EntireRow, Range("M:M")).Value = Now
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub
