Macro formula help
I am trying to create a macro to populate future dates once a location and date are entered into a row. I enter the address and dig date then framing is +15 days from dig date, RI is +35 days from di...
I'd still use a formula. Store days after dig for Framing in a cell, say in Z1. You can then use
=B2+$Z$1.
Similarly, store days after dig for RI in another cell, say Z2, and use =B2+$Z$2
And so on.
- I didn't know if I could avoid having to drag down the formulas for new address that will be added of if a macro could be created to update them once a new address is added with the dig date.
If you prefer VBA code:
Right-click the sheet tab.
Select 'View Code' from the context menu.
Copy the code listed below into the worksheet module.
Switch back to Excel.
Save the workbook as a macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm)
Make sure that you allow macros when you open it.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Const Interval1 = 15 Const Interval2 = 35 Const Interval3 = 110 Dim rng As Range Dim dtm As Date If Not Intersect(Range("B2:B" & Rows.Count), Target) Is Nothing Then Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.EnableEvents = False For Each rng In Intersect(Range("B2:B" & Rows.Count), Target) If rng.Value = "" Or Not IsDate(rng.Value) Or rng.Offset(0, -1).Value = "" Then rng.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 3).ClearContents Else dtm = rng.Value rng.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, 3).Value = _ Array(dtm + Interval1, dtm + Interval2, dtm + Interval3) End If Next rng Application.EnableEvents = True Application.ScreenUpdating = True End If End Sub- Sorry for being so needy, but I'm trying to learn VBA, if I wanted to specify columns and not just an array is that possible? for example "AK", "BI", "BQ" instead of "C", "D", "E"?
