How to use VBA code to select if cell contains any text return text in another cell
Requirement:
The user is currently working on a project and needs the words "In Progress" to appear in one cell, when a customer's name appears in another cell, in a different column. The user is using VBA and have tried many different formulas, but none of them work when the user plugs in a customer's name.
Solution:
Copy and paste this macro into the worksheet code module. Do the following: right click the tab for your "In-Progress" sheet and click 'View Code'. Paste the macro into the empty code window that opens up. Close the code window to return to your sheet. Enter a value in column A and exit the cell.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target <> "" Then
Range("E" & Target.Row) = "In Progress"
Else
Range("E" & Target.Row) = ""
End If
End Sub
