run code only when certain cells selected

trevorc · #1 06-19-2018, 12:57 AM

Hi All,
I'm trying to get the code below to run via a button click only when the active/selected cell is within a certain range. Currently that is between B2 and X5000, this is were I have customer data, and not if the cursor is anywere else on the sheet. I have tried - If Sheets("Clipsal Customer").Range.Selection("A4:Z5000") Then, but this throws up the error. Also tried to use If Not Intersect(Target, Sh.Range("A4:A5000")) Is Nothing Then... but can't get that to work either.
W
hat I need is code that first checks if the currently selected cell is within the desiered range then run the code.
Any help is appriciated.

Code:

 Sub button_click1()
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Range("B3") = Date
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Range("B4") = Range("a" & Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 4, 4))
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Range("B5") = Range("g" & Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 4, 4))
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Range("B6") = Range("h" & Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 4, 4))
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Range("B7") = Range("i" & Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 4, 4))
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Range("B8") = Range("j" & Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 4, 4))
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Range("B9") = Range("k" & Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 4, 4))
        Sheets("Payment Advice").Select
End Sub

Found this on Stack overflow. Not sure why it won't display the code any better ?

Determine if a cell is within a range using VBA in Microsoft Excel:
From the linked site (maintaining credit to original submitter):

VBA macro tip contributed by Erlandsen Data Consulting offering Microsoft Excel Application development, template customization, support and training solutions

Code:

Function InRange(Range1 As Range, Range2 As Range) As Boolean    ' returns True if Range1 is within Range2    InRange = Not (Application.Intersect(Range1, Range2) Is Nothing)End FunctionSub TestInRange()    If InRange(ActiveCell, Range("A1:D100")) Then        ' code to handle that the active cell is within the right range        MsgBox "Active Cell In Range!"    Else        ' code to handle that the active cell is not within the right range        MsgBox "Active Cell NOT In Range!"    End If End Sub

FWIW, I'd write your code more like this:

Code:

Sub button_click1()
    Dim lRow As Long
    lRow = ActiveCell.Row
    If ActiveSheet Is Sheets("Clipsal Customer") Then
        If Not Intersect(ActiveCell, Sheets("Clipsal Customer").Range("A4:Z5000")) Is Nothing Then
            With Sheets("Payment Advice")
                .Range("B3") = Date
                .Range("B4") = Cells(lRow, "a").Value
                .Range("B5") = Cells(lRow, "g").Value
                .Range("B6") = Cells(lRow, "h").Value
                .Range("B7") = Cells(lRow, "i").Value
                .Range("B8") = Cells(lRow, "j").Value
                .Range("B9") = Cells(lRow, "k").Value
                .Select
            End With
        End If
    End If
End Sub
