    Exclamation Extending Range in Code

    Hi,

    I have some code that stores the values the are typed into a cell. This is so I can track dates and how much they changed from start to finish.

    The code that I have does this function, but it only works for A1 and nothing else.

    I want this to work on a line by line basis as each row in excel is a different piece of work.

    this line is what triggers the code, it's looking for a cell value change in the specified range (A1). To extend the range change A1 to..... A1:A10000.....or A1:Z1.....or A1:Z10000, whatever range is needed.

    However, the code to copy bits around is done with:

    this only looks for the next available cell in row 1. In order to make this copy to the next available cell of whichever row was just changed, change it to:

    Re: Extending Range in Code

    That worked perfectly! Thanks for you help BellyGas.

    If possible I have one more question. If I wanted to offset the output from changes in column A to start printing them at the end of the spreadsheet (say from column Z onwards), is this possible?

    Thanks

    Not too sure what you mean but I'll have a guess.

    This bit selects the last column with data in it for the row that's changed and writes to it. To force this to write to column Z replace with:

    Re: Extending Range in Code

    Hi

    I don't think I explained the problem the best. I'll try again. Sorry if you have already suggested the fix above.

    People will enter dates into column A, of which each row will be an individual piece of work. I want to be able to record every new date input into column A for each row. So the code that you fixed up for me worked (it records the newly input dates like I wanted starting in column B and so on). I need this code to work how it is now (printing all input dates) but I need the printing to start in column Z but column A will still remain the place where people input dates.

    Thanks so much for you help BellyGas!

    Re: Extending Range in Code

    I'm still not fully understanding you.....I think what you mean is you want the date logging to be in column Z rather than B.....and this will do that:

    Re: Extending Range in Code

    Sorry about this.

    I still need the code to keep a track of all the values that have been entered in column A but I need to output to start in column Z then AA then AB etc.

    I have a picture that might explain better.

    This code is what I need except I need it to not start recording in the column beside A (where data is input).

    Re: Extending Range in Code

    ahhhhhh, now I get you.

    Ok, so what you want is for the code that copies the date over to choose the next empty column to write to, after column Z, not overwrite the value in column Z.

    Do this:

    What you're telling Excel is find the next available column number but if it's to the left of column Z make it column Z.
