How to check if a cell is part of a series of cells (not a neat ra

[Guest]

Hi All,

I want to find out if a changed cell was one of a number of cells.
The cells i want to test for are B10,B15,B20,B25,B30 etc. upto B80.

I can use the IF statement with a lot of ORs to check this but surely there
is another, cleaner way to do this. Can anyone tell me how?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Address = "$B$10" OR
Target.Address = "$B$15" OR
Target.Address = "$B$20" OR ....... THEN

code to execute

END IF

end sub

Thanks TDW,

It's cleaner code than my solution.

I'm wondering if something could be done with a name definition.
I can select the B10,B15,B20 etc cells and give them a name, but i could not
find a way to check on that name. Something like

IF Target.Name = "MyName" THEN

I tried this but it did not work. Any ideas in that direction?

Glad to help out,

In answer to your second question, I think you could use a named range along
with the Intersect() function. Have a look at the "worksheet_Change with
Formulas" posting from earlier today.

Feel free to e-mail me directly if you have any more questions; my e-mail
address can be found in my signature below.

HTH,

Thank You Timothy!

That is just what I was looking for. Now i can put any cell i want in a
named range and use

If Not ApplicationIntersect(Target, Worksheets(1).Range("MyNamedRange")) Is
Nothing Then

Works like a charm.
Thanks again and have a nice evening (at least in this timezone ;-)
