"Last Changed By" Cell

[Guest]

Dear Experts,
I have a spreadheet that many people are inputing, and I would like to
capture the name of the last person who updated a certain cell in the nearby
cell (well, inputs in one column, changes tracking in the nearby column).
I would like to do so through some VBA code, could you please help me?

Many, many thanks in advance!
Best regards,

Hi
put the following code in your worksheet module:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo errhandler
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
.Offset(0, 1).Value = Application.UserName
.Offset(0, 2).Value = Format(Date, "DD-MMM-YYYY")
End With

errhandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Hi Frank,
I have tried it but I must be doing something wrong, since nothing seems to
happen...
I have put your code in the worksheet module, and then I have tried to
modify some cells in the range from A1 to A100, but as said, nothing has
happened!

Could you please help me again?
Thank you!
Best regards,

Valeria

Hi
and you have put it in the worksheet module of this specific sheet?. If
you like email me your test file and I'll have a look at it

Hi Valeria,
You install by right clicking on the worksheet tab, view code, insert Frank's code.
It is a worksheet event macro, you can read more about them at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm

If you ran an Event macro and did not make it the error handler
as in Frank's code or there isn't one, you may have to make sure
you have events enabled. In the VBE first

you can type this into the Intermediate Window (Ctrl+G) of the VBE
first see if you had a problem
Application.EnableEvents
then if it shows False fix it, by typing this into the Intermediate Window
Application.EnableEvents = True
