Workbook_SheetChange triggered to many times

[Devvy D]

Hi there!

When user enters some text in a cell, I use macros to validate.
If there are some incorrect data I want to correct this
programmatically. So I use the SheetChange event.

The problem is that when I correct what the user entered, the event
is fired once again, and then again and again and again... I think you
understand the problem...

How can I work around this problem, is it for example possible to
temporarily disable the event?

Best Regards

Before you write to the cell, tell excel to stop looking for changes.


application.enableevents = false
'your code here
application.enableevents = true

Thanks a lot, never used that before, but it works like a charm!
