I have a table with a number of columns and rows in it and I would like to track the changes made in a specific column. I found the code (see bottom of message) online, and it works perfectly. However, it tracks “all changes”. Is there a way to make it range specific. For example I only want to track the changes made in the column with the red numbers. Please see the example:
The code I found online is the following:
Option Explicit
Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Pricing" Then Exit Sub
'On Error Resume Next
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell"
bBold = Target.HasFormula
With Sheets("Data")
'.Unprotect Password:="Secret"
If .Range("A96") = vbNullString Then
.Range("A96:H96") = Array("Cell Changed", "Old Value", _
"New Value", "Old Formula", "New Formula", "Time of Change")
End If
With .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2, 1)
.Value = ActiveSheet.Name & " : " & Target.Address
.Offset(0, 1) = vOldVal
With .Offset(0, 2)
If bBold = True Then
.ClearComments
.AddComment.Text Text:= _
"OzGrid.com:" & Chr(10) & "" & Chr(10) & _
"Bold values are the results of formulas"
End If
.Value = Target
.Font.Bold = bBold
End With
.Offset(0, 3) = Time
.Offset(0, 4) = Date
.Offset(0, 5) = Application.UserName
End With
.Cells.Columns.AutoFit
'.Protect Password:="Secret"
End With
vOldVal = vbNullString
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
vOldVal = Target
End Sub
Private Sub test()
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Please keep in mind that I'm very new to VBA coding.
You can do it by adding a single line to your existing code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Pricing" Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column <> 4 Then Exit Sub
This will just check to see if it is the 4th column of your sheet that has been changed and will ignore changes elsewhere.
