Navigating with macros on a existing Workbook

EE Professionals,

EE has helped me develop a neat little App. for scheduling tasks and assigning roles/responsibilities. I'm having some challenges with "navigation" - When you put in a priority, the app. automatically changes the order/priority. The updating for the chart is automatic when you put in new data in the ajointing cells.

What I'd like to see is that you can put in all the data on a row and the information is updated either when the priority is set (Col. A) or when the Role is assigned (Col. E). Also, the cursor needs to move to the next cell rather then reset to a particular cell.

Any improvement would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

B.

I'm working on a fix - but a simple way would be to have a flag for "AutoUpdate" I put one in E2. This can be tied to a Form Control Checkbox.

Hope this helps.

Easier than I thought - just wrap your Worksheet_Change code with:

If ActiveCell.Column = 1 Or ActiveCell.Column = 5 Then
...
End if

Feel free to remove the other wrapper if you do not want the Checkbox:
If (UCase(Trim(Range("E2").Value)) = "TRUE") Then
...
End if

Thanks

>> Also, the cursor needs to move to the next cell rather then reset to a particular cell.

This is fixed by adding a "memory" cell regarding the activecell rather than the target

Dim myCurrentCell As String
myCurrentCell = ActiveCell.Address

and referencing myCurrentCell in place of:

'Target.Select

Range(myCurrentCell).Select

Hope this covers all the bases

slycoder,

This looks great! Two small things here, is there a way that when you put a priority in a cell in col. A, that it won't flicker and that it will put the cursor into the blank cell that has opened up? So if I put in 7.5, and it opens up another row, the cursor will be in cell B next to 7.5?

Also, what considerations should I have if I want to move around either the input area or the chart? I don't need specifics, just a few sentences of caution or do this......

Much thanks, again, looks great.

I'll stop posting the full spreadsheet (unless requested).

Change the Worksheet_Change function to have the following:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    Dim myCurrentCell As String
    myCurrentCell = ActiveCell.Address
    
    If (UCase(Trim(Range("E2").Value)) = "TRUE") Then
    
        If Target.Column = 1 Or Target.Column = 5 Then
        
            Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        
            Dim LastR As Long
            
            With Me
                LastR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
                If Not Intersect(Me.Range("a12:a" & LastR), Target) Is Nothing Then
                    With Application
                        .EnableEvents = False
                        .ScreenUpdating = False
                    End With
                    With .Sort
                        .SortFields.Clear
                        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A12"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, _
                            DataOption:=xlSortNormal
                        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B12"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, _
                            DataOption:=xlSortNormal
                        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("C12"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, _
                            DataOption:=xlSortNormal
                        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("D12"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, _
                            DataOption:=xlSortNormal
                        .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("E12"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, _
                            DataOption:=xlSortNormal
                            
                            
                        .SetRange Range("A12:E" & LastR)
                        .Header = xlYes
                        .MatchCase = False
                        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
                        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
                        .Apply
                    End With
                    With Application
                        .EnableEvents = True
                        .ScreenUpdating = True
                        End With
                End If
            End With
            PopulateRasciTable
            'Target.Select
            Range(myCurrentCell).Select
            
            If Target.Column = 1 And ActiveCell.Column = 2 Then
           '     ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
            Debug.Print ActiveCell.Value, ActiveCell.Address
                Do While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
                    ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
                Loop
            End If
    
            Application.ScreenUpdating = True
            
        End If
    
    End If

>>> what considerations should I have ...

I'm not sure - basically work with the users that will be doing the data entry and see how they work, what pitfalls they come across and what ideas they have.

I've learned - it's hard to make programs fool-proof because fools are so ingenious!
