Interval and Frequency Timing

I am looking for a solution that was noted in post 40952095 which has to do with the ability for a Frequency selection to always be less in time then the Interval it is contained in.

 

For example, if the Interval Metric were 'Day' then the only choices for Frequency Measure should be 'Second', 'Minute', 'Hour' and 'Day'.

Thank you,

B.

It actually works better in the Worksheet_Change because when there I can remove the Frequency Measure if the change to the Interval Metric makes the Frequency Measure invalid. For example if the Frequency was 'Day' and the Metric was changed to 'Hour' then the code removes the Frequency because it's not valid.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Don't allow the coice of a Frequency Measure to be a longer time period
' than the Interval Metric
Dim strEndCol As String
Dim cel As Range
Dim bFound As Boolean

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C10")) Is Nothing Then
    With Target.Offset(1, 0).Validation
        .Delete
        Select Case Target '.Offset(-1, 0)
            Case "Second"
                strEndCol = "C"
            Case "Minute"
                strEndCol = "D"
            Case "Hour"
                strEndCol = "E"
            Case "Day"
                strEndCol = "F"
            Case "Week"
                strEndCol = "G"
            Case "Month"
                strEndCol = "H"
            Case "Year"
                strEndCol = "I"
        End Select
        .Add Type:=xlValidateList, Formula1:="=C56:" & strEndCol & "56"
        For Each cel In Range(Target.Offset(1, 0).Validation.Formula1)
            If cel.Value = Target.Offset(1, 0) Then
               bFound = True
               Exit For
            End If
        Next
        If Not bFound Then
            Range("C11") = ""
        End If
    End With
End If
End Sub

Hi again B.

If you can confirm what should be shown in cell [C7] ("Frequency Measure") if "Second" is in cell [C6] "Interval Metric", then I can adjust this suggestion accordingly.

However, I have placed the following Data Validation formula in cell [C7] ("Frequency Measure"):

=INDIRECT("$C$52:"&ADDRESS(52,1+IF(MATCH(C6,C52:I52,0)<2,2,MATCH(C6,C52:I52,0))))

No other changes are necessary to the workbook, or to the Visual Basic for Applications code.

(If "Second" is in cell [C6], "Second" can also be selected in cell [C7]; this may not be as you intended)

Please see the attached workbook.

Thanks guys!  I ran through both solutions and they both work as far as I can tell.  Martin, you were in first and the refinement looks good.  Fanpages, thanks as always in also providing a solution.

You guys are great.
