if target.column = 1 or 2 or 3 ? Help !

Hi all,
I have a macro where I am using an if statement to execute functions on cells in certain columns. I need to know how to phrase the multiple choice "IF" statement (if target.column = 1 or 2 or 3 ?)

any help would be appreciated.

Phil.

If Target.Column < 4 Then (nt)

What about target.column= 6 or 9 or 11 ?

The or statement seems only to work for the last value in the range.

Phil,

If you are doing slightly different things to the various coulmns, you might want to use a Select Case statement. Then you can list all your columns:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
    Select Case Target.Column

        Case Is = 3
            MsgBox "You're in column 3"

        Case Is = 1, 2, 4
            MsgBox "You're in column " & Target.Column

        Case Is >= 5
            MsgBox "You're in column " & Target.Column

    End Select
End Sub

have fun

Excellent. Thank you ! n/t

Case Is = 3 MsgBox "You're in column 3" Case Is = 1, 2, 4 MsgBox "You're in column " & Target.Column Case Is >= 5 MsgBox "You're in column " & Target.Column End Select

: The or statement seems only to work for the last value in the range.
