How can I run the two below at the same time. I get an Ambiguous name detected error in VBA if i try to run them at the same time.




VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)



Dim isect As Range

Dim cell As Range

Dim dd As Variant

Dim i As Long

Dim mtch As Boolean

Dim msg As String

Dim myEntries As String



' See if any updated cells fall in H4:H500

Set isect = Intersect(Range("H4:H500"), Target)



' Exit if updated cells do not fall in H4:H500

If isect Is Nothing Then Exit Sub



Application.EnableEvents = False



' Set drop-down values

dd = Array("Apple", "orange", "Grape")



' Loop through all intersecting cells

For Each cell In isect

' See if cell entry matches any drop-down values

mtch = False

For i = LBound(dd) To UBound(dd)

If cell.Value = dd(i) Then

mtch = True

Exit For

End If

Next i

' If value is not in list, erase and return message

If mtch = False Then

cell.ClearContents

msg = msg & cell.Address(0, 0) & ","

End If

Next cell



' Build string of validation entries

For i = LBound(dd) To UBound(dd)

myEntries = myEntries & dd(i) & ","

Next i

myEntries = Left(myEntries, Len(myEntries) - 1)



' Reset validation

With Range("H4:H500").Validation

.Delete

.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _

xlBetween, Formula1:=myEntries

' .IgnoreBlank = True

' .InCellDropdown = True

' .InputTitle = ""

' .ErrorTitle = ""

' .InputMessage = ""

' .ErrorMessage = ""

' .ShowInput = True

' .ShowError = True

End With



' Return message, if necessary

If Len(msg) > 0 Then

MsgBox "Invalid entries in cells: " & vbCrLf & Left(msg, Len(msg) - 1), vbOKOnly, "ERROR!"

End If



Application.EnableEvents = True



End Sub





VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)



Dim isect As Range

Dim cell As Range

Dim dd As Variant

Dim i As Long

Dim mtch As Boolean

Dim myEntries As String

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
You cannot have multiple change event codes in the same module, try it like
VBA Code:
Set isect = Intersect(Range("H4:H500"), Target)
' Exit if updated cells do not fall in H4:H500
If Not isect Is Nothing Then
   'your code
End If

Set isect = Intersect(Range("G4:G500"), Target)
' Exit if updated cells do not fall in G4:G500
If Not isect Is Nothing Then
   'your other code
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
