Hi,

I want to add a variable into the body of text to say, you have an investigation to complete on "x" but I'm unsure how to do so. The information is stored in A. This is the code I have so far, I'm still at very early stages of VBA so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you :)

Dim Xrg As Range

If Intersect(Range("E2:ZZ1000"), Target) Is Nothing Or Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

If IsNumeric(Target.Value) Then

If Target.Value >= 3 Then

MailAddress = Range("S" & Target.Row).Value
MailAddress_CC = Range("T" & Target.Row).Value

Call Mail_small_Text_Outlook(MailAddress, MailAddress_CC)

' Send the email
emailItem.Send


End If

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.

Untested code but try with an additional parameter for the date within the email sub. As generated via the change event sub.

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

Dim MailAddress As String
Dim MailAddress_CC As String
Dim ByDate As String  '<<<<<<<<
On Error Resume Next

If Intersect(Range("E2:ZZ1000"), Target) Is Nothing Or Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

If IsNumeric(Target.Value) Then

If Target.Value >= 3 Then

MailAddress = Range("S" & Target.Row).Value
MailAddress_CC = Range("T" & Target.Row).Value

'String of Date in A
ByDate = CDate(Cells(Target.Row, 1))    '<<<<<<<<<<

Call Mail_small_Text_Outlook(MailAddress, MailAddress_CC, ByDate)   '<<<<<<

' Send the email
emailItem.Send


End If

End If

End Sub

VBA Code:
Sub Mail_small_Text_Outlook(MailAddress As String, MailAddress_CC As String, ByDate As String)  '<<< Inc date parameter
Dim xOutApp As Object
Dim xOutMail As Object
Dim cell As Range
Dim strbody As String

Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xOutMail = xOutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next
With xOutMail
.To = MailAddress
.Cc = MailAddress_CC
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Driver Errors Investigation"
.htmlBody = "Hi," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "You have driver error investigations to complete on" & ByDate & ""  '<<<<<<<<<<

End With

That's worked perfectly thank you so much! Another quick question the trigger "target.value>=3 is works off imported information so the code will only trigger the email when the number is manual inputted, is there any way you can code it so when the information is imported the email will still generate?

Glad it helped.
Difficult for me to comment re the importation.
Maybe post import. you have a macro that scans the data for instances of ??>=3 and fires off emails accordingly?

Hi, as you can see from the attachment when the offence number column is >=3 it will flag the email but all the information regarding employee name, clock in time and date is all imported into a master sheet. If the offence number is manually inputted it will work but unfortunately it won't work if it's imported in.

Thank you again :)

When I said '...post, import...' I was meaning post as in 'after' your import :LOL:

Anyway, give or take the odd mistake / assumption in interpreting your data then maybe along these lines?
Again, code not tested.

VBA Code:
Sub Check_Offences()

Dim MailAddress As String
Dim MailAddress_CC As String
Dim ByDate As String
DimLr As Long
Dim r As Long
On Error Resume Next


With Sheets("Report")

'Get last row

Lr = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For Each cell In .Range("J2:J" & Lr)
   
        If IsNumeric(cell) And cell >= 3 And Not cell.Offset(0, 2) = "Y" Then '<<< Assumes 'Email Sent'  Confirmation Y' ' in column L <<< ???(Offset 2)
            r = cell.Row
            MailAddress = .Range("S" & r).Value
            MailAddress_CC = .Range("T" & r).Value
           
            'String of Date in C  '??
            ByDate = CDate(.Range("C" & r))
           
            Call Mail_small_Text_Outlook(MailAddress, MailAddress_CC, ByDate)   '<<<<<<

Sorry for such a delayed response to this but it doesn't seem to be working. I've attached an example of what it should look like. The personnel ID, Date and clocked in all the imported data. This is the current code I have.

You've been such a great help so far, Thank you!

I think we have a classic case here of poster knowing exactly what they have and want but maybe not conveying same to a helper who makes assumptions and gets them a bit wrong! ;)
From seeing your latest post, I think I am a tad wiser.
Can you please confirm or otherwise inform on the following points?

'Lates' data extract above typical of imported data set but there are additional columns?
You wish code to scan this data-set and send email where offences are >= 3 ?
Will you scan any data-set more than once? As in, do we need to indicate when an email has been sent for a given row, so that it is disregarded for subsequent scans?
If so, which blank column do you have available to take a 'Y' to indicate email sent?

I had assumed that 'you have an investigation to complete on "x"' in your initial post meant that x was a date!! Hence my code trying to create a date for 'ByDate' variable.
I now believe it to be an employee name.
So, in your code :
ByDate. = Name from Column A Shall we call that EmpName
ByDate1 = Date from Column C Shall we call that OnDate
ByDate2 = Minutes late from Column V Shall we call that MinLate
ByDate3 = Number of Offences from Column K Shall we call that NumOffs

eMail address for recipient to be found in Column S of row ?
email address for CC to be found in Column T of row?
