Hello everyone, I have another question for you.

I'm making a training ledger and I am using the following VBA to double click a cell to change the cell to a check mark.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)


    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H9:ABC2000")) Is Nothing Then


            Cancel = True 'Prevent going into Edit Mode


            Target.Font.Name = "Wingdings"


                If Target = vbNullString Then


                    Target = "ü"


                Else


                    Target = vbNullString


                End If


    End If


End Sub

I would like this VBA to work on every other column starting at "I"

I also need the same thing to work on every other column starting at "H" but fill in an "X" instead. (regular arial is fine)

"X" means required
"Check mark" means completed


Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Reegs

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
You can check to see if the column number of the Target cell is odd or even, i.e.
Code:
If Target.Column Mod 2 = 0 Then
'    Even numbered column, return "X" here
Else
'    Odd numbered column, return check mark here
End If
Just replace the comments with your appropriate code.

Thanks Joe,

After MUCH tinkering, I was able to come up with the following:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)


  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H9:ABC2000")) Is Nothing Then


            Cancel = True 'Prevent going into Edit Mode


    
                       
        If Target.Column Mod 2 = 0 Then


            Target.Font.Name = "Arial"
                   If Target = vbNullString Then
                    Target = "X"


                   Else
                   
                    Target = vbNullString
                    End If
         Else
            
            Target.Font.Name = "Wingdings"
                    If Target = vbNullString Then
                    Target = "ü"
        
                   Else
                   
                    Target = vbNullString
                    End If
         End If


     
 End If


It works !!!

Thanks again,
Reegs
