I have the following code that won't work.

Ideally, I would like for any cell in column Q in the chart to toggle values from "" to "P" upon selection. Also I need Range("L5") to toggle 5 different values upon selection

Please see code below.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True


    With Target
        If Intersect(.Cells, Columns(17)) Is Nothing Or Intersect(.Cells, Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("L5")) Is Nothing Or .Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        Select Case .Value
        Case ""
            Worksheets(1).Unprotect Password:=""
            .Value = "P"
            Worksheets(1).Protect Password:=""
        Case "P"
           Worksheets(1).Unprotect Password:=""
           .Value = ""
           Worksheets(1).Protect Password:=""
        Case "Store Pick-up"
            Worksheets(1).Unprotect Password:=""
            .Value = "HQ Shipping"
            Worksheets(1).Protect Password:=""
        Case "HQ Shipping"
           Worksheets(1).Unprotect Password:=""
           .Value = "Store Shipping"
           Worksheets(1).Protect Password:=""
        Case "Store Shipping"
           Worksheets(1).Unprotect Password:=""
           .Value = "Supplier Drop Ship"
           Worksheets(1).Protect Password:=""
        Case "Supplier Drop Ship"
           Worksheets(1).Unprotect Password:=""
           .Value = "Store Pick-up"
           Worksheets(1).Protect Password:=""
           Exit Sub
        Case Else
            Exit Sub
        End Select
        
    End With
    Cancel = True


Application.EnableEvents = True


Worksheets(1).Protect Password:=""


End Sub

Any help on why this isn't working would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

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.
How about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Q:Q")) Is Nothing Then
      Me.Unprotect
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Target.Value = IIf(Target.Value = "", "P", "")
      Application.EnableEvents = True
      Me.Protect
   ElseIf Target.Address(0, 0) = "L5" Then
      Me.Unprotect
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Select Case Target.Value
         Case "Store Pick-up":      Target.Value = "HQ Shipping"
         Case "HQ Shipping":        Target.Value = "Store Shipping"
         Case "Store Shipping":     Target.Value = "Supplier Drop Ship"
         Case "Supplier Drop Ship": Target.Value = "Store Pick-up"
      End Select
      Me.Protect
      Application.EnableEvents = True
   End If
End Sub

That worked like a charm!!! Thanks a million. At my work PC that code crashed Excel. But the problem was not your code, it was the crappy PC my company gave me. 9 years old and only 4 GB of Ram. I just tried it on my home PC. Really good code. Thanks again.

I have one question. In your code, you wrote "If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Q:Q")) Is Nothing Then"

That allows a user to click anywhere in column Q. Is there a way to restrict it to "Q8:Q" & LastRowOfChart?

How do you define the last row of chart?

I used this code: CalculatorLastRow = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).row - 11

The contents under the chart does not change and I calculated that if I used the above code, the land row of the chart is always 11 rows above the above last cell with special attributes.

Ok, how about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
   Dim LastRow As Long
   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   LastRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row - 11
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Q8:Q" & LastRow)) Is Nothing Then
      Me.Unprotect
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Target.Value = IIf(Target.Value = "", "P", "")
      Application.EnableEvents = True
      Me.Protect
   ElseIf Target.Address(0, 0) = "L5" Then
      Me.Unprotect
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Select Case Target.Value
         Case "Store Pick-up":      Target.Value = "HQ Shipping"
         Case "HQ Shipping":        Target.Value = "Store Shipping"
         Case "Store Shipping":     Target.Value = "Supplier Drop Ship"
         Case "Supplier Drop Ship": Target.Value = "Store Pick-up"
      End Select
      Me.Protect
      Application.EnableEvents = True
   End If
End Sub

That code change made my Excel freeze. It seems to be and endless loop. I had to forcibly close Excel and restart. Any advice?

It's the specialcells that's causing the problem, Try
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
   Dim LastRow As Long
   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   LastRow = Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, , xlByRows, xlPrevious, , , False).Row - 11
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Q8:Q" & LastRow)) Is Nothing Then
      Me.Unprotect
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Target.Value = IIf(Target.Value = "", "P", "")
      Application.EnableEvents = True
      Me.Protect
   ElseIf Target.Address(0, 0) = "L5" Then
      Me.Unprotect
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Select Case Target.Value
         Case "Store Pick-up":      Target.Value = "HQ Shipping"
         Case "HQ Shipping":        Target.Value = "Store Shipping"
         Case "Store Shipping":     Target.Value = "Supplier Drop Ship"
         Case "Supplier Drop Ship": Target.Value = "Store Pick-up"
      End Select
      Me.Protect
      Application.EnableEvents = True
   End If
End Sub

Solution
That worked although I had to change -11 to -5 to get the accurate last row of the Chart. Thanks.
