Cell Formatting

Good Morning,

I need to format a few different cells in the following manners:

A1 has to always add a colon (:) after whatever is typed in by a user. Example- "F" in a cell becomes "F:"

A2 has to always be three digits- so if a user puts in "1", the cell shows "001" or if a user puts in "20" it shows as "020" and obviously a three digit number like "340" just stays "340".

A3 has to add an "'ly" to all single letter input codes. So a user might put in W 3, W-3, or W3 and I want it to show as "W'ly 3". However, sometimes the user might use NW 3, NW3, or NW3 and those should just format as "NW 3". So in conclusion, anytime a single letter (and number) are used, the letter should have "'ly" added to it and one space between the "'ly" and the number. And anytime two letters are used, they should just ensure there is a space between the two letter code and the number.

Thanks!

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Gentleman- second two of the three formulas worked perfectly.

I haven't been able to get the first one to work. Just to make sure we are on the same page (because the code looks right), if I put the letter "C" or "c" in the cell, it should be corrected to "C:".

Thanks!

Here's the direct portion

Rich (BB code): 
If sh.name = "Developer" Then  If Target.Address(0, 0) = "e42" Then
    e42 = Range("e42")
    [e42] = [IF(RIGHT(e42)<>":",e42&":",e42)]
    End If
End If

Also I tried this in the same spot
Rich (BB code): 
If sh.name = "Developer" Then
  If Target.Address = ("$A$1") Then
        If Right([E42], 1) <> ":" Then [E42] = UCase([E42] & ":")
    End If

and the whole change portion
Rich (BB code): 
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)On Error GoTo Helper
If sh.name = "Notes" _
    Or sh.name = "Ports" _
    Or sh.name = "Voyage Specifics" _
    Then Exit Sub

Also I tried this in the same spot
Code:
If sh.name = "Developer" Then
If Target.Address = ("$A$1") Then
If Right([E42], 1) <> ":" Then [E42] = UCase([E42] & ":")
End If
Click to expand...

Code: 
    If Target.Address = ("[COLOR=#ff0000]$E$42[/COLOR]") Then
        If Right([E42], 1) <> ":" Then [E42] = UCase([E42] & ":")
    End If

Sorry- so that mistake was actually fixed in my piece of code.

Issue I found here that I had missed- Cells E42 and F42 are merged. As such, your piece of code didn't work. Is there anyway around this? I usually try to avoid merged cells but this one is there for aesthetics....

It does work, at least on my worksheet, with E42 & F42 merged.

So I ran this in a new workbook without E42 and F42 merged and it didn't work. Maybe I'm missing something?
Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)


With Application
    .EnableEvents = False
    .ScreenUpdating = False


    If Target.Address = ("$E$42") Then
        If Right([E42], 1) <> ":" Then [E42] = UCase([E42] & ":")
    End If


.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
