I have been trying to solve this for if a quantity cell is changed, but can't figure how to avoid if the cell was blank first. I only want to adjust the font color if the cell had a value in it prior to being changed.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim QtyCell As Range
    Set QtyCell = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, Range("Qty").Column)
    If Target.Address = QtyCell.Address Then
        'Check If QTY is Changed and adjust Font Color to Red


    End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Are you manually changing these cell values, one at a time?
If so, then you should be able to the a "Worksheet_SelectionChange" event procedure to capture the existing sheet value as you select the cell (and store it in a global variable).
Then you can use that global variable in a comparison in your existing "Worksheet_Change" event procedure.

I am changing the cells manually, one at a time. This method worked perfectly, had to call the global variable outside of the worksheet object but I stored it through the Worksheet_SelectionChange and could use it in Worksheet_Change. Thanks for the help!
