I'm trying to make a spreadsheet such that when the day changes (Cell B2), an operator changes another cell and a third cell is cleared. On top of that, whenever a value is entered into a fourth cell, it is added to a fifth cell and the fourth cell clears. My code is below. When I enter a value in the fourth cell, I get the message "Method 'Value' of object 'Range' failed." When I change Cell B2, no errors or issues arise. When I debug, the fourth line from the bottom is highlighted.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range) Dim KeyCells As Range


Set KeyCells = Range("B2")

If Not Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(target.Address)) _
Is Nothing Then


Range("A2").Value = Range("A2").Value - Range("F2").Value
Range("F2").Clear
Range("F2").NumberFormat = "_($* #,##0.00_);_($* (#,##0.00);_($* ""-""??_);_(@_)"


End If


Set KeyCells = Range("G2")

If Not Application.Intersect(KeyCells, Range(target.Address)) _
Is Nothing Then


Range("F2").Value = Range("F2").Value + Range("G2").Value *THIS LINE IS HIGHLIGHTED WHEN I DEBUG*
Range("G2").Clear

End If
End Sub

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Before the error message populates, all functions are carried out as expected. I have to end the program or debug, which is finalized by ending the program.

Hi, welcome to the forum! When you are changing cells within a change event macro you need to toggle events on and off to prevent the code recursively calling itself over and over again.

You should add this line before you attempt to change any cells on the worksheet:

Code:
Application.EnableEvents = False

And this afterwards.

Code:
Application.EnableEvents = True
