I have a range of cells (H6:H45) that the user can change, validated by cell validation.
When they change one of those cells, I wish to process some code based on that entry.

I first have to find which cell was changed, and if that cell that changed is within range H6:H45, execute the change.

I assume the code goes into the worksheet change event code. (See my code highlighted in blue below as an attempt to do this.)

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim fmr_month As String
    Dim ta As Range
    Dim rng_ta as range
    'Stop
    If Not mbevents Then Exit Sub
    With ws_dsched
     
      'YEAR
        If Target.Address = "$D$2" Then
       
        'ERROR CHECK
            'if year entered is text
            If IsNumeric(.Range("D2")) = False Then
                MsgBox "Please enter a valid year. [>2019]", vbCritical, "INVALID YEAR"
                mbevents = False
                .Range("D2") = td_yr
                .Unprotect
                n_date = DateSerial(td_yr, td_month, td_day)
                .Protect
                mbevents = True
                Exit Sub
            End If
            'if year is post season
            pyear = Format(DateAdd("yyyy", -1, td_date), "yyyy")
            If .Range("D2") < CInt(pyear) Then
                MsgBox "Please enter a valid year. [>" & pyear & "]", vbCritical, "INVALID YEAR"

        Else
            MsgBox ta & " out of range."
        End If

    End With
End Sub

I am using this function to determine whether the changed cell falls within the range.

Code:
Function InRange(Range1 As ta, rng_ta As Range) As Boolean
    ' returns True if ta is within rng_ta
    Dim InterSectRange As Range
    Set InterSectRange = Application.Intersect(ta, rng_ta)
    InRange = Not InterSectRange Is Nothing
    Set InterSectRange = Nothing
End Function

I am getting a "Type mismatch error" with the line highlighted in red.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Remove .Address(0,0)

Just curious why not just use Target?

How about?

VBA Code:
  Set rng_ta = Range("H6:H45")

  MsgBox Target.Address & " has been changed."
  If Not Application.Intersect(rng_ta, Range(Target.Address)) Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox Target.Address & " is within range H6:H45"
  Else
    MsgBox Target.Address & " out of range."
  End If
  Set rng_ta = Nothing

Thank you CSmith! This is a new concept for me, so I grabbed the first suggestion from Google to cover this concept. This has been a very educational solution for me.
Is there a way that I can set target.address as a variable? I will be using that address may times. eg. how would I get the value from that address?

You could however Target.Address can be a range and not just a cell Range.Address

What do you think you need it in a variable for?

As I think about it, I likely wouldn't. I think I will need the value at that address more than the address itself. How would I get the value in that address or assign a value to that address? Or get the row and column number of that address?

You should know the rules regarding cross posting by now.
Please comply with them.
Thanks

FYI, since Target is already a Range object, there is almost never any point to using Range(Target.Address)

Thanks Rory. As I continue moving forward in my code, I'm starting to see that.
