I have the following code:

Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    MsgBox "Row " & Target.Row & " has been changed."
    
End Sub

If I select cell A1 and pressed delete, it correctly shows the message:

Code:
Row 1 has been changed

However, when I selected multiple cells, for example, A1 to A3, then pressed delete, the message still only shows:

Code:
Row 1 has been changed

What can I do to make the message box show:

Code:
Row 1:3 has been changed

or perhaps make the message box appear three times:

Code:
Row 1 has been changed

and

Code:
Row 2 has been changed

and

Code:
Row 3 has been changed

Thanks

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
You could just use Target.Address and change your text:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then
    MsgBox "Cells " & Target.Address & " have been changed."
Else
    MsgBox "Cell " & Target.Address & " has been changed."
End If
End Sub

I tried other options to just display the row, but it was either only showing the first row in the selection, or the entire selection.

I managed to work it out.

Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   
    Dim rng As Range

    For Each rng In Target
 
        MsgBox "Row " & rng.Row & " has been changed."
    
    Next rng

End Sub

Interesting that you got that working. That was one of the things I tried, and it kept giving me the first row in the range instead of each different row. Then again, as I am typing this, I think I was using "MsgBox Target.Row" in the loop instead of "MsgBox rng.Row".
