I am using VBA calendar to input dates in my workbook. I have added code to my worksheet to call calendar on double click of cell. So basically when I double click cell in range I get calendar form, where I pick up the date and then it is inserted in double clicked cell. The problem is if I already have some date in cell and double click it and then just close calendar instead of picking up some date it inserts 1.1.1990 or 00:00:00. How I can make to leave existing date if I just press close?

I have used this calendar:

Code to call calendar form by double clicking cell in range:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)


  Dim xRg As Object


    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("E7:F187")) Is Nothing Then dateVariable = CalendarForm.GetDate
   
  For Each xRg In Selection.Cells
  xRg.Value = dateVariable
  Next xRg


   
End Sub
 

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.
What about

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)


  Dim xRg As Object


    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("E7:F187")) Is Nothing Then dateVariable = CalendarForm.GetDate
  if datevariable=0 then
   exit sub
  else
  For Each xRg In Selection.Cells
  xRg.Value = dateVariable
  Next xRg
End if
'datevariable=0


    [COLOR=#333333]End Sub[/COLOR]

If it does not work with =0, you can try with cancel, nothing or close

Hello,

You could test following

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
  With Target
        If .Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Intersect(.Cells, Me.Range("E7:F187")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
        If .Value > 0 Then Exit Sub
        .Value = CalendarForm.GetDate
        .NumberFormat = "dd-mmm-yy"
        Cancel = True
  End With
End Sub

Hope this will help

This one works, the only problem is that after closing my calendar form my cell gets selected and I see formula inside my cell. How I can make it close my calendar form without selecting cell after it?
