Filling cells based on another cell content

Hi all

A bit of a complicated on in my eyes.

Table is as shown

If a "N" was to be entered in cells G10:G21, I would like the corresponding row cell contents from column B to E to be copied into a new table starting at B35. In addition, if a further "N" is added in G10:G21, I want that corresponding cell contents to be copied into the next available row in the table starting at B35. I hope this makes sense! I have explained better I think in the image.

Many thanks in advance - this would really help me out!

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Like this?

Wasn't sure where the column ended, so guessed row 44

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)    Dim KeyCells As Range


    Set KeyCells = Range("G10:G21")


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


        If Target.Value = "N" Then
        Range(Cells(Target.Row, 2), Cells(Target.Row, 3)).Copy Cells(44, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
        End If
        
    End If
End Sub

Blimey that was quick. Thank you so much.

Do I need to change anything in the script you posted (such as work sheet names etc?) and where do i paste it?

OK Thanks.

I right click on the tab for that worksheet and "view code". On the top left window the correct worksheet is highlighted.

I copied and paste the code onto the code sheet at the very top - the "Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim KeyCells As Range" is all in red.

When I make changes to the data (i.e. change the Y to a N - I get an error - Compile Error - expected end of statement and the "Dim" above is highlighted!!

Apologies - but I don't really understand the code flow so have no idea where to start to fault diagnose!

Found that error. Move the Dim to the next row (bad copy and paste, apologies)

Thanks for that - awesome quick response.

However now, I do not get the error but the cells are not copying.

Is "N" being entered? (Not "n")

Does this produce a message?

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim KeyCells As Range


    Set KeyCells = Range("G10:G21")




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


        If Target.Value = "N" Then
        MsgBox "N entered"
        'Range(Cells(Target.Row, 2), Cells(Target.Row, 3)).Copy Cells(44, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
        End If
        
    End If


End Sub

Hi again

thank you again for the swift reply - I am wondering if I have slightly mislead you - if I have - god I am sorry! I feel a bit silly!

Col G is populated by a formula (if and AND) and is based on other celles along that row - namely if a "N" appears anywhere along that row, Col G will then show a "N". It is acting as a kind of Master for that row. I don't get the message when the row criteria means Col G is a "N".

When I overtype the formula and type in "N" into Col G, I get the message "N entered" However nothing copies to the row 35.

Within the new code, this row is now in green:

'Range(Cells(Target.Row, 2), Cells(Target.Row, 3)).Copy Cells(44, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)

Please don't bust a gut trying to fix this tonight - I need my sleep now as I am working tomorrow - just whenever you get chance.

Thank you so much again!

That explains it. The macro I made was waiting for N to be entered when the cell was selected. So it looks like that will be no use here.

FYI - The line is green because I changed it to a comment, removing the ' will make it code again.

I'm sure someone will help out here.
