As you know, the worksheet change event is fired either by entering data with the keyboard or by pasting from clipboard .

The goal is to figure out how the change event was triggered .

I am ignoring for now "Fill Down" and "drag&Drop" operations which also fire the change event.

I have tried sharing a module level variable between the worksheet change and selectionchange events but it didn't work.

Regards.

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
