How do I get this code to run only when certain text is entered in cells?

Hi

The below code runs in a worksheet_change event but I specifically only want it to run when the word "OTHER" is entered in Column B of the first filled row (same row as the one in the code) AND Column J of the same row begins with the text "Indoor bike session".
VBA Code: 
Dim NextRow As Long
Application.EnableEvents = False
  If ActiveSheet.Name = "Training Log" Then
    NextRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Range("A" & NextRow).Resize(, 6).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Resize(, 2).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Value = "Indoor bike session, 60 mins."
    Range("A" & NextRow).Select
  Else
    MsgBox "Cell fill does not work in this sheet", vbInformation, "Information"
  End If

lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If target.Address(0, 0) = Range("B" & lr).Address(0, 0) Then
    Range("F" & lr).Select
    MsgBox "Enter heart rate", vbInformation, "Indoor Bike Session Data"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

Hope you can help?

Many thanks!

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Sort by date Sort by votes
So if it is a worksheet change event, i'm guessing it will be in the "Training Log" sheet ??
If so, then this line is redundant for starters
VBA Code: 
 If ActiveSheet.Name = "Training Log" Then
AND this wouldn't be required
VBA Code: 
 MsgBox "Cell fill does not work in this sheet", vbInformation, "Information"

Thanks Michael!

Yes, that's correct.

This is what I have now and it runs, but every time data is entered in Col A.
VBA Code: 
Dim NextRow As Long
    NextRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Range("A" & NextRow).Resize(, 6).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Resize(, 2).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Value = "Indoor bike session, 60 mins."
    Range("A" & NextRow).Select

Application.EnableEvents = False
lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If target.Address(0, 0) = Range("B" & lr).Address(0, 0) Then
    Range("F" & lr).Select
    MsgBox "Enter heart rate", vbInformation, "Indoor Bike Session Data"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

As I mentioned, I want this to run only when the word "OTHER" is entered in Column B of the first filled row (same row as the one in the code) AND Column J of the same row begins with the text "Indoor bike session".

Thanks again!

Ok..so after the next row line you will need an if statement fsaying if range B & nextrow = OTHER and InStr (range J& nextrow, "Indoor bike session").....you get the idea and i dont have excel atm

No worries Michael, whenever you're ready.

This is what I have, which I've run and it doesn't run as it should
VBA Code: 
Dim NextRow As Long
    NextRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Range("A" & NextRow).Resize(, 6).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Resize(, 2).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Value = "Indoor bike session, 60 mins."
    Range("A" & NextRow).Select

If Range("B" & NextRow) = OTHER And InStr(Range("I" & NextRow), "Indoor bike session") Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If target.Address(0, 0) = Range("B" & lr).Address(0, 0) Then
    Range("F" & lr).Select
    MsgBox "Enter heart rate", vbInformation, "Indoor Bike Session Data"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End If

For clarity, the above is my attempt to consolidate the 2 macros below in the order shown into Training Log worksheet_change event, and both of these run perfectly separately:

Macro 1 (workbook module):
VBA Code: 
Sub FillEndRowBlue()
Dim NextRow As Long
  If ActiveSheet.Name = "Training Log" Then
    NextRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
    Range("A" & NextRow).Resize(, 6).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Resize(, 2).Interior.Color = RGB(197, 217, 241)
    Range("I" & NextRow).Value = "Indoor bike session, 60 mins."
    Range("A" & NextRow).Select
  Else
    MsgBox "Cell fill does not work in this sheet", vbInformation, "Information"
  End If
End Sub
Macro 2 (in Training Log worksheet_change event):
VBA Code: 
Application.EnableEvents = False
lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If target.Address(0, 0) = Range("B" & lr).Address(0, 0) Then
    Range("F" & lr).Select
    MsgBox "Enter heart rate", vbInformation, "Indoor Bike Session Data"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

When you keep saying the first filled row do you really mean the last row ie: the bottom row of data ?

When you are calculating that row number, the change event being triggered from column B, are you sure that column A isn't blank ?

What is the purpose of, or reason for, calculating the row number and not just using target.row ?

Hi, thanks for replying

1. Sorry, yes, the bottom row of data

2. Column A is blank until I input a date. I then input text in Col B and ONLY when it's OTHER *AND* Col I begins with the text string then the rest of the code should run.

3. I'm afraid I can't answer that as I was given the code. I can only guess it's to ensure the correct row is filled? Whatever amendments are needed to make the above run correctly are fine by me.

Can you right click on your "Training Log" sheet tab, click view code and when the sheet module comes up
Ctrl+A to select it all, Ctrl+C to copy it all and paste it between code tags in a reply.
Thanks.
