Hi all,

I am very new to coding in VBA and am trying to figure out how to make my code run automatically. I want to copy paste values from one cell to another, but nothing happens with my current code, any idea why?

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Hit F5 or hit play symbol (right under "Book1" in the image)
or assign into a button/shape in sheet

okay thank you.

But this is the macro solution no?

Is there a way to make it run automatically, so A1 is always = the value of B1?

So for example if I change the current value "Assessment" to "TestABC" in cell B1, cell A1 will automatically immediately update its value to this as well.

Put in in sheet1_change even, to trigger change in cell B1 (with manual input in cell B1, not via formula)
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address = "$B$1" Then Range("A1").Value = Range("B1").Value
End Sub
BTW, why not put formula in sheet, cell A1:
= B1
???
