Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
OK, try
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   Dim Rw As Range
   
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H:H")) Is Nothing Then
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      For Each Rw In Target.Rows
         Cells(Rw.Row, "Q").Value = Environ("Username")
         Cells(Rw.Row, "R").Value = Now
         Cells(Rw.Row, "R").NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm"
      Next Rw
   ElseIf Target.Address(0, 0) = "AA5" Then
      If LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel all" Then
         Range("S5:V5").Clear
      ElseIf LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel 1" Then
         With Range("S5:V5")
            .Value = Evaluate("if(" & .Address & "<>""""," & .Address & "-1,"""")")
         End With
      End If
   End If
   Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Thank you for the help. What does the evaluate and address line do please? I tried the s5:v5 before but didn't work but i see you added a new line. Thank you again :)

Glad to help & thanks for the feedback.

That line simply checks if the cells in the range have a value & if so subtract 1 from them, otherwise returns ""

hi good morning, sorry just one more question, I have tried duplicating the code to add another cell (the one below) please see below what I have done, but I am getting an error, please can you advise what I have done wrong? thank you, I did say no more questions from me thinking I would be okay :)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   Dim Rw As Range
   
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H:H")) Is Nothing Then
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      For Each Rw In Target.Rows
         Cells(Rw.Row, "Q").Value = Environ("Username")
         Cells(Rw.Row, "R").Value = Now
         Cells(Rw.Row, "R").NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm"
      Next Rw
   ElseIf Target.Address(0, 0) = "AA5" Then
      If LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel all" Then
         Range("S5:V5").Clear
      ElseIf LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel 1" Then
         With Range("S5:V5")
            .Value = Evaluate("if(" & .Address & "<>""""," & .Address & "-1,"""")")
            Next Rw
             ElseIf Target.Address(0, 0) = "AA6" Then
      If LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel all" Then
         Range("S6:V6").Clear
      ElseIf LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel 1" Then
         With Range("S6:V6")
            .Value = Evaluate("if(" & .Address & "<>""""," & .Address & "-1,"""")")
         End With
      End If
   End If
   Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

HI is is the new bit I added trying to copy what was for the previous cells but just changing the number to the next cell below ie AA6 and S6:V6 thought it would be simple to add the new lines but getting the error :(
Code:
            Next Rw
             ElseIf Target.Address(0, 0) = "AA6" Then
      If LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel all" Then
         Range("S6:V6").Clear
      ElseIf LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel 1" Then
         With Range("S6:V6")
            .Value = Evaluate("if(" & .Address & "<>""""," & .Address & "-1,"""")")

hello, hope you can help :), you have been great with all the advice already, I did think this would be easy to do and just paste previous code with the section and paste underneath and just change the cells range for example aa5 t aa6 and s5:v5 to s6:v6, do I need to break it up somehow?

Try
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   Dim Rw As Range
   
   Application.EnableEvents = False
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H:H")) Is Nothing Then
      For Each Rw In Target.Rows
         Cells(Rw.Row, "Q").Value = Environ("Username")
         Cells(Rw.Row, "R").Value = Now
         Cells(Rw.Row, "R").NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm"
      Next Rw
   ElseIf Not Intersect(Target, Range("AA5:AA6")) Is Nothing Then
      If LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel all" Then
         Range("S" & Target.Row).Resize(, 4).Clear
      ElseIf LCase(Target.Value) = "cancel 1" Then
         With Range("S" & Target.Row).Resize(, 4)
            .Value = Evaluate("if(" & .Address & "<>""""," & .Address & "-1,"""")")
         End With
      End If
   End If
   Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
