Hi,

I have written a relatively simple IF code to reset my dropdown lists in the top row of my data if the depentent cell value changes.

I want to repeat this code for a range (columns C to L) of rows in the worksheet (2000 or so). I am hoping this is relatively simple? Could anyone help please?

Code below:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Address = "$C$4" Then
Range("D4:L4").Value = "Select..."
End If
If Target.Address = "$D$4" Then
Range("E4:L4").Value = "Select..."
End If
If Target.Address = "$E$4" Then
Range("F4:L4").Value = "Select..."
End If
If Target.Address = "$F$4" Then
Range("G4:L4").Value = "Select..."
End If
If Target.Address = "$G$4" Then
Range("H4:L4").Value = "Select..."
End If
If Target.Address = "$H$4" Then
Range("I4:L4").Value = "Select..."
End If
If Target.Address = "$I$4" Then
Range("J4:L4").Value = "Select..."
End If
If Target.Address = "$J$4" Then
Range("L4").Value = "Select..."
End If

End Sub

Screenshot below of cells I want the code to repeat on based on the same logic in row 4. (Columns C to L are the range)

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
@greggmorgangolf Welcome.
If I am understanding correctly then maybe like below?

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Col As Integer
Dim Rw As Integer
If Intersect(Target, Range("C4:K2500")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

Rw = Target.Row
Col = Target.Column

Range(Cells(Rw, Col), Cells(Rw, 12)) = "Select..."

End Sub

Apologies above is obviously no good as it overwrites the Target cell.
See if this helps.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Col As Integer
Dim Rw As Integer
If Intersect(Target, Range("C4:K2500")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

Rw = Target.Row
Col = Target.Column + 1

Application.EnableEvents = False
If Col <= 11 Then Range(Cells(Rw, Col), Cells(Rw, 12)) = "Select..."
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

You sir are a gentleman & a scholar. This has worked perfectly. Thank you very much. 🙏
Now I need to read through it properly to understand the logic. :ROFLMAO:(y)

Great to hear! You are most welcome.
Below may help you understand code.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Col As Integer
Dim Rw As Integer
'If the Target cell is not in myrange of interest then ignore
If Intersect(Target, Range("C4:K2500")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
'If more than1 cell is changed eg via a copy paste then ignore
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
'get the target row
Rw = Target.Row
' get the column number for the column right of target
Col = Target.Column + 1
'disable event handling so that changes made by this event code do bot cause
'it to call itself and create a infinite loop
'Probably unnecessary when thebelow changes more than1 cell!?
Application.EnableEvents = False
'if target column is C : K then fill to right as far as L
'therefore, gnore if target col is L
If Col <= 11 Then Range(Cells(Rw, Col), Cells(Rw, 12)) = "Select..."
'Reestablish event handling
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Solution
That was extremely helpful. Thank you.

I have added an iferror(vlookup for columns H, J, and L to automate the tracker data entry where possible.

I am wondering if there is a way of removing the data if a dependent cell to the left is changed in the same way without removing/overwriting my iferror(vlookup formula in cells H, J and L which will be hidden from users when the sheet is protected?

Visual of senario below.

Again if I understand correctly then maybe as below.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Integer
Dim Col As Integer
Dim Rw As Integer
'If the Target cell is not in myrange of interest then ignore
If Intersect(Target, Range("C4:K2500")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
'If more than1 cell is changed eg via a copy paste then ignore
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
'get the target row
Rw = Target.Row
' get the column number for the column right of target
Col = Target.Column + 1
'disable event handling so that changes made by this event code do bot cause
'it to call itself and create a infinite loop
'Probably unnecessary when thebelow changes more than1 cell!?
Application.EnableEvents = False
'if target column is C : K then fill to right as far as L
'cols H J L are hidden with formula so ignore

For c = Col To 11
    Select Case c
        Case 8, 10   'cols H J
        'do nothing
        Case Else  'Otherwise
         Cells(Rw, c) = "Select..."
    End Select
Next c

'Re-establish event handling
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

         Cells(Rw, c) = "Select..."
    End Select
Next c

'Re-establish event handling
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
This has worked perfectly. Thank you very much.
And I very much appreciate the time taken to describe the code actions. This is excellent for helping me to understand the coding methods.
Have a great evening and tanks again.
