Hi
Hope to have some advice on this problem. In worksheet "Work" I have a table named "tbl_work" which contains named columns "colA", "colB", "colC".... I want something to happen only when changes occur in "colB".

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error GoTo Exitsub

Set tbl = Worksheets("Work").ListObjects("tbl_work")
If Target.Address = tbl.ListColumns("colB").Address Then
"something to happen"
End if
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exitsub:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

It has however no effect.
Thanks

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
VBA Code:
Set cc = intersect(target, tbl.ListColumns("colB").range)
If not cc is nothing Then
... Something happens ...

Hi bobsan42, Fluff, and Peter_SSs
Thank you for your reply. I tried and found only Peter'_SSs code works in my case though bobsan42 and FLuff's codes totally make sense to me.
Thank you all.
