Hi there

I would like to generate a pop-up message "Warning! Please check value!" if any of the following cells A4, D5, G7 contain any character.

Thank you in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Haven't tested but try this:

If range("A4").value <>"" or range("D5").value <>"" or range("G7").value <>"" then
MsgBox("Warning! Please check value!")
End if

One way or another this is what you appear to be seeking.

GO TO VBA EDITOR

SELECT THE DESIRED SHEET & PASTE THE FOLLOWING CODE

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Range("A4,D5,G7").Value <> "" Then MsgBox ("Warning! Please check value!")


End Sub

Is it possible for the warning to appear only once after text is input in any of these 3 cells.
Once I click "OK" and proceed to input a value in any other cell on the worksheet, the warning still pops up on screen. I woud like the warning to only appear once.

Hi I tried this code and it seems to be doing what I want.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("A4,D5,G7")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value <> "" Then MsgBox "Please check value!", vbExclamation
End Sub


However, if the user deletes a value from any of the target cells, I get a runtime error (as per below)

Error 13: Type mismatch highlighting the following line
If Target.Value <> "" Then
