OK a bit of a strange request

I need to replace the contents in a cell

example
type in ''123'' into cell A1. and replace this with the word ''passed'' when another cell is selected.

''123'' kinda acts as a password
in practice i will use more complex passwords and have a list of passwords that have different words associated
eg
123 = Passed
321 = Failed
456 = Redo Test
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
You can only do that with coding. Which cell/ range of cells are the ones you want to change?

Hi. Try this in the sheet module:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Rng as Range, c as Range

Set Rng = Intersect(Target, Range("F1:F99"))

If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
    For Each c In Rng
        Select Case c.Value
            Case 123
                c.Value = "Passed"
            Case 321
                c.Value = "Failed"
            Case 456
                c.Value = "Redo Test"
        End Select
    Next
End If
    
End Sub
