Hi All,

I am searching for a way to retrieve in Excel VBA 2 points when user had input new data in a worksheet:
1. how to retreive what user had input ?
2. how to retreive where (address or range) user did this input?

Currently I use activecell but it's not right because when you valid your input, you can use arrows, return key or even click on other cell. So it works only if I have validation with drop list on cell modified.


Any help will be appreciate.


Thanks in advance!

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Is there a certain range that this input would happen on? What do you want to do with this information, write it to another sheet or what?

Hi Scott, the most important thing is to retreive on which cell address this input was done. Depending this cell address, I will do different things in macro on some other place.
My actual macro works on all cases (paste a range of data <= I can retreive the active selection of cells, using arrows and return key because I check cells around <= cell up,down,right,left) except one case, if user input something on cell then click on a cell far away from the input. So I think the only way I have is to get a VBA function that detect last input information. I hope I am more clear :-)

If you put this Macro in the ThisWorkbook Section in the VBA editor, it will tell you what cells have changed and what sheet it happened on. If you need it more fine-tuned than that you need to supply some more specific details.

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
MsgBox "Sheet Name: " & Sh.Name
For Each c In Target
    MsgBox "Cell " & c.Address & " changed"
Next
End Sub
