Hi,

Please can some help me?

I have the following code that works fine until I try it towards the end of the range.

Code:
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D23:BM23")) Is Nothing Then   
 If Target.Value = "Y" Then
    Target.Offset(, 1) = "C"
    Target.Offset(, 1).AutoFill Range(Target.Offset(, 1), "BM" & Target.Row)
End If
End If

So basically it is for a monthly check to be carried out at work. Once the check has been done that cell is entered with a Y and the rest of the range automatically enter a C and then it doesn't need to be touched again until the next month.

But if the check hasn't been done before column BL which is the day shift on the last day of the month, it comes up with the error in the title.

When I end the error message the code has done what it should of done, so does anyone know why the error message is popping up?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Ok can you paste the entire code you are using back here and ill take a look.

You need to do the entering of the Y as a worksheet change event. The trigger for your macro is just moving to the cell you are about to enter the Y into. It hasnt yet got a Y so nothing happens. Cut that bit of code out and put it into a worksheet change and it will work.
