Hi There,
I have an Excel workbook and I would like to have some VBA code that when executed looks at the information input into tab Sheet2, Column E, Row 7, Cell E7:

Sheet2
ABCDEFGHIJKLMN
Header1Header2Header3Header4Header5Header6Header7Header8Header9Header10Header11Header12Header13Header14
data1INFO

Here marked as "INFO", and then based on what is entered, selects a named range called "Information1" in tab Sheet1 to copy and paste the range into an email and then loops to the next empty line and stops once completed.

Then, if the next line in Sheet2, Column E, Row 8, Cell E8 has on the next execution INFO3 input, the code selects the next named range in tab Sheet1 called "Information3"

Sheet1
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS
Information 1Information 1Information 1Information 1Information 1Information 2Information 2Information 2Information 2Information 2Information 3Information 3Information 3Information 3Information 3

This worked for me (in the worksheet code module) using the data you posted. If it doesn't work for you, upload your file to dropbox.com or box.com and post the link here.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
    If Target.Column <> 5 Then Exit Sub
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim rng As Range, lRow As Long, srcWS As Worksheet, addrWS As Worksheet, OutApp As Object, OutMail As Object
    Set srcWS = Sheets("Sheet3")
    Set addrWS = Sheets("Sheet2")
    lRow = srcWS.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Select Case Target.Value
        Case "LUX"
            Set rng = srcWS.Range("A5:E" & lRow)
            Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
            With OutMail
                .To = Join(Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(addrWS.Range("A2", addrWS.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), ";")
                .cc = Join(Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(addrWS.Range("B2", addrWS.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), ";")
                .Subject = ""
                .HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
                .Display
            End With
        Case "LON"
            Set rng = srcWS.Range("H5:L" & lRow)
            Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
            With OutMail
                .To = Join(Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(addrWS.Range("F2", addrWS.Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), ";")
                .cc = Join(Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(addrWS.Range("G2", addrWS.Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), ";")
                .Subject = ""
                .HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
                .Display
            End With
        Case "DUB"
            Set rng = srcWS.Range("O5:S" & lRow)
            Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
            With OutMail
                .To = Join(Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(addrWS.Range("K2", addrWS.Range("K" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), ";")
                .cc = Join(Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(addrWS.Range("L2", addrWS.Range("L" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), ";")
                .Subject = ""
                .HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
                .Display
            End With
    End Select
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Thank you Mumps - I still can't get the code to work. I have tried to access dropbox and box but from my work they are blocked. I will try to upload on my pc at home.
Will the code work if I put it in the normal module instead of a worksheet module?

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
This is a change event code which means that it is triggered by a change in the worksheet so it must go into the code module for that worksheet.

Hi Mumps - I finally got it working! I pasted the code into the wrong tab. Thank you for help on that. I've certainly learnt something new with Change Event Code.
The code creates the email exactly how I wanted it - How can I reference the
.Subject = ""

...with actual text based on an input on Sheet2, column C, cell C2
e.g.
Column A Column B Column C
SS LUX Email ListEmail CC:Subject Heading
EmailEmail??

Thanks Mumps - I tried that earlier and the code breaks, even though if I hover over the code, I can see what the subject written in to the code line is:

1717089495274.png


...and the email is not generated.

Can you post a dozen or so rows of data that is more representative of your actual data including the "Subject" data in column C?

Hi Mumps,

So on Sheet2 :

Sheet2
Column AColumn BColumn CColumn DColumn EColumn FColumn GColumn HColumn IColumn JColumn KColumn LColumn MColumn N
SS LUX Email ListEmail CC:Subject HeadingFile AttachmentSS LON Email ListEmail CC:Subject HeadingFile AttachmentSS LON Email ListEmail CC:Subject HeadingFile Attachment
EmailEmail??EmailEmail??EmailEmail??

I'm thinking of either having an input in Column C, H or M depending on what the input on Sheet1 is which was the Case LUX, LON or DUB or an input on Sheet3 just above where the Range is set.
e.g.


Sheet3

For clarification: the subject will be in cell A1 of Sheet3 for "LUX". Will cells H1 and O1 contain the subject for "LON" AND "DUB" respectively?

Hi Mumps,
For clarification, yes the subject will be in cell A3 of Sheet3 for "LUX", H3 for "LON" and O3 for "DUB".

Also, after the email has been created have you some code that writes a timestamp into the cell next to where I have entered the "LUX", "LON" or "DUB" in Sheet1 ?

ABCDEFGHIJKLMN
Header1Header2Header3Header4Header5Header6Header7Header8Header9Header10Header11Header12Header13Header14
data1LUX or LON or DUBTimestamp here

Thank you.

Good Morning Mumps - Just wondered if you were able to work out the "Subject" and the "Timestamp" ?
Thank you
