Hi


I’m trying to add more to this change event macro
The first part works perfectly. What every text is entered in a cell in column 4 is changed to proper case.
I’m trying to get column 1 and column 2 to change the format when a date is entered.
Column 1 and column will only have dates in them
What I get now is “FALSE”
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 4 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = Application.Proper(Target.Value).
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = Selection.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
If Target.Column = 2 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = Selection.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
VBA Code:
Target.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"

although you could combine the bottom 2 into 1 section:
VBA Code:
If Target.Column = 1 or Target.Column = 2 Then
