I am trying to have data I enter in Col B (300 lines) auto sort Hig to low and can't seem to get it to work. Any Ideas?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B1:B300")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Me.Sort.SortFields.Clear
Me.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B1:B300"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDecending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With Me.Sort
.SetRange Range("B1:B300")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Welcome to the board.

Try putting Option Explicit at the top of the module and give it a try.

This works for ascending 1,2,3,4,5,6. I can't seem to get it to work for decending 6,5,4,3,2,1

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B1:B300")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Me.Sort.SortFields.Clear
Me.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B1:B300"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With Me.Sort
.SetRange Range("B1:E300")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Also col A has Drug name and col B has cost. When I sort on B I need the associated drug name in A sort with it. This is beyond me.

Instead of

Me.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B1:B300"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDecending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal

Try

Me.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B1:B300"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal

As shg suggested, using Option Explicit makes the things easier

Thanks it worked. I need to brush up on my spelling. I did not have to use Option Explicit

Also col A has Drug name and col B has cost. When I sort on B descending I need the associated drug name in A sort with it. For example A1= Aspirin B1=$2.00, A2= Vitamin C B2=$4.00, A3= Tylenol B3=$3.00 should return

A1= Vitamin C B1=$4.00, A2= Tylenol B2=$3.00, A3= Aspirin B3=$2.00

Did you try my suggestion?

I tried but continued to miss the spelling error. Thanks for your help

<TABLE class=tborder style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px" cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=6 width="100%" align=center border=0><TBODY><TR title="Post 3130979" vAlign=top><TD class=alt1>Also col A has Drug name and col B has cost. When I sort on B descending I need the associated drug name in A sort with it. For example A1= Aspirin B1=$2.00, A2= Vitamin C B2=$4.00, A3= Tylenol B3=$3.00 should return

A1= Vitamin C B1=$4.00, A2= Tylenol B2=$3.00, A3= Aspirin B3=$2.00 </TD></TR><TR><TD class=thead colSpan=2>Today 07:00 AM</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
