Hello there,

I currently have this code:

Set CheckC = Range("B2")
If Range("A2") = Value And Range("B2") = "" Then
MsgBox "You cannot transfer until required information has been completed." & _
vbCrLf & vbNewLine & "Check for cells with light blue markings (All cells highlighted in light blue must be completed.)"
CheckC.Select
If Range("A2") = Value And IsEmpty(CheckC) Then Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
End If

My goal is, if the user has data in column A, then the corresponding B column must be filled out. So, if A2 is filled out, then B2 must also be filled out and this is applied to the entire set of data. Any help is much appreciated! I'm not VBA-savvy so if the code above is not making sense (well, obviously it's not because it's not working), please forgive me...
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Hi JennV - Welcome to the forum. Maybe this will help get things started. Please explain what happens when you run your code. That may help us help you. Hope this helps.

Try this "Worksheet_Change" event :-
Paste entire code in Worksheet Module (Alt + F11")

Code:
Private [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range)
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Rng [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Dn [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range
[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Rng = Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Rng = IIf(Rng.Address(0, 0) = "A1:A2", Range("A2"), Rng)
[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Rng
[COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Dn <> "" And Dn.Offset(, 1) = "" [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Not Target.Address = Dn.Address [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
        MsgBox "Please enter data in " & Dn.Offset(, 1).Address
        Application.EnableEvents = False
            Target = ""
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    [COLOR="Navy"]Exit[/COLOR] For
    [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] Dn
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]
