Hello,
my situation:
Cell A1 has a value X (computed with other cells) , In cell C1 you can choose between value X or you can enter an own value.
However if value X changes to Y , this value must be "shown" in cell C1. and not X.
My solution:
I make a dropdownlist in cell C1 with A1 in it, i put the "error when value isn't on list" off (so you can put in your own value if needed), however if cell A1 changes into Y, cell C1 isn't updated automatic to Y (if i didn't put an own value).
I can select cell C1, the dropdownlist will state value Y. and then you can select value Y. However i want it automated to be userfriendly.
Maybe there are other and better solutions.
PS: my VisualBasic knowledge is near zero.
Thanks in advance,
Hello Jurado, welcome to the forum.
Can you post some examples of what you're talking about, some before/after demonstrations? I'm not following your word logic, probably best to just show us.

Hello,
Ok, thanks for answering. see Attachment . Hopefully everything is clear now.
Greatings,
Wow, interesting.
So, if the value in column D says "put in a value or choose the computed value in B?", then changes to column A should be ignored and that message should remain visible.
But if someone has previously selected the computed value in column B or entered one of their own (in other words it's a number in there instead of text) then you want column D to update to the value in Column B when it changes?
