Only one cell can contain value

[JanF]

Hi,


I have 4 cells and I want to restrict that only one of these cells can contain value using VBA.

I have B1, B2, B3, B4 and if there is a text in B1 and I write something in B3 automatically delete B1 and leave text in B3 and so on...


Thanks.

Insert the following Event Macro in the worksheet code area:

If you enter any value in the range B1 thru B4, the other cells in that range will be cleared.


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
If you are using a version of Excel later then 2003, you must save
the file as .xlsm rather than .xlsx

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

Macros must be enabled for this to work!
