    Change cell value based on active cell

    I have 2 columns G and I n which on each row a list exist to choose a value.
    I would like that when I choose No in my list box of column G that I is changed into value 6.
    And of course this would happen on each row where I change the value of column I.
    I'm completely lost in the dark of macro writing unfortunately.
    any help is welcome.

    What you need is a bit of VBA code that is automatically triggered as soon as you make a change to the specific worksheet. Excel supports this via events which can be monitored at workbook or specific worksheet level. You will need to copy & paste the code provided below into the module that is associated to the worksheet you are working with

    Thanks for the reply.
    Just a question, why is target.column a number value and in target row a letter value?
    My first thought would be the opposite no?

    The letter you refer to is a parameter of the Cells object and not the Target object. The instruction means a cell on the same row as the target cell in column I
