Worksheet_Change Target Cell Contains a Formula

[jmdk11]

Hi!

I have been struggling with a code for a few hours now. I am using this code to automatically hide or unhide rows based on the value in cell I7. The formula in cell I7 is =IFERROR(INDEX(AB2:AQ16,MATCH(C11,AA2:AA16,1),MATCH(I11,AB1:AQ1,0)),""). If the value is 5, I want a specific 5 rows to be available and other hidden. I cannot get the rows to automatically hide/unhide when that value changes. I am wondering if it is because there is a formula in the cell. If anyone has any insight on how to fix this I would really appreciate it!

Here is what I have for the code:

Hello jmdk11,

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Hi

perhaps you should use the Worksheet_Calculate() event???

..the Worksheet_Change event isn't triggered when a formula is re-calculated - it is triggered when, for example, a User manually changes the contents of cell(s) e.g. by editing a cell, pasting into a cell, deleting contents in a cell etc etc etc

I thought about that too, but the main cell that would be changing is a different cell an AQL number is selected from a dropdown list, then the sample qty (I7) will automatically update. I need to reference I7 in the code, though, because that is the number that will determine how many rows are hidden. I am working on a sample workbook to attach. Thank you!

Hi

Then use the change event to detect when the dropdown-cell has been changed, and then, if the drop-down cell has changed, then let the vba routine fetch the value from cell [i7] and proceed accordingly etc etc etc

Perfect! I used the dropdown cell as the change even and used the following code and it worked (very similar to what you did). Thank you so much!
