Hi

The code below runs when any cell in column H row 12 downwards is double-clicked
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

    ' check Target is in column H
    If Target.Column = 8 And Target.Row >= 12 Then
        Cancel = True
        TopCell = Cells(12, 3).Address 'Row 12, Column 3 i.e. mileage
        BottomCell = Cells(Target.Row, 3).Address

        TotalCalc = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(Range(TopCell, BottomCell))

        MsgBox "Total miles run to " & Format(Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 1), "dd mmmm yyyy: ") & _
                     Format((CLng(10720.31 + TotalCalc)), "#,##0") & "   ", vbOKOnly, "Lifetime Mileage"
    End If

I'm looking for an additional row of code so the above code does not run if Column B in the same row contains the word 'OTHER' (without the commas).

Many thanks!

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Try

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

    ' check Target is in column H
    
If Cells(Target.Row, "B").Value = "OTHER" Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column = 8 And Target.Row >= 12 Then
        Cancel = True
        TopCell = Cells(12, 3).Address 'Row 12, Column 3 i.e. mileage
        BottomCell = Cells(Target.Row, 3).Address

        TotalCalc = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(Range(TopCell, BottomCell))

        MsgBox "Total miles run to " & Format(Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 1), "dd mmmm yyyy: ") & _
                     Format((CLng(10720.31 + TotalCalc)), "#,##0") & "   ", vbOKOnly, "Lifetime Mileage"
    End If
End Sub

Many thanks Michael, that works perfectly!

Could I just ask you how the code would need to look if I wanted to also exclude the word 'REST' please?

Thanks again!

Sure! So the above code does not run if Column B in the same row contains either the word 'OTHER' or 'REST'.

Thanks again.

VBA Code:
If Cells(Target.Row, "B").Value = "OTHER" OR Cells(Target.Row, "B").Value = "REST" Then Exit Sub
