Morning all,

I was kindly advised a code for a worksheet i am using but i would also like to use the same code on another worksheet.
My issue is that i get the Ambiguous named detected message because i already have a code using the same name.
This would be Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Can you advise how in a situation like this we get around it so it can be used.

On this page in question i have in use.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)


Many thanks.

Why do you need all three of these in the same sheet.

I can see why these two may conflict with each other:

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
 Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Tell me what your trying to do.

Hi,
The below codes works fine no problem, ive been using it for a while now.

Code: 
Private Sub NewRowButton_Click()With Sheets("HONDA SHEET")
    .Range("A17").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
    .Range("A17:G18").Borders.Weight = xlThin
    .Range("G17").Value = Date
    .Range("A13").Interior.ColorIndex = 2
     Range("C1:F12").Select
    With Selection.Interior
        .Pattern = xlSolid
        .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent5
        .TintAndShade = 0.599993896298105
        .PatternTintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Range("A17").Select
    End With
End Sub

End Sub

But now i would like to add this to the page.

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)



If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B13")) Is Nothing Then




If UCase(Target.Value) = "A" Then Target.Value = "2010"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "B" Then Target.Value = "2011"

Thanks very much i see what you have done and works great.

Can i ask for a piece of extra code to add to it.

Currently the code is set up for A-K so if i were to enter any other letter into the cell & hit enter i would like a msg box shown saying not found & the B13 cell to remain empty where currently it shows the letter which isnt supported.

Many thanks for this.
Currently i have this non working attempt
Code: 
'New partIf Not Intersect(Target, Range("B13")) Is Nothing Then
If UCase(Target.Value) = "A" Then Target.Value = "2010"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "B" Then Target.Value = "2011"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "C" Then Target.Value = "2012"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "D" Then Target.Value = "2013"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "E" Then Target.Value = "2014"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "F" Then Target.Value = "2015"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "G" Then Target.Value = "2016"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "H" Then Target.Value = "2017"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "I" Then Target.Value = "2018"
If UCase(Target.Value) = "J" Then Target.Value = "2019"
Else
MsgBox ("NOT FOUND")
End If
'End new part

Try this:

Code:

Dim x As Long
x = 0
Application.EnableEvents = False
If UCase(Target.Value) = "A" Then Target.Value = "2010": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "B" Then Target.Value = "2011": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "D" Then Target.Value = "2012": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "E" Then Target.Value = "2013": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "F" Then Target.Value = "2014": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "G" Then Target.Value = "2015": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "H" Then Target.Value = "2016": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "I" Then Target.Value = "2017": x = 1
If UCase(Target.Value) = "J" Then Target.Value = "2018": x = 1

If x < 1 Then MsgBox Target.Value & "  Not Found": Target.Value = ""
End If

Hi,
It works fine but one thing that happens is when i close the worksheet i then get the msg box pop up.

If it helps i added the following into ALT + F11 This workbook to clear the cell as opposed to leaving a letter in it.

Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)With Sheets("HONDA SHEET").Range("B13").ClearContents
End With
End Sub

If it works for you that's great. You never mentioned wanting to clear contents. Only if value did not equal those mentioned in the script.

This should prevent the msgbox from appearing
Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Sheets("HONDA SHEET").Range("B13").ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
