Auto fill cells when specific word is added to main cell

[Ronni f]

Hi, New to this forum so apologies if Q already answered.
I have a spreadsheet that has a column where only 2 status will ever be added. I want the corresponding cells in the row to be auto filled to firstly remove a word and then add a date - see notes in red.

Try using this "Change" event macro:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim ckArea As String, myC As Range
'
ckArea = "K2:K100"                  '<<< The range you wish to monitor for changes
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range(ckArea)) Is Nothing Then
    If UCase(Target.Value) = "INSPECTED" Then
        Target.Offset(0, 1).ClearContents
        Target.Offset(0, 2).Value = Date
    End If
End If
End Sub

Rightclick the tab with the name of the worksheet, chose View code; this will open your vba window at the right position. Copy the code and paste it into the empty frame on the rigth of the vba window (if the frame already contains any macro then publish its code to check for compatibility). Customize the line marked <<<

Then return to excel and check how it works.

Bye
