Hello ?

I have a VBA code which allows for multiple selections from a drop down list:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Oldvalue As String
Dim Newvalue As String
Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error GoTo Exitsub
If Target.Address = "$I$3" Then
If Target.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation) Is Nothing Then
GoTo Exitsub
Else: If Target.Value = "" Then GoTo Exitsub Else
Application.EnableEvents = False
Newvalue = Target.Value
Application.Undo
Oldvalue = Target.Value
If Oldvalue = "" Then
Target.Value = Newvalue
Else
If InStr(1, Oldvalue, Newvalue) = 0 Then
Target.Value = Oldvalue & ", " & Newvalue
Else:
Target.Value = Oldvalue
End If
End If
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exitsub:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


The code works just fine but my only problem is that it only runs on one cell (Cell I3).

What should I change in Target.Address = "$I$3" to make it run over the entire table column (from I3 to I1639)?

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
replace this row:
VBA Code:
If Target.Address = "$I$3" Then
with these two:
VBA Code:
    Const rngA = "I3:I1639"
    If Not Intersect(Target, Target.Parent.Range(rngA)) Is Nothing Then

Solution
Try replacing this:
VBA Code:
If Target.Address = "$I$3" Then

with this:
VBA Code:
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Then GoTo Exitsub
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("I1:I1639")) Is Nothing Then

Thanks, works perfectly!
