I have a change event sub below and I want to trap changes made on columns A to B only.
How do I use Intersect on this sub?
many thanks

Code:
Dim rngLastChange As Range


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Set rngLastChange = Target
    If [E2] > [F2] Then       
        MsgBox "E2 is greater than F2", vbCritical
        Application.Undo
        Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
So if you change any value in column A or B
You want the script to see if cell in column E is greater then cell in column F On same row

Is that what you want?
And this change will be done manually?
Not as the result of a formula change.

Thank you for taking time to answer my query.
So if you change any value in column A or B

yes that's it. and I think I get it - tested it to be working - pls see below if it is the correct coding structure.
many many thanks

Dim rngLastChange As Range


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Set rngLastChange = Target
    [B]    If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A:B")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub[/B]
    If [E2] > [F2] Then   
        MsgBox "E2 is greater than F2", vbCritical
        Application.Undo
        Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub

Yes that will work.

So you only want to compare E2 and F2

Not:
E3 and F3
or E4 and F4

What is variable rngLastChange used for? If not used, no point leaving in. As alt suggestion try:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    If Target.Column > 3 Then Exit Sub
    
    If Cells(2, 5).Value > Cells(2, 6).Value Then
        MsgBox "WARNING E2 is greater than F2", vbCritical, "Invalid value in E2 or F2"
        Application.Undo
    End If
    
End Sub

That would create an infinite loop jack as the undo will keep triggering the procedure

Ah hence the Exit Sub after (or Application.EnableEvents = False/True wrap), thanks Steve :)
