Hello,

I am looking for VBA code which copies the old cell text value of cell A1 (the value of A1 is returned by a formula which references to other cells) to cell A2, every time cell A1 contains a new and updated value.
(The value of cell A2 should also remain unchanged whenever cell A1 is selected.) I have been looking online but cannot find the right script. Thanks
 
I found a script that logs cell values into a column C before refreshing. I want to remove all the refreshed duplicates in this column but the script below seems to get stuck in an infinite loop.
How could the "remove duplicate rows in column C" code be rewritten to prevent it from looping?

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Application.EnableEvents = False
Me.Range("C" & Me.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = Me.Range("A5").Value
Application.EnableEvents = True

Range("C1:D1").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1
End Sub

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
So, what will cause this to happen.

If the script runs when a formula causes a cell value to change how could it be possible for the script to record what was in the cell prior to the cell value changing.

If you have a formula like the one, you're showing here that will work maybe try that.

The worksheet B script runs and copies a cell value (generated by a formula and updated by a macro button) from worksheet A into a column C in worksheet B.
The thing is that the script copies the cell value every time the workbook is being refreshed, so there are a lot of duplicate value copies in column C.

Do you know what code I have to add to the Worksheet_Calculate sub, to regularly run and remove the duplicate values in column C? Without duplicate removals, the column would have hundreds of values in a single day already, and the workbook would get heavy.

My VBA knowledge is very basic.

This is beyond my knowledgebase.
I will continue to monitor this thread to see what I can learn.
