Hello All - First time Poster here, name is Tim.

I've been working on building an Excel document, when based on user input into a certain cell, prompts them for information and places received information in a cell. I have all that working to my liking, however, I'm getting stuck on a Run Tim Error 13 Type mismatch when I clear the multiple cell contents.

Again, my code works for all things input... however, when I highlight multiple cells and clear their contents, I receive the Run Time Error.

My Code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim RequiredE As String
Dim RequiredH As String <-- Ignore this for this post, I have the same block of code below running against additional columns
Dim RequiredK As String <-- <-- Ignore this for this post, I have the same block of code below running against additional columns

If Target.Column = Columns("D").Column Then

Do
If Target.Value = "Yes" Then <-- Run Time Error debugger points me here
RequiredE = InputBox("Please enter IT User's name, who's responsible for sign off to PLIT Release Coordinator and click OK", "IT user name required!", Range("E" & Target.Row).Text)
Else
RequiredE = "Not Applicable"
End If

Range("E" & Target.Row) = RequiredE

Loop Until RequiredE <> ""

End If
 

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.
If you select and change multiple cells, Target.Column (for instance) will throw an error as the .Column will not work on an area with multiple cells.

You need to test if the Target has multiple cells or not.

If Target.Columns.Count > 1 Then ...

Thank you Wigi for your reply and suggestion, I put that in my code and as much as I don't get the Run Time Error 13 anymore, none of my other logic is working... Which I definitely need to it to work.

I think this may show the flow better:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim RequiredE As String
Dim RequiredH As String <-- This can be ignored, it's for another block of code
Dim RequiredK As String <-- This can be ignored, it's for another block of code

     If Target.Column = Columns("D").Column Then
         
         Do
             If Target.Value = "Yes" Then <-- When I get the run time error after highlighting multiple cells and clearing their content, this is where debug takes me
                 RequiredE = InputBox("Please enter IT User's name, who's responsible for sign off to PLIT Release Coordinator and click OK", "IT user name required!", Range("E" & Target.Row).Text)
             Else
                 RequiredE = "Not Applicable"
             End If
     
             Range("E" & Target.Row) = RequiredE
    
         Loop Until RequiredE <> ""
        
     End If
