I have a table (Range B11 - L250). I would like to change this code to do the following...

1. If I select a cell outside B11 - L250, i would like the textbox to display "New Expense"

2. If i select any cell inside B11 - L250 that has data, I would like the textbox to display "Edit Expense".

3. If i select any cell inside B11 - L250 that does NOT have data, I would like the textbox to display "Edit Expense".

Could someone help, please.

Thank you for your help.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r As Range
Set r = Application.Intersect(Target, Range("B11:B250"))
If r Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If r.Cells.Count <> 1 Then Exit Sub

With ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Shapes("Register")
If r.Value2 = Empty Then
.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "New Expense"
.TextFrame.Characters(1, 11).Font.Color = 16777215 'white
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'blue
Else
.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Edit Expense"
.TextFrame.Characters(1, 12).Font.Color = 0 'Black
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'red
End If
End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
It looks like your criterias #2 and #3 are the same
2. If i select any cell inside B11 - L250 that has data, I would like the textbox to display "Edit Expense".

3. If i select any cell inside B11 - L250 that does NOT have data, I would like the textbox to display "Edit Expense".

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub   [COLOR="Green"]' Ignore multi-cell selection[/COLOR]
    
    With ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Shapes("Register")
    
        If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B11:L250")) Is Nothing Then
            [COLOR="Green"]' Within range B11:L250[/COLOR]
            If IsEmpty(Target) Then
                [COLOR="Green"]' Within range and empty[/COLOR]
                .TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Edit Expense"
                .TextFrame.Characters(1, 12).Font.Color = 0 'Black
                .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'red
            Else
                [COLOR="Green"]' Within range and not empty[/COLOR]
                .TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Edit Expense"
                .TextFrame.Characters(1, 12).Font.Color = 0 'Black
                .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'red
            End If

        Else
            [COLOR="Green"]' Outside range B11:L250[/COLOR]
            .TextFrame.Characters.Text = "New Expense"
            .TextFrame.Characters(1, 11).Font.Color = 16777215 'white
            .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'blue
        End If
        
    End With
    
End Sub

Actually they are not the same.

2. if cell C25 has data, I would like the textbox to display "Edit Expense"

3. If select cell D26, I would like the textbox to display "New Expense"


item 2 & 3 covers me when I'm within the table (B11 - L250)

I was able to understand your comments in your code and fix it to what I was trying to accomplish.. Thank you for helping me. I really appreciate it.(y)

Here's what I was trying to accomplish..

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    'If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub   ' Ignore multi-cell selection
    
    With ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Shapes("Register")
    
        If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B11:L250")) Is Nothing Then
            ' Within range B11:L250
            If IsEmpty(Target) Then
                ' Within range and empty
            .TextFrame.Characters.Text = "New Expense"
            .TextFrame.Characters(1, 11).Font.Color = 16777215 'white
            .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'blue
            Else
                ' Within range and not empty
                .TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Edit Expense"
                .TextFrame.Characters(1, 12).Font.Color = 0 'Black
                .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'red
            End If

        Else
            ' Outside range B11:L250
            .TextFrame.Characters.Text = "New Expense"
            .TextFrame.Characters(1, 11).Font.Color = 16777215 'white
            .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'blue
        End If
        
    End With
    
End Sub
