VBA- Changing cell contents based on another cell in the same row

Hi, I'm very new to VBA and have been learning through books and google for the last week. I've run into a problem with one of my projects, I'm hoping someone can help.

I'm trying to create a code that will look at the value (which will be "A","S", or "R") in a cell in the O column, and change the value in the corresponding B column to what is in the corresponding BD column.

For example, if O10 is A, nothing happens. If O10 is R or S, then B10 will show what is in BD10.

The data is only in Rows 10 - 77, the rest of the sheet has other information so that it can be printed and sent to our customer, so I really need the code to only run on Rows 10-77.

This is what I have, it keeps throwing a Type Mismatch error.

Code:
Private Sub ChangeToREJ()

Dim i As Integer


For i = 10 To 77


      If Range("O" & i).Text = "R" Or "S" Then
            Range("B" & 10).Text = Range("BD" & i).Text
      End If
Next i


End Sub

Thanks in advance for any help!
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try this

Sub ChangeToREJ()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 10 To 77

If Range("o" & i) = "R" Or Range("o" & i) = "S" Then
Range("B" & i) = Range("BD" & i)
End If
Next i
End Sub

I'm no longer getting an error, but it also isn't changing the cell contents... Any suggestions to help with that?

Thanks for your help!

SOLVED! I realized that it worked if I ran it as a macro, but not automatically. I added it to my Worksheet Change Event code. The code now looks like this, and works perfectly. Thank you for your help.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

'Does the changed range intersect the specified range?
    If Intersect(Target, Range("K10:L77")) Is Nothing Then
    
            'If there is no intersection, skip to next section
            GoTo changeREJ
            
'If there is an intersection, save the workbook
    Else
            ActiveWorkbook.Save
            
'Close If statement
    End If
   
'***Code to change part number to REJ***
'Does the change intersect the Reject cells?
changeREJ: If Intersect(Target, Range("O10:O77")) Is Nothing Then
                  
                  'Exit sub if no intersection
                  Exit Sub
            'If intersection, cycle through all rows and change part number to REJ if rejected or scrapped
            Else
                  Dim i As Integer
                  For i = 10 To 77 '10 to 77 are rows with data entered by operators


                        If Range("o" & i) = "R" Or Range("o" & i) = "S" Then
                        Range("B" & i) = Range("BD" & i)
                        End If
                  Next i
            End If


End Sub
