Hello, good day. I need help to execute my VBA code. I'm practically new in using VBA.
Here's the code I copied from another forum here.
Basically, what I want to do is auto stamp the username, date and time stamp on column L once they choose either rejected or approved on the drop down menu.
At the same time, I want to lock column L as well.
Is there a way to do this? And where do I put my VBA code, on the sheet itself or create another module?
Yesterday it worked, but then when I tried to lock column L, it suddenly stopped working.
Not sure, what's the cause of it.
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

Here's a screenshot from my excel sheet,VBA, and the code I used.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

' Define object variables
Dim statusRange As Range
Dim changedCell As Range

' Define variables
Dim currentUserName As String
Dim userNameColumn As String
Dim statusColumnNumber As Integer
Dim statusValuesList As Variant

' <<< Customize this >>>
Set statusRange = Range("K4:K100") ' Limit the cells that will record the status
statusValuesList = Array("Approved", "Rejected") ' Add more status values separated by commas and inside quotes (this is not case-sensitive)
userNameColumn = "L" ' Column letter where the UserName is going to be stamped

' Prevent from firing other events while making changes to cells
Application.EnableEvents = False

' Validate if cell changed belongs to valid column and rows and if it has a valid status
If Not Intersect(Target, statusRange) Is Nothing Then

For Each changedCell In Target

If Not IsError(Application.Match(changedCell.Value, statusValuesList, 0)) Then

' Get current username
currentUserName = Environ("Username")

Else

' Empty username string
currentUserName = vbNullString

End If

' Assign username to cell in previously defined column and same row
Range(userNameColumn & changedCell.Row).Value = currentUserName

Next changedCell

End If

' Reenable firing events
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub
 
Hello, I followed the exact procedure but it didn't work. I also tried testing it on another worksheet but also didnt work. I couldn't figure out what seems to be the problem.
Show me all the code you have in your sheet

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
I did. I tried it but its still not working.. Im using Office 365. Yesterday it worked but now it stopped working.
You will see in the code you must enter "Approved" or Rejected for the script to run.
Change this if you want to "Alpha" Or "Bravo" whatever you want

Remove the code you already have in the sheet

Where you see in the code Select case
The words you put in there must be exactly the same as you enter into column K
Capitulation is important.

Try this:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  11/8/2022  2:22:18 AM  EST
If Target.Column = 11 Then

Select Case Target.Value
    Case "Approved", "Rejected"
        Target.Offset(, 1).Value = Application.UserName & "," & Now()
        
        Case Else
        MsgBox "You entered: " & Target.Value & vbNewLine & "That's not a proper value", , "Oops"
        
    End Select
End If
End Sub

So you tell me.
You said it worked yesterday but now does not work today.
I have no answer sorry

I assume you agree column K and Column 11 are the same.
I know in some other countries. This is not the same
Some countries the columns from what I understand go from Right to left
As in US columns go from Left to right

Tried this but also didnt work. :( What format should Column L be? Whenever I typed in Approved or Rejected, nothing appears on Column L.
Try this:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  11/8/2022  2:22:18 AM  EST
If Target.Column = 11 Then

Select Case Target.Value
    Case "Approved", "Rejected"
        Target.Offset(, 1).Value = Application.UserName & "," & Now()
       
        Case Else
        MsgBox "You entered: " & Target.Value & vbNewLine & "That's not a proper value", , "Oops"
       
    End Select
End If
End Sub
