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

It is giving an error message every time a change is made because there is nothing telling it to exit the code before your error handling section. Add an "Exit Sub" line there.

This is how you will want to end you code (under your ''''''''... line):
Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
 
ProcError: MsgBox "ERROR!"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 
End Sub

I'll try it tomorrow, thank you!

Also, is there any way to shorten the code?
I mean, I am basically repeating 3 commands over and over for different columns?
I couldn't get it to work using CASE and it would be super helpful if someone can help me out with that to both make it more manageable and allow me to add more code without worrying about reaching the max commands in a single macro. (Yes, I've got other sheets with that problem, but they're not related to this thread)

Once again - thank you!

If you have sections that repeat, meaning they follow the SAME logic, then you can use loops to loop through one section of code multiple times.
Basically, I see two main ways to do these kind of loops:

1. If there is a consistent "jump" in the values you need to check, you can use a loop like this (this example checks columns 3,6,9,12,15):
Code:
Dim c as Integer
For c = 3 to 15 Step 3
    If Target.Column = c Then
        ...
    End If
Next c

2. If the sections you need to loop through are not "consistent jumps", you can store the values in an array, and loop through the array, like this:
Code:
    Dim cols As Variant
    Dim i As Long
    cols = Array(5, 8, 17, 29, 36)
    For i = LBound(cols) To UBound(cols)
        If Target.Column = cols(i) Then
            ....
        End If
    Next i

Hello!

My code still doesn't work as intended.

Just want to re-iterate that it trigers on every column and row (even though I've tried specifying which ones to tiger it) and it doesn't work past ...like row 30 or something.
Every time I make a change it goes through itself and exits (if I put the above suggested exit before the end of the macro or if that's not there it'll just always proc the error.

Help please.

Please post your exact variation of your latest code attempt, so we can see it after you made the adjustments to it.
