Hello guys,
I have just joined this amazing place and I'm still novice in VBA . From the code below, I would like to display rows number of selected cells in cell "A4". The issue is I have the first number displayed in negative value without parenthesis. However I want to display a positive value between parenthesis.
Is something missing in the code
Thanks for your great help !
Code:
[COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]If Not Intersect(Target, Range(" D22:I46 ")) Is Nothing Then[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        Dim Cell As Range[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        If Target.Count > 1 And Target.Count < 70 Then[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        For Each Cell In Selection[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        Range("A4").Value = Range("A4").Value & "(" & Cell.Row - 21 & ")"[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        Next Cell[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        Else[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        Range("A4").Value = "(" & Target.Row - 21 & ")"[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]        End If[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]Else[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]Range("A4").ClearContents[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]End If[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#111111][FONT=Roboto]End Sub[/FONT][/COLOR]
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
The code loops through each cell selected. With the first cell in the loop, it puts something like (1). Excel evaluates that entry to just its' numeric negative (like a currency value).

Just format A4 as text and that should fix it.

Code:
[COLOR=darkblue]Private[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR] Worksheet_SelectionChange([COLOR=darkblue]ByVal[/COLOR] Target [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] Range)
    [COLOR=darkblue]Dim[/COLOR] Cell  [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] Range
    Range("A4").ClearContents
    Range("A4").NumberFormat = "@" [COLOR=green]'Text format[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Not[/COLOR] Intersect(Target, Range("D22:I46")) [COLOR=darkblue]Is[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Nothing[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Then[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=darkblue]For[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Each[/COLOR] Cell [COLOR=darkblue]In[/COLOR] Intersect(Target, Range("D22:I46"))
            Range("A4").Value = Range("A4").Value & "(" & Cell.Row - 21 & ")"
        [COLOR=darkblue]Next[/COLOR] Cell
    [COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR]
End [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR]
