what takes precedence between change and selectionchange?

[susan]

Hi

i have a single sheet with these 2 events:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Is there a particular order of execution between these two in excel?


Also how can I disable the selectionchange from executing if the user
deletes a value? When the value is deleted it puts it back

Thank you
Susan Hayes

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim mytime
mytime = Now
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If Target.Column <= 26 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If mytime > Range("O" & Target.Row).Value + 0.5 And Range("P"
& Target.Row).Value = 0 And _
Range("H" & Target.Row).Value = Range("S" & Target.Row).Value
Then
Range("C" & Target.Row).Value = "Historical"


End If

End If

ErrHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

well you can't do both at the same time, so whatever is done first, that
event gets fired.

The only way to repopulate a cell with any value or formula is to have that
value/formula saved somewhere so that if the target cell value is "" you can
recover the data.
One way would be to have a hidden sheet. each time a valid entry id made,
the value is also copied to the same cell in the hidden sheet. if a cells
value is deleted, then the 'saved' value is recovered. of course the copy
sheet doesn't have to be hidden.

In this example sheet1 is ny data entry sheet and sheet3 is the copy.put the
code in sheet1's code page

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Trim(Target.Value) = "" Then
Target = Worksheets("sheet3").Range(Target.Address)
Else
Worksheets("sheet3").Range(Target.Address) = Target
End If
End Sub

enter a value into any cell on sheet1. look at sheet3 - see that value. back
in sheet1, change the value & check sheet3. in sheet1 delete the value...the
last good value appears. enter a space and the last good value appears
