Excel Vba Display Message with Macro in Spreadsheet [Q]

I have to create microsoft excel spreadsheet with a range of cells with excel formula. I would like to create display of message in excel spreadsheet

” This cell contains excel formulas. Please do not type here”

when a user clicks on a range of cells with excel formula.

Excel Vba Display Message with Macro in Spreadsheet [A]

I think using excel worksheet protection is much easier and safer (excel macros setting can be disabled).

But if you want:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim FormulaCells As Range

Set FormulaCells = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set FormulaCells = Intersect(Target, _
Target.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas), _
Me.UsedRange)
Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error GoTo 0

If FormulaCells Is Nothing Then
‘ok
Else
MsgBox “Your selection contains formulas”
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Goto Me.Range(”a1″)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

End Sub

If you want to try, rightclick on the excel worksheet tab that should have this behavior. Select view code. Paste this into the newly opened code window. I went back to A1. You should change that to where you want them to be if they selected a range with at least one cell with a excel formula.

Then back to microsoft excel to test it out.

Ps. Lots of things get disabled when you run excel vba macros. Try the undo or redo
buttons.
