This tip is about finding out whether a cell is within a range.

• It's basic set theory... we use VBA's INTERSECT

What we want to write is some VBA code that tells us whether we have selected a cell within the data table:

Here's the code we use here:

Explanation

1. Using Worksheet_SelectionChange we trap the event that the selection has been changed
2. We then set a variable InRange to equal an object returned by the intersect function
3. If the interset function doesn't find an intersect, it returns NOTHING
4. We then check whether InRange is equal to NOTHING...
   • If it is, the the user has not selected a cell within the range.
   • If it's equal to something, then the range is within MyData
