How to automate an Excel macro?

I have been working on an Excel VBA macro for a few weeks now.

I would really like to automate it but don't know how. So far, the macro is for a student who has completed his assignment (Excel document). The assignment is to have the student type in the course title and then run through the whole list of courses from A to Z. If the course title is one that is not in the list, the user will get a message saying the course is not available. However, the user has to rerun the macro every time to see if the course is still not available.

Here is the code that I have so far: Sub CheckCourseAvailability(). '
' CheckCourseAvailability Macro.
'
Dim strTitle As String. strTitle = Range("A1"). Do Until IsEmpty(strTitle). On Error Resume Next. With WorksheetFunction. .CountIf(Range("D:D"), strTitle) If .CountIf(Range("D:D"), strTitle) = 0 Then MsgBox "Course not available". Exit Sub. Else. MsgBox "Course available". End If. End With. On Error GoTo 0. Loop. End Sub. As you can see, it is asking for the course title (A1) and checking to see if the course is available. If the course is not available, a message box will pop up with the course not available message. The issue I am having is that the user has to rerun the macro to check if the course is still not available.

How to create a simple macro in Excel?

This will open the VBE (Visual Basic Editor)

Open up the project. In the VBE, double click on the file you want to edit the macro in. This will open it for editing. In the upper left hand corner there should be an "Insert" tab. Double click on the little triangle symbol next to the text tool and you'll get the tools palette. In this window select "Macro" and drag and drop into the VBE the block of code that you want to execute when the macro is triggered.

When the macro runs, you can select a range of cells and it should insert the proper formulas into the cells.

How to create a macro in Excel without recording?

I have tried creating a macro in excel without recording and am stuck at the beginning.

I cannot get my code to run. I do not know if it is because the line that makes it run is not visible on my screen or whether the code is just bad (please dont judge).

Sheet Code: Option Explicit. Private Sub WorksheetChange(ByVal Target As Range). If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A2:J50")) Is Nothing Then Dim c As Range. For Each c In Target. If Not IsEmpty(c) Then. If c <> "" Then. Range(c.Address).Select
End If. Next c. End Sub. If you open the developer tool window (by pressing F12) you'll see where your macro stops. It's probably either at Dim c As Range or Range(c.Address).Select. If you hover over these you'll see that they are indeed not part of the "live" code, but as they aren't being triggered by any events, their location can be anywhere.

I haven't actually tested your code, but it should help you with finding the next problem.
