Question

I know the code probably isn’t very good but I’m still learning VBA.

I’ve created a worksheet that organizes my college course list but I’m trying to make it so that the code executes automatically when I change a value in the first two columns.

An “x” in the first column selects that as a completed course which subtracts the credit hours for that class from the total hours required. An “S” and some number in the second column denotes a semester and sums up the credit hours to be taken per semester, for example, if I enter “S1” next to “Study and Careers in Engineering”, then it will take that 1 credit hour for that class and add it to the total amount of hours for the entire semester.

The two codes are completely independent of each other.

Private Sub Calculations()

    Dim creditsLeft As Integer creditsLeft = 130

    For i = 3 To 43
        If Cells(i, 1).Value = "x" Then creditsLeft = (creditsLeft - Cells(i, 8)) Next i

    Range("J3").Value = creditsLeft


    Dim S1creds, S2creds, S3creds, S4creds, S5creds, S6creds As Integer

    For i = 3 To 43
        If Cells(i, 2).Value = "S1" Then S1creds = (S1creds + Cells(i, 8))
        If Cells(i, 2).Value = "S2" Then S2creds = (S2creds + Cells(i, 8))
        If Cells(i, 2).Value = "S3" Then S3creds = (S3creds + Cells(i, 8))
        If Cells(i, 2).Value = "S4" Then S4creds = (S4creds + Cells(i, 8))
        If Cells(i, 2).Value = "S5" Then S5creds = (S5creds + Cells(i, 8))
        If Cells(i, 2).Value = "S6" Then S6creds = (S6creds + Cells(i, 8)) 
    Next i

    Range("J9").Value = "Sem 1 Hrs: " 
    Range("J10").Value = "Sem 2 Hrs: "
    Range("J11").Value = "Sem 3 Hrs: " 
    Range("J12").Value = "Sem 4 Hrs: "
    Range("J13").Value = "Sem 5 Hrs: " 
    Range("J14").Value = "Sem 6 Hrs: "

    Range("K9").Value = S1creds 
    Range("K10").Value = S2creds
    Range("K11").Value = S3creds 
    Range("K12").Value = S4creds
    Range("K13").Value = S5creds 
    Range("K14").Value = S6creds

    End Sub

You don’t even need VBA for that.

I3: =130-SUMIF(A3:A43,"x",H3:H43)
K9: =SUMIF(B3:B43,"S1",H3:H43)
K10: =SUMIF(B3:B43,"S2",H3:H43)
K11: =SUMIF(B3:B43,"S3",H3:H43)
K12: =SUMIF(B3:B43,"S4",H3:H43)
K13: =SUMIF(B3:B43,"S5",H3:H43)
K14: =SUMIF(B3:B43,"S6",H3:H43)
