How to determine if a worksheet Cell is Visible/Displayed in VBA?
Here's a function that does what you want:
Function CellIsInVisibleRange(cell As Range)
CellIsInVisibleRange = Not Intersect(ActiveWindow.VisibleRange, cell) Is Nothing
End Function
At least I think it does. I hadn't been aware of the VisibleRange property until now.
Call it like:
If CellIsInVisibleRange(ActiveSheet.Range("A35")) Then
MsgBox "Cell is visible"
Else
MsgBox "Cell isn't visible"
End If
The function from @DougGlancy will work in most instances but it fails if the Range has a row height or column width set to zero. This function adds logic to deal with that plus some error handling.
Function Range_IsVisibleInWindow(ByVal target As Excel.Range) As Boolean
' Returns TRUE if any cell in TARGET (Range) is visible in the Excel window.
'
' Visible means (1) not hidden, (2) does not have row height or column width of
' zero, (3) the view is scrolled so that the Range can be seen by the user at
' that moment.
'
' A partially visible cell will also return TRUE.
If target Is Nothing Then
' Parameter is invalid. Raise error.
Err.Raise 3672, _
"Range_IsVisibleInWindow()", _
"Invalid parameter in procedure 'Range_IsVisible'."
Else
' Parameter is valid. Check if the Range is visible.
Dim visibleWinLarge As Excel.Range
Dim visibleWinActual As Excel.Range
On Error Resume Next
Set visibleWinLarge = Excel.ActiveWindow.VisibleRange ' active window range -INCLUDING- areas with zero column width/height
Set visibleWinActual = visibleWinLarge.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) ' active window range -EXCLUDING- areas with zero column width/height
Range_IsVisibleInWindow = Not Intersect(target, visibleWinActual) Is Nothing ' returns TRUE if at least one cell in TARGET is currently visible on screen
On Error GoTo 0
End If
End Function
