SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel to increment the value in cell C8 by 1 each time cell C9 is double-clicked. A provided code snippet demonstrates the implementation of the Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick event to achieve this functionality. The code effectively prevents the cell from entering edit mode by setting Cancel to True, allowing for repeated increments. Alternative methods, such as using SelectionChange or creating a button, are also mentioned for achieving similar results.
