I have two dates lets call them cells A1 and A2. I then have another cell that caluclates the difference in these dates into a simple number (ie not another date) - A3. I need one of two things.
Ideally I want the whole cell (A3) to appear as a Green (fill) cell if the value is below 5, appear Orange if beween 6 and 9 and appear as red if its 10 or over.
I do not know if you can colour a cell that has a formula in already. So what follows is my current 'work around', which, if you can not colour the A3 cell, then I would need this cell coloured (A4). =IF(D12>7,"Urgent Attention",IF(D12<5,"New",""))
I want to fill this formula down so that the summing occurs all the way down the collumn. However when I fill it down, it just copys the first two forumlas, rather than make the formula correspond to the row.
I need to fill 2 other cells with varying colours dependant on what is chosen within another cell.
I have a drop-down list in cell A2 to select either ON SITE, ACTIVE or CANCEL.
What I need then basically is... if A2 equals 'ON SITE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) GREEN if A2 equals 'ACTIVE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) YELLOW if A2 equals 'CANCEL' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) RED
I have a calendar set up with dates going along P6:CU6. Column C9:C27 has various status' for the job such as "Complete" or "In Progress" etc. Next to that in rows D and E I have start and end dates for the job. What I am trying to do is change the fill colour of the empty cells that are in line with each job, so that between the correct dates they are the corresponding colour to the status. So a complete job on row 9 that started on 26/05/14 and finished on 28/05/14 would have three green cells along Q9, R9, and S9.
I have tried an IF/AND/OR statement which looks like this:
I am getting a #VALUE! data type error, I have tried reformatting the cells to various date formats but no luck so far. This could be because my dates are set up as =P6+1 etc. but I am not sure. The error only occurs when the cell falls within the dates, otherwise it remains blank.
I intend to hide the value in the cell and use conditional formatting to change the cell colour based on the hidden input.
Once this is working I also need to take weekends into account, column G has any 2 value combination of Y and N to say whether the employee is working Saturday, Sunday or both. Row 7 has a "1" value underneath every Saturday and a "2" underneath every Sunday. I can imagine how this would work but combining it with the above formula could be complicated.
if I have one cell that ive enlarged to half the sheet.... and it is effected with rollover hyperlink so that when I hover over other cells. it turns different colours..
is it possible to make that cell open up different files using the double click event depending on the colour it currently is?
i.e. if its blue, open file1. if its yellow, open file 2 etc
i have an excel file which contains data, I want to be able to search this file and to fill the cell and its next 3 cells to the right with a certain colour. Is this possible as I have wrote some vba to do this but, Im only able to search and not fill the cells with the correct colour.
I want to colour in the relevant cells for each ref depending on the numbers in the stage column. So for the first line, the cells in columns 1,2,4&6 need to be shaded in. For the second line, the cells in columns 1,2,3,4,&5 need to be shaded in. I already have a lot of conditional formatting set on the sheet so need to do this with a macro.
I have tried to write something but am having issues with it finding the 1 and shading in the correct column but then jumping out of the loop and on to the next cell.
I'm looking for some code to change a cell's fill colour
eg. by selecting an individual cell in a range, say A1, the colour of a cell, say K1, in a corresponding range changes to yellow or if I select multiple cells, say A1:A9, the colour of cells K1:K9 change to yellow
I have a worksheet with pricing & part numbers on sheet1. I put a formula on sheet2 that puts the lowest price in colum C of sheet2. Now I need to also get the part number from the cell before. So if the lowest price is in cell E3 I need to also get the part number in D3, and put it in B3.
I want to gradually change th colour in a block of cells. my plan is to use code to sequentially fade through ten or so shades from light to dark. is there a way to slow the code down so that it takes a couple of seconds to run the sequence?
I have a spread sheet with various tick boxes, that when ticked calculate an accumulative percentage in a cell. This cell is the basis of my graph. e.g. if the cell displays 80% - the chart with show 80% - simple.
however, I want to write a vba code that changes the fill colour of the chart depending on the percentage.
i.e. if the percentage data = 0-49% I wish the chart to display as red. 50-69% - yellow and 70%+ = green.
Im after the code for searching this coloumn for 8 dates i have listed elsewhere and then i would like it to apply rose colour just to the dates in column a.
how do i link with specified dates?
With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 38 .Pattern = xlSolid End With End Sub
I have been working on a spreadsheet but I use autoformat for.
For example if the date in the cell matches today's date then it turns the text read and makes it bold.
I was wondering if there was a way to format several cells in a row if a certain criteria was met.
for example
A B C 1 Item Cost Quantity 2 Car £11,520 2 3 Bike £7,500 1 4 Tyres £50 4
Now for example if I set a condition whereas the quatity is greater than 3 then it would highlight the whole row.
So in the example above I would like to to highlight row 4 and Fill colour cells A4,B4 & C4 with a yellow background and Red Text and make the texted bold.
I'm recording a macro, so a line in my graph is a specific green. The marker fill won't retain the green, it always ends up blue. the lines and marker line is green. no matter what color I try the marker fill will always be blue. How to correct this?
I'm trying to create an excel spreadsheet to manage personnel and various ongoing projects, what I'm trying to do is create a custom box with a selection of options (5) that will automaticaly fill a selected range of cells with a colour and 'merged' text that was selected from the custom box.
A column of cells can be 1o different shades of green according to their value (achieved by using conditional formatting.) I want to arrange that at a certain time all the cells of a part of the row of a formatted cell are the same colour.
In 1 cell i need a forumla to give me a starting number and take one away each time a code or codes are dislayed in a cell range. Something like this
A1 = 23 days or any number days i needed
Cell range B1:C52
every time a selected 1 or 2 letter code appears in the cell range i want A1 to subtract 1 day from the starting number, i would need it to subtract half a day if one code appears ie HD, the codes may be P, OT, HD
I need a formula showing that if a number is less than say 1.25 then it rounds down to 1.0 and if its between 1.25 and 1.75 then it rounds to 1.5 and then if greater than 1.75 then it rounds up to 2. I need it to work for all numbers not just 1.
I have a worksheet I use at work that calculates volume proccesed hourly, and also shows a running total as you enter hourly figures into the table, my question is can you hide everything in the result cell until the figures for each hour are entered ? currently all the result cells have irrelevant numbers in them until you enter the hours figure and the formulas do there thing, I could relly do with them being blank until the relevant hours information is input?
I am trying to do is use a combination of IF and SEARCH forumlas to return a result based on a choice of constants available to the user. Issue 1: IF Function to determine which worksheet to SEARCH What I would like to add to this is if one of the 3rd criteria (Amount) is under a certain number then the results are derived from the 'Staff' worksheet'. (This is stage I have gotten to so far). However, if the criteria is above a certain number then the results are derived from the 'Executive' worksheet. This is the part I'm so far unable to do.
Issue 2: SEARCH function returning the column per the user's selection on 'Matrix' page In addition, criteria 2 (Type) can be selected which corresponds to a column in the Staff and Executive worksheets. So far I have been unable to get the correct search results to post in the Matrix page. What I mean by this is that currently it is set to Type1 only. I have tried using an IF function in cell G8 and include this in the formula, however, the forumla returns the contents of G8 in the cell instead.
Issue 3: SEARCH results are post in an accending order. At this stage I have only been able to work how how to do this by using an AUto Filter on the Staff and Executive pages and sorting accending that way. Going forward as updates are made to the staff and executive pages I would prefer that this manual task was not required. Instead, the formula used returns the search in accending order.
In the hours column usually the entries consist of numbers and everything works fine. However when an employee is on holiday they are still paid.
What I want to do is be able to enter the letter "H" for one of the entries in the hours column. The sheet to translate this as 2 hours.
H=2 x rate of pay = total
I cannot for the life of me get the correct formula to in order to achieve this. I don't particularly want to use a macro for this and others have suggested the "COUNTIF" function.
