View 2 RepliesNot sure if this is possible or if I would need to run a VB macro. image multiple columns with text headers.
'A'=Project Number 'B'= Date 'C'=Description etc etc etc 'S'=Cancelled (i actually use up to 'Z' on the columns for various other data)
I have added a Conditional Format on the cells in column 'S' that if the cell data = Y then colour the cell RED. This at first glance will show that the project has been cancelled. What I would like it to do is to colour the complete row (shaded grey for example) this would then show up more easily with the amount of data that is on my sheet.
I would like to be able to change the color of a cell in V4:AB31 and have the formula in AM10:AM13 automatically calculate the new result. As it is now the user has to press Ctrl ALT f9 for the formula to recalculate.

I got the basics, but the macro changes color on the cell that is selected after the input, that is if I change A1 I want A1:J1 to turn green, but what happens is i change A1 and then select B5 than B5 turns grenn, I have tried to modify my macro but can't get it right ...

So far the search formula works nicely, but there needs to be some way to know what items have been removed from their locations.
There needs to be some way to change the location on the 'database' sheet layer to "OUT" from the 'search' sheet layer.
E.g. (on the example file attached)
In a perfect world I would like to be able to search for a couple of pokemon, then to click on "pokeball GO!!!" and for this to change the location to "out" on the 'database' sheet layer.
What I want to do is if I add data into B7 or F7 then the current date will appear in J7. I also don't want the date to change every time the project is opened.
Thus,
If I enter "withdraw or any word" into B7 or F7 - The current date (4-Dec) would appear in J7.
then if I close excel and I open it tomorrow, J7 would still read as 4-Dec, while if I enter "deposit or any word" into B8 or F8, the current date (5-Dec) would appear in J8.
- would need to be able to enter multiple entries on one day as well.
- also i am not familiar regarding macros.
I need to know how i can select an option from a dropdown list and have it drew data from a table and place it in a certain cell based on my choice.
i have attached a sample form.
in the sample form i have two dropdown lists.
Countries and POD
What I need is when i select an option from the POD list the data on the Rate table will appear on the left side in order of course.

I am looking to create a macro that will create a new sheet when data is added on a summary sheet. Example.
1. Summary sheet called "Variations" contains columns that will contain the information needed for new sheet (Columns A to D)
2. When data is entered on "Variations" sheet: Column B, then macro automatically creates new sheet renamed to e.g. VO1 (Number used on "Variations" tab) and is a copy of "Master" tab.
3. Data entered in Column A to D on "Variations" tab is automatically entered onto new sheet created (e.g VO1). Shown is blue on attached file. Additional data is updated on "VO1" sheet and this then links back to "Variations" tab
I have a Change Event macro that works properly. I also have several cells that contain a drop down list. If a user tries to enter an incorrect entry...the debug is triggered on my even change macro.
Here's the piece of the Change macro that has issues. Specifically, the .undo line highlights.
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
Set SelectedCell = ActiveCell
myTitle = Cells(Range("Titles").Row, Target.Column).Value
myRow = Target.Row
.Undo: myBefore = Target.Value
.Undo: myAfter = Target.Value
SelectedCell.Select
I am trying to find a way to write a Macro that will auto color multiple cells based on what data is displayed in one cell. The cell I want to reference is a vlookup cell.
Basically this is a part label. And depending what part is selected from the list my vlookup will display its position on a vehicle(i.e.. FR, FL, RR, RL, Etc..). So if vlookup comes back with FR I want the various cells on the label to be orange, etc..
ALSO: if there is a way to embed it so it does this automatically (rather than run the macro each time).
I need to know how to do the following;
When someone clicks on a specific cell, I want a different cell to then fill with data from another worksheet, can this be done?
For example, I have cells on a speadsheet box 1, box 2 and box 3. What I want, is when someone clicks on say box 2 to selects that option, then I want box 4 to auto-fill with the price I have from another spreadsheet
I am trying to figure something out. I´ve done a waterfall chart and I need a macro to do the following things with the source data (in order):
1.- Sort the data (Rows) between PROY an PPTO (PROY and PPTO values NOT included) in and ascending order (Based on column "Varia" value).
-------Proy ---- Acum.------Varia
PROY-- 670
ONE--------------- 650-------- 20
TWO------------- 650---------- 70
THREE--------- --- 293 -------- 427
FOUR--------- --- 252 ------- -41
PPTO----------------- 252
2.- Once that is done, and I don´t know if this is posible, I need to colour the scaterred columns (only the ones in the middle of the chart - one, two , three, four-, not PROY and PPTO) in the chart according to their value (Red if negative and green if positive).
I want to change the color of a cell's background based on valid data in the cell. I have a pull-down list, it uses a named list, and this all works fine. I want the cell to be red, and then after the user selects a valid entry from the pull-down list, I want to change the cell to yellow.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 10 excel sheets that are filled with data some 20,000 each.
Some of the descriptions in that row need to be changed.
I wonder how I can create some kind of macro or formatting that will change the text color or the fill color as I make those changes automatically?
I can sort the list after that easy enough, pulling the color text or the fill color.
I have a database which I want to send to my peers. I want to set a rule which will enable me to keep track of the data which are changed. For instance, in a cell if someone edit that number, the color will change from black to red.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat I have is a database of measurements taken, where X-axis is distance across a surface and Y-axis is measuring deformation to that surface. Each measurement is actually a group of data points from one sweep across the surface on a certain day, resulting in a line plot for that group. What I'm trying to do is create a "checksheet" so that you can overlay plots from multiple dates on the same grid to compare how the surface has changed with each measurement. I've got the checksheet part working properly, and I can toggle things on/off as I like as long as my data doesn't change.
The rub is that this data is gathered via query, and each measurement doesn't have the same # of data points. If I update the query to look at a different date range, the plots are now off because the old data range doesn't match the new data.
Is there any way of changing the data range when a query gets updated, or a way to tie it to a function?
I need change the color of the cell depending on the following conditions. (By the way the column will have names list)
1. single punctuations are allowed anywhere in name apart from first position.-->color should not change
2. If any name got consecutive punctuations --> color should change to RED.
3. Any punctuations apart from Dot(.), hyphen(-), apostrophe('), Space( ) are not allowed-->color should change to RED.
Example-
ShivakumaraNo Change
Shiva kumaraNo Change
Shiva'kumaraNo Change
shiva.kumaraNo Change
shiva kumarared
shiva''kumarared
shiva' kumarared
shiva. Kumarared
shiva.'kumarared
shiva:kumarared
In my Excel 2003 worksheet, I need the row color to automatically change to blue (color 5) (bgcolor = #0000FF) - when the user changes the text from VALID to INVALID in the range: B3:B65000.
For example:
Cell B5 contains the text: VALID
When the user changes the text in the field to read: INVALID - then I need the row range: A5:W5 to change to the color blue.
I have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have font color white in blank cells in column E and I (from row 5 to row 245) so the visitors will not see the text. If any of these cells become yellow (color code is 6), the font color will become black so visitors can see the text alot far better than white. I've tried this code myself after this post but nothing happen
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have various row cells in column (F) filled with the color Green. And corresponding text in Column G. How can I change the text of that particular row to white.
i.e.: if any cell in column F is Green, change the text color of that row in Column G to white?
What could be the formula if i want a particular cell to auto sum the data input. For example if i click cell a1 and entered a number and again entered a number , the previous entry will be added to recent entry.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was hoping there was an alternative to having to use so many named ranges for each sublist (there would many sublists in the actual workbook). Anyway, I'm a little uncertain about the code you posted - do the LIST and SUBLIST codes go in Source in Data Validation, or in Source in Dependent Validation Lists Based On Header Values? Can you give me a bit more instruction on this? Also, I'm trying to use the following code to color cells upon a change in value in V1 or V2, but can't get it to work. Can you kindly tell me what's wrong with it?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address <> "V1" Or "V2" Then Exit Sub
Select Case [V1].Value
Case "A"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 40
Case "B"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
Case "C"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
Case "D"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 34

How would I go about lock a cell after there is an entry. Once the entry has been made the user could not change the entry. For example if a user enter in cell b2 he could not change the entry, he could change a2, c2, d2. He would also be able to put an other entry in b3, once enter the cell is lock.
