Automatic Formatting Of Cells Based On Rules / Criteria
Jul 22, 2014
I have a long set of data that I extract a "table" out of based on index matching controlled by 4 different criteria. This part is working as intended. However I need to format the cells with the corresponding "fetched data" based on another criteria. Makes sense? Have a look at a spreadsheet i made representing my problem. It has comments for the problems.
how to apply conditional formatting via VBA to a range of cells based on input from another range of cells. Obviously this would be easy in Excel 2010, but I'm still using 2003 at the office and it needs to stay in this format to be readable by other users:
For cells M8:EK8, my conditional formatting condition 2: Formula Is =AND($E$8>=M2,(($E$8-$D$8)>=(N2-$M$2))), color index is 40 condition 3: Formula Is =AND($F$8<=M2,$G$8>=M2), color index is 39 I want to add: condition 4: Formula Is =AND($H$8<=M2,$I$8>=M2), color index is 40 condition 5: Formula Is =AND($J$8<=M2,$K$8>=M2), color index is 39 and so on
The cells in the range M8:EK8 are blank, they only get colored based on input added to D8 to K8. If there is no input, then the cells should be uncolored.
I would like to fill some cells with a customer id if this customer is the same as the cell bellow. As my example below.
CUSTOMER idCUSTOMER NAME TYPE 737346 Nikos 81 1154765 Kyriakos 81
1154780 Thanos 81
I would like to fill automatically the empty cell bellow Kyriakos the customer id 1154765 in new column. I want in column "new" to fill with customer id and when the customer id is empty to fill the same customer id as above customer id.
Basically, I want to format a group of cells to display 1 decimal figure if the number is not a whole number. If the number is a whole number (or if the rounded first decimal place is 0) I want it to display no decimal.
I'm having to successfully add three conditional formatting rules, and associated cell interior colour formats if any of the rules are met.
Each time I run my macro, I want to refresh every cell, within a defined range within a Col P, with these rules.
So far, I can add the three rules to each cell, but when I try and add the format colour - for when a rule is met - I keep getting a 'Subscript out of range error'.
(As an aside, is my For / Next loop approach the best one to take to add the formatting to each cell, or can it be written much simpler?)
Here's my script:
VB: Dim Col_P As Range Dim Cell_in_ColP As Long 'Set up range of cells to add conditional formatting rules to Set Col_P = Worksheets("tRIIO Pack Notices").Cells(2, 16).Resize(Lrow - 1)
I have a sheet that has 13 players listed in rows down column A. I have 6 columns each representing a quarter in a game. I was wondering what the best way would be to randomly select 5 players in each column and to distribute each cell selection as equally as possible over the 6 quarters.
So what I am doing is having excel designate equal amounts of playing time for each player each game.
I have a gantt chart that was built in excel. I need to shade cells in the timeline based on persons title under each project.
I can provide a snip of what the layout looks like for a better visual. I want the PM's Green, Supers Yellow and Persons Reporting Orange.
To get the green bar shown is using formula: =SEARCH("Project Management",$E17) , The issue with this is it fails to consider the start finish dates. For this particular project it works but when the formatting is "dragged down" the issue arises.
So the title isn't really totally descriptive but it was all I could come up with. I have a work book that has 30 identical sets of 5 cells for users to enter in information. Some of my users will not need all 30 sets. I'm wondering if there is a way for the user to enter the number of cells they need and have excel then format so they have the desired number, instead of 30. Then have excel change all the instances of this number in formulas so that it matches the new number of cells. I hope I explained this well enough for someone to help.
Essentially what I want, is to type a medication in, lets say, A2, and for a macro to produce a response in B2 based off of grouping criteria from another worksheet. My workbook better explains what I would like to see happen. A macro would be best for this, right?
how to display the current set of conditional formatting? I don't want to go to the cells I want a listing of all the conditional formatting rules. I am sure I have seen this somewhere in the past but cannot locate it.
I have two conditional formatting rules that work independently, but I am looking to combine them into 1 rule, making (2) subject to (1) when (1) is true
I have a spreadsheet with many rows of data. I want to be able to see the last month or so of data (each day is one row), but I do not want to have to scroll to the bottom of the worksheet to see the recent data, so I want to reverse the data - I want Row 1 to be my column headers, and for every new day I want to insert a new row at Row 2 and add my data. However, when I do that, my conditional formatting gets all messed up. Once the new row is added, the formatting rule changes its range to only those rows which had data in them before I did the insert, each new row gets a separate but identical rule that applies only to itself, and the headers row gets its own rule.
That seems incredibly stupid to me. Is there a way I prevent the formatting rules from changing and just stay the way they are which applies to the entire column?
I want to create a monthly timesheet which contains 9 columns for (Date, Day, Project no., Activity, Time In, Time Out, Total Hours, OT Hours, Remarks)
I have used IF Function to calculate Total Hours & OT hours automatically. Time IN & Time OUT, Project No., will be entered manually on daily basis.
Weekday function is used in the Day column to return the corresponding day of the date in the Date column.
Name of the Month and Year will be manually entered in the designated cells I3 and I4 respectively.
Now the solution I am looking for is, the dates should be automatically entered in the Date column (in cells A8 to A38) based on the Month & Year entered in cells I3 & I4. Dates of the corresponding month of the year should only be filled in. (If a month is not having 29, 30 or 31st day, the corresponding cells should be left blank. i.e. nothing should be displayed in the corresponding cells). I am looking for some sort of formula to enter in the cells of Date column (A8 to A38) achieve this. I have searched the forum and could not find anything which could at least give me an idea about the kind of function or formula to be used.
Attached here is the time sheet I am trying to create.
I'm looking for assistance with working out the following formula. I live on an apartment complex in Marbella Spain and we pay Monthly Community Fees of say $100.
We want to calculate a penalty amount for late payers of say 30% of the monthly fee due for non payers? So for instance if the monthly amount due in Cell D8 = 100 and the actual amount received in cell E8 shows 0 or then increase any figure due for the following month in Cell F8 should increase by 30% ($ 130) in the following month. and so on
I use Excel ver 2003. Trust my query is reasonably clear?
I am trying to clear row with the following rules:
the last cell must not contain 0, if 0 delete entire row. the first cell the the A row should be only three character long, if more delete entire row.
Now I managed to delete the 0 in the last cell and but cannot get the VBA to count the characters in the first row and if more than three, delete the entire row . I know to count the characters in a cell is done by Len(Rng.Value) , but getting the VBA right is alluding me .
the script is here,
Sub Del_rows_with_zero_in_column_of_activecell() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Const StartRow As Long = 1 'Row to Start looking at Dim StopRow As Long Dim Col As Long
how to create VBA code for conditionally formatting a column of dates that have expired. My unique challenge is that I first need to associate the item attached to the date with the expiration date of a particular group. Therefore, I have to first match the Item label with the appropriate group, and then I need to evaluate the expiration dates of both the Group and the Item. If the Item expires before the Group expires, then I need the Item date to be formatted in bold and with a red font.
Attached is a sample spreadsheet.
Thoughts about how to accomplish this with VBA? By the way, VBA is the necessary approach due to the fact that the data is updated several times per day, and all existing data is erased prior to uploading new data.
I am trying to figure out how to set up a spreadsheet, that comprises a list of open-entries, wherein the user will insert their information and a % out of 100 assigned to them; the entire form, in the end, cannot go beyond 100%, so each entry has to be done correctly...
BASICALLY my problem is that I am trying to set up the " Total %" cell, which is already assigned the formula "=SUM(D5:D16)" (D5 through D16 being the cells in which %'s are assigned) so that it will auto-populate with the appropriate color/error if the %'s are either insufficient (short of 100%) or exceeding (above 100%). What I had been trying to set up (and have successfully set up in other spreadsheets, however under slightly different circumstances) is a Conditional Format in which the first (with the color Red for "exceeding") was " =If(SUM(D5:D16)>100,SUM(D5:D16),SUM(D5:D16))
" So regardless of exceeding, exactly met, or insufficient totals, it would post the total entered, BUT assigning the color red, so that IF it did, in fact, total higher than 100, it would appear red. A similar formula would be applied to Green (reflecting "on target") in which the formula would be " =If(SUM(D5:D16)=100,SUM(D5:D16),SUM(D5:D16))"
Now the problem is: this is not working for the SUM of the cells. In my previous experience with Conditional Formatting and color assigning results, it had been with the AVERAGE of two columns of cells.(worked without a hitch.)
I have set all cells in a worksheet to be protected. I then selected specific cells that are not protected. The problem is that cells A11:D29 except C13:C14 do not follow the protection rules in that I can edit them (but when I right click, I cannot format, just like they're protected). These cells are NOT part of the group that was selected to be unprotected. When I unprotect the sheet and check the protection setting for these oddball cells, it shows as protected. All other protected cells do not allow entry (which is what I want).
I am drawing a blank. I want to use conditional formatting in cell b2 that will outline the cell(I know how to do that) based on a formula. The formula I need would determine if cell a2 is 26,27, or 28. Or function just returns true/false. I would rather not use 2 formulas.
I'm trying to set up conditional formatting in a spreadsheet where there are 3 possible correct letters that can be entered into a range of cells and if one of these letters is not entered then I would like the cell to be highlighted.
To be more precise, it's an accommodation spreadsheet and in each cell if someone needs a room for that particular night (each night is represented by a separate column) then a letter is used to indicate what type of room they require i.e. "k" is a king room, "s" is a Suite and "t" is a twin. I don't want to force people to have to select from a list which would be the obvious solution to this as it is simply too cumbersome for the amount of data entry we do.
However i want to ensure that if someone accidentally enters anything other than t,k or s then the cell is highlighted. We work in large spreadsheets covering months of dates so to manually have to find any errors is hugely time consuming.
I need a macro that will highlight a row based on a cell criteria. I have used conditional formatting but there is a lot to format and has dramatically slowed the sheet down. However, I know nothing about macros/vbas.
E.g. If it states JI sent then I want the whole row to be highlighted light green.
App form needed = peach Waiting list = light blue Cancelled = red font strikethrough DNA = purple font strikethrough.
Also - it could well be that in the row it has App form received, JI Sent and DNA all in 1 go. So ideally I would want that row to be highlighted light green with purple font strikethrough.
Booking Status JI Status Date JI Sent Attendance Cancellation date Chargable / non chargable Cancellations Chargeable / non chargeable DNA Date taken Time taken Event Title Start Date Time
Ive been having a little issue with this spread sheet. The problem ive got is I cant get the validation to work where it only allows one yes in a bunch of cells and gives an error message, heres an example of what im talking about.
I would like to have excel check if eight of ten of cells in a row are above a certain criteria, then if they are format the tenth cell to be red...so excel checks the ten cells above and if eight of them are above a certain number then that cell shades red.
Column b in sample is conditionally formatted based on it's values. I want to also apply that same formatting to the person's name in the chart in D2:I9. For example, Jeff is in bottom 50% so cell B2 is shaded red with red text. I would like to apply that same red shade and red text to all the cells in my chart that say Jeff. Also, as example, all of the cells in my chart that say Kelsey would be formatted with green shade/green text and so on...
I need to be able to get a macro to do this. I recorded the macro. The conditional worked, but when I cleared it and then ran the macro, it highlighted all of the wrong stuff. Here is what I want to do: In column(AJ) I have cities with Prefixes or not In another column (AV) I have Criteria1 and in yet another, I have criteria2 (CB)
City (AJ) Criteria1 Criteria2 SCRNRTH_SCRM1 FALSETRUE should fail test A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1FALSETRUE A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1FALSETRUE A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1FALSEFALSE should fail test SCRNRTH_SCRM1 TRUETRUE should fail test A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1FALSETRUE SCRNRTH_SCRM1 FALSEFALSE A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1FALSEFALSE should fail test A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1FALSEFALSE should fail test A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1TRUETRUE should fail test A9_SCRNRTH_SCRM1FALSETRUE....................
Working in Excel 2007. I am using excel for a data log (basically) and want it to format all empty cells in a row yellow if there is data in column A
Basically, If i have a value in A2, I want any empty cell between B2-G2 to be filled in yellow (as an idicator to the inputter that the cell needs to be completed).
there is already conditional formatting on these cells, which i want to maintain for the non-empty cells. I also have "0" as a value, so I couldn't use the basic conditional formatting setting it =0, it highlighted cells with $0.00, which i do not want.
Is there a way to copy the formatting of a cell automatically? For example, if you just do "=B1", then the cell with this formula will automatically update with whatever cell B1 contains whenever it is changed.
But is there a way to do the same thing with formatting? So if cell B1 was bolded, or changed the cell color, or conditional formatting, is there a way the cell that is referenced to B1 would also automatically change to whatever the formatting change is?
