I am trying to Formal my Cell Border automatically.
Lets say i have cells
A
B
B
A
A
A
These are single cells running downwards only. I want to format this 6 cells into 1 box using (outside borders) formating. I need to repeat this for every 6 cells into 1box...and continue on and on. Im doing this process manually...But i got like 100,000 cells...
I have a dynamic table (rows regularly added or deleted) that is generated automatically based on choices made by the user in another worksheet. I need a function that will examine all the cells in one column, and when it finds a difference between two cell entries, it will change the border between these two entries to dark (medium weight), and then extend this border across the table. The end result should be that wherever the cell contents differ within a column, the table is divided by a darker border across the entire row.

My formula within the cell is referencing another worksheet
=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1)
Ideally the formula within the conditional format would be
=NOT(ISBLANK(Sheet1!$A$1))
but it isn't possible to reference another worksheet within a conditional format.
I found this code (compliments of Andy Pope) which fills a background color based on its corresponding cell value. (then offsets all uniformly)

Cell X44 is a VLOOKUP that retrieves "Joe"
Let's say Joe goes on vacation. The workbook user goes in and puts a blue fill in C3. Cell X44 would also need to change automatically.
What's needed to make this happen?
I have a cell that is constantly being changed from a date to a number. Excel automatically formats the cell as a date when a date is entered but if I re-enter a number it leaves the format as a date.
Is there anyway to automatically change the format back to general if a date is not entered.
I had this bit of code obviously it dosent work.
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("E8:E46")) Is Nothing Then
If IsDate(Target.Value) Then
Target.NumberFormat = "d/mm/yy;@"
Else
Target.NumberFormat = "General"
End If
End If
Cancel = True
I am looking for VB code that will format a range of cells from a number format to a percentage format based on a reference cell. The reference cell is a drop down created from a list validation.
For example: If the reference cell (cell A1) =1 then cell range B2:C4 would be a number format. If A1 = 2 then cell range B2:C4 would be a percentage format.
I have searched for hours trying to find a relevant thread; I know they are out there, maybe I just wasn't typing in the correct search words.
I would like to accomplish 2 things in my Excel 2010 spreadsheet by click a cell which already has a number and formatting in it.
1. How do I change the color of the cell, the color of the number in it, and the border around it. (Make it look like I just pressed a button by clicking it.)
2. At the same time have the text in different cell and the number in the selected cell appear in another different cell. (Text in a different cell = A , and the number in the selected cell = 23, the value in the resulting cell be "A 23") Everything I would like to happen at the same time by clicking the selected cell. I would also like this to be done several times by clicking different cells and not changing the previously selected cells.
I have seen spreadsheet where the user has made the outline of the cell border non-visible. This seems like a fairly simple task, but I can't seem to find out how you format this type of border.

I am trying have the macro go from H7:H300 and if the value in the cell is "Grand" the I need it to border the top, right, and bottom. Not the left side and then keep going until all cells are checked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with DDE formulas in the cells. When the contents of any cell changes I want to DRAW A BORDER (NOT CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOR !!) AROUND THE CELL .. When another cell's value is updated I want to REMOVE the border which was around the"OLD" cell and now place a border around the most recently changed cell, etc.
Only the newest active cell should have a border around it !!!
How can I change its colour? Every time I try to it reverts to the automatic black. I do not want to change the automatic colour (not that I know how to) because black suits me for most of the cells; but there are some where I want a blue border.
This problem arose in conditional formatting but applies to ordinary formatting too. It occurs in 2007 and 2003.
I have an excel sheet that is pulling data from other sheet based on some cretaria...i want a macro that when ran on this excel fixes column width , makes cell border as "dotted" and outline the area with Thick Outline.
This is what a macro code should do ; Hope this makes sense...thanks.
1. Finds numeric values in rows falling in colum B,C,D,E , than border those cells as dotted (i.e. right click on cell - format column - Border - Style - 3rs on top left row).
2. After filling cell border style as mentioned above , macro should do a THICK BOX BORDER around a cells falling above dotted cells.. i.e. one big sqaure outlined contaiing dotted cells with numeric values.
3. Trick part , my sheet is divided into 2 parts , INTERNAL and EXTERNAL. So i have writen "INTERNAL" in A1 cell and EXTERNAL in 'A' row in last row after INTERNAL lines. So the THICK BOX BORDER as requested in pt 2 shud be separted ones for INTERNAL and sep from EXTERNAL.
Since I did not know how to do this I used the record macro cheating option.
Excel spit out this chunck of
I have a sheet which automatically adds entrys to the sheet depending on what team they are on, all i really want to do is colour and border to the last row only, i know this should be able to get done in conditional formationing some how but im unsure.
I have got it in some of the cells with text in, but the ones with numbers in remain the same, if i can remember i used con formating and done, if the cell value is greater than <> then my formating, but numbers remain the same.
Why is the VBA for putting a simple border around a cell so convoluted. For example cell A2:
Code:
Sub CellBorder()
Range("A2").Select
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
[Code] ........
So many lines to put a simple - single line border (square) around a cell.
Is there any way to change the border color of a cell by running a subroutine? Here is my example:
Col 1
Col 2

I have an existing table with data that is updated daily ... more rows are added. Currently, the cell border is black. I would like to run a macro such that the column header is shaded grey and the borders turn into a shade of gray. I am interested in the 35% grey.
I want to add borders to a range depending on the value in the "a" column. Normally I want a left border in cell "a", a right border in cell "h" and bottom border in cells "a" to "h". However if the value in cell "a" is the same as the cell below I do not want the bottom border.
Cell "a" contains the names of customers using our facilities each day. Some customers use several facilities on the same day. I want the borders to encompass all facilities used by each customer per day e.g. range "a1:h8" might need bottom borders on all rows, because they are single customers using only one facility that day but ranges "a9:h11" would require bottom borders only on row 11, because that customer is using three of our facilities that day.
Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("a:h").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
change the Range to "a:h"
and:-
With .Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With .Borders(xlEdgeRight)..........
how to filter rows of data, in ascending or descending order, whilst still retaining formatting (in my case cell borders) and conditional formatting?
At present, when I filter rows in ascending / descending order, the cell formatting & conditional formatting stays in it's original position, rather than moving with the cell. I can't find a way to resolve this.
I'm trying to double-click a cell to edit the contents, and I am off a few pixels, it treats the double-click as a double-click on the cell border, not the cell contents, and the focus jumps to another cell in the direction of the border instead of going into edit mode. The effect is as if I had pressed Ctrl and the arrow in the direction of the border I clicked on.
The only way I've found to disable this is to turn off the option "Enable fill handle and cell drag-and-drop", but unchecking that also disables actually useful things, like dragging the corner of a formula call to copy it down, etc.
Is there a good way to disable this cell jumping when I accidentally double-click a cell border?
As i navigate excel, I was wondering how to change the background or highlight (instead of bold border) the active cell?

I have been battling with this report I have been working with for sometime. Is there a way in Excel where I can automatically add zero into the time format?
The problem is I have to import data from another source and the time displays as a time format showing :59:00 insted of 0:59:00. Excel will not sum the calculation without the zero infront of the colon. This makes my report very time consuming. Can someone show me a way that I can automatcially add zero's infront when having data under 1:00:00?
I sometimes import data from an ERP Program to Excel. I want to write a Macro which will make the imported data more presentable (For example: draw borders for all the cells, give the heading a fill color etc. etc.). To do this I need to select the heading row. The problem is that each time there are a different number of columns.
How do I program the macro so that it will color all of the header? I saw a macro that does this on a pivot table and I want to do thae same on a regular table.
AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes".

I'm trying to write a macro that automatically italicize the a range of cells when you select a cell, and de-italicize it if you click it again. In this example, when select B12, the macro will automatically select B12:H12 and italize them. And if you select B12 again, it will automatically select B12:H12 and de-italize it.
This is what I have so far:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
MyAddress = ActiveCell.Row
If MyAddress > 11 And MyAddress < 159 Then
If Not Intersect(Columns(2), Target) Is Nothing Then
Intersect(Columns(2), Target).Resize(, 7).Select
End If
Select Case Target.Font.Italic
Case "True"
Target.Font.Italic = False
Case "False"
Target.Font.Italic = True
End Select
End If
End Sub
The code above does not work correctly.
I have a sheet that comes from a pivot table that I have to format each month. It's a pain I was hoping a macro might be able to do. I was told this is the place to come for this. I have attached the the sheet unformatted and formatted. Note, there are 2 more columns on the finished sheet I add in to show totals. Also note col A has to be re-ordered each time (Safety, Environmental, Security, Vehicles, Operations).
Not sure about the complexity of this. Let me know. And let me know if I need to supply more info.
Is there a way to find cells that have a date in them that has a text digit with a 2 digit year to 'xx07' rather than having to click on the error and selecting it manually.
it's playing havoc when I'm pulling some data from another workbook so converting en masse would sort the problem out!
Anyone know how to do this?
