Is there any way to have a cell change its colour depending on whether a condition is met. E.G., can i have it as green if the result is a plus number and red if its a negative?
View 2 RepliesHow to a change a cell colour to say red in B6 if cell b12 = 1 and if e6 = 1 to change to green. I thought I might be able to use conditional formatiing but no. I had set the spread sheet to do a cell just for a condition representing a sum from another worksheet and it was working fine but i have to incorporate the two together and am stock.
I have attached a spread sheet.
i need to change the colour of 4 cells depending on the one cell.
i have found some vba codes on the net but they are all based on numbers and i need it on text.
so if a1 ="alert" make A1 to A4 red
if a1="passed" make a1 to a4 green... and so on
i cant used conitional formatting as i need more than 3 colours
I would like to conditional format an Object depending on the variance between 2 weeks.
If the value is > than 0% the arrow is Green and points upwards.
If the value is = to 0% the arrow is Yellow and points at at 90 degree to the left.
If the value is < than 0% the arrow is Red and points downwards.
Attached is a sample : rrow Conditional Format.xlsm
In my spreadsheet cell g1 is a name and cells g3:g6 contain data for that name.
I have a macro that exports the data in g3:g6 to another workbook and then deletes it.
What I need is a macro that when I try to change g1, gives me a warning if there is unexported data in cells g3:g6 (ie the sum of them is greater than zero) and gives the option of either continuing or stopping (presumably using a YesNo box).
I am trying to create a sheet in XL 2010.
In Column A each cell will contain a date (differnet from other cells in that column) when inspection was last done.
Column B is when the weekly inspection is due.
Column C is when bi-weekly inspection is due.
Column D is when monthly inspection is due.
Column E is when 6 monthly inspection is due.
I need a formula to change the colour of cells B, C, D & E when each inspection is due depending on the date entered in A
I am hoping its possible that the cell colour can stay for 2 days after the due date and then return back to blank after the second day.
For example if cell A1 has a date of January 1 2013 then on January 8 2013 cell B1 turns red then on January 10 2013 the cell returns back to normal.
A1
B1
C1
D1
E1
Inspection Date
Weeekly Due
Bi-WeeklyDue
Monthly Due
6 Monthly Due
January 1 2013
Change red Jan 8 & return blank Jan 10
Change red Jan 15 & return blank Jan 17
Change red Feb 1 & return blank Feb 3
Change red June 1 & return blank June 3
Is it possible to use a formula to shade a cell dependent on a condition? I have tried an if formula (see below) but it is incorrect. =if('November 2006 SVOC'!B6>'March 2006 SVOC'!C6,'November 2006 SVOC'!B6 [red],if('November 2006 SVOC'!B6<'March 2006 SVOC'!C6,'November 2006 SVOC'!B6 [blue],))

if ad4 is greater or less than 30 then ad4 text is red, if ad4 is equal too 30 then text is green
I have a spreadsheet with several freeforms. I would like them to change backgroundcolour, if the content in a cell is equal to another cell.
Basically I would like my shape "Freeform1" to change backgroundcolour to RGB (0, 180, 0) if Sheet1.Range ("A1") = Sheet2.Range("D3").
If it's not the same content in both cells, I would like the freeform to remain unchanged, that's RGB (79, 129, 189).
This should happend automaticly, so I don't have to click the shape to make it happen.
I found the code below to do almost exactly what i want. However, i would like to know if it can be modified to only affect a specific cell range. In my case, the cell range is B9:AF37.
Option Compare Text 'A=a, B=b, ... Z=z
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Cell As Range
Dim Rng1 As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set Rng1 = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 1)
On Error Goto 0
If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
Set Rng1 = Range(Target.Address)
Else
Set Rng1 = Union(Range(Target.Address), Rng1)
End If
For Each Cell In Rng1
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 dont have that great knowledge in Excel but i wanted to try and run a
macro in an IF formula but realised that was not possible. I have now got a
formula that gives a value in a cell when i want the whole row to turn to
red, but im not sure how i can get a macro that will change the whole row to
red when that cell shows a value. Can anyone help on this matter?
I am tyring to do conditional formatting whereby if anything is entered in a cell i want the colour to change to say yellow and if nothing is entered just to leave blank.

I would like to have the colour of a cell change within a spreadsheet anytime that a change has been made. I have used the worksheet_change function to change any text that has changed in a cell, however I would like to have the actual cell colour change if someone deletes anything from that cell. I figured that I could use the worksheet_change function for that as well however it is not working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI dont understand how this event works.
I want a certain object to change colour when a certain cell = something.
I have 5 cells in the same row (C20:G20)
When i click on one of them i want it to either change the background of the selected cell or the background of the cell below it.
EG if i click on C20 either C20 or D20 the highlight black and change the text colour to white, or just change the background to grey.
i thought it might be something like Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6
i tried this>
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells = C20 Then
Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6
End If
End Sub
Trying to have this embedded in the worksheet private sub change section. I want it to change the value of these ranges when the target has a value in it. I'm getting an error though:
If Target.Address = "$E$27" Then
If Target.Value "" Then
Range("I25:J26,P25:P26,R25:S26").Interior.ColorIndex = White
Else
Range("H25:V31").Interior.ColorIndex = 15
End If
End If
I've found a great thread that answered part of my problem (Change colour of text on update of cell)
This code changes the colour of a cell when selected. With the application I'm trying to make I need this effect to only occur in a certain area say A10:D30
I'm trying to make a scheduling page that uses timebars to represent when people are working. I though if a user could click or highlight the hours and a time bar produced I could lookup to see what hour the timebar starts and ends and show the hours worked. I also need it to cycle through 5 different colours before returning to white.

I have a few buttons on my page that I would like to change colors depending on the value in cell AI1. Right now this is the code I have:
[Code] .......
What I would like is to add formatting for "rounded rectangle 4" as well. if the cell = 1, number 4 changes color, if the cell = 2 both change color, and if the cell =3 then only 5 changes color.
I want to be able to do the following: I have data in column a and I want the text to change to strikethrough in, for instance, cell a1 when data is entered in b1.
it is possible to change the colour of a cell text and / or cell background depending on a value.
For example I have currently 2 cells with numbers in
G3 = 4.38
K3 = 8.68
What I wolud like to happen is for the cell with the lowest value to change to Red.
The Column letters will always remain the same but I do plan to add a lot more rows.
Is there any way to change the border color of a cell by running a subroutine? Here is my example:
Col 1
Col 2
1
2
3
4
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 have 2 columns of figures. One column has a defined name of 'Estimated Value' and the other column 'Actual Value'
My IF statement should simply read "=If(Estimate>Actual,Text color RED, Text Color Black)
My attempts at finding the code for the True/False statements are legion and 'Conditional Formatting' does not appear to work
I am trying to make a cell change colour based on the partial content of another cell.
For example, cell A4 has a alpha-numeric sequence in it and I want cell B4 to turn blue if part of the sequence is ABD or F&C.
