Change Cells Formatting When Formula Result Changes
Jan 25, 2008
I am having some issues with my conditional formatting code. I need 5 condtions, so I cannot use the built in Cond. Format. Column E is the average of cells F,G,H and when I update the numbers in F/G/H the background color is changed to the appropriate color, but column E does not change color!!! Example: The average (E) will start as a 90 and have a red background, then when the inputs(F/G/H) are changed and the average(E) now equals 30 but it is still shaded red! Is there anyway to have every cell updated, to make the cell change from Red to Green automatically??? Below is a copy of my code.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim WatchRange As Range
Dim CellVal As Integer
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
CellVal = Target
Set WatchRange = Range("E6:H15")
If Not Intersect(Target, WatchRange) Is Nothing Then
Select Case CellVal
Case Empty
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
Case 0 To 19
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
Case 20 To 39 ..........................
Is it possibe to change another cells color (Fill) based on what is placed in that cell? Example: A1 =if there is an "x" in A2 highlight A1 Green, but I have information in A1 also. Or if I had a different cell say= if there is an X in A1 Highlight A1 Green ect.. This key is to highlight a cell that I have information in based on a different cell having an X in it. If ther eis no X in the cell I have indicated, nothing needs to happen.
I have a sheet that a VLOOKUP is looking at, and what I need is, if that VLOOKUP finds what it is looking for I need it to look at the cell 2 cells to the left, how is that done?
Is there a way I can sum the result of a formula on a range of cells that meet a criteria? For example, I need to sum the difference of only the cells that are >46. (a1-46)+(b1-46)+(c1-46)...+(g1-46).
In this case the result I'm looking for is on row 2:
Is this possible to calculate in 1 cell only (h1)?
I have used the code for formatting: http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-cond...ting-limit.htm. This works fine when typing in the numbers manualy but if I have a formula (eg:A1=b1+c1) and a1 = 15 nothing happens. Is there an update button or a better way to do this?
The following code works perfect but the "change" event is only triggered when working directly on intersect range. Tried using the "calculation" event but could not figure it out. This is what I want:
1) To replace the code provided below using the calculation event 2) To only trigger the event for the row(s) where the new value was generated, not for the whole "For Each" statement 3) To use one single code for all worksheets, instead of copying the code in every working worksheet on the workbook, if feasible 4) And I would like a "second alternative", where the user of the workbook can click on a button and trigger the event on every row on the workbook that has a non empty cell within the intersect range, assuming that the intersect range column is the same for all worksheets
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim c As Range, d As Range, fc As Long, bc As Long, bf As Boolean Set d = Intersect(Range("I:I"), Target) If d Is Nothing Then Exit Sub For Each c In d Select Case UCase(c) Case "C" fc = 1: fb = True: bc = 4 Case "O" fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 3 Case "D" fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 46 Case "G" fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 5..................
When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.
When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.
I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.
I'm using windows xp and excel 2010. I have a very large sheet that has a bunch of highlighted cells. There all highlighted the same color. I need to remove the highlighting colors and change the font color of the highlighted cells to red.
How to colour cells depending on text in other cells, for example,
I would like cells D26:AA26 to turn light red if the letters 'FSM' are in cell 'E26' even if other text appears in it, eg 'SA+/FSM' I have been playing about with conditional formatting but can seem to solve the mixed text issue?
I created a simple auto numbering function whereby Cell A7 contained =Row()-6, and Cell A8 contained =(A7+1). I then shift, and pasted the contents of cell A8 until cell A600. My aim is to simply copy the increments of 1 - 600 into another column. However when i copy and paste i'm also copying the initial underlying formula ie: =( A?+1), Is there a way to copy the results, not the formula?
I have two conditions setup in Options>View - Zero Values.", "style="background: #FFFFFF;padding: 2px;font-size: 10px;width: 550px;"");' onmouseout='GAL_hidepopup();'>formatting.htm" target="_blank">conditional formatting. The first is setup for alternate row coloring with this formula inside Conditional Formatting:
Formula is = MOD(ROW(),2)
My Second Condition is
Cell Value is between $P$10 and $Q$10. This sets the font bold and a different color. The two cell values are two dates. I want to change the cells font color and bolding as long as the value is within that date range. It works fine, but for cells that are on the row that is colored the second condition doesn't apply for some reason.
I have a cells that are formatted for accounting with a formula in them.Whether the formula is evaluated or not, the £ sign still shows. Is there a way of only getting the £ sign to show only if the formula IS evaluated (i.e leaving a blank cell if the formula IS NOT evaluated)....
I have a table that automatically gets populated each month via VLOOKUP. There are about 14 columns and anywhere from 80 to 130 rows. At the bottom of each column I SUM the total for the column. Because I never know how many rows will get populated I have my VLOOKUP formula go down about 180 rows, then I SUM at the 183 row. But because the formula returns N/A on all of the rows that do not have data my SUM in row 184 returns N/A. This means the end-user has to go back in and delete all of the rows that have N/A. I don't want them to have to do this. Is there anyway to format the cells so that this does not happen?
I am trying to write a formula where the column header of the row in which a value other than 0 exists, will display for each instance (row) where a value exists in an array spanning 3 columns. So the result cell could be any of the three column headers, or a combination thereof.
I started the formula in P2 of the GL Detail-2012 tab. File attached.
Here is what I started: =INDEX($M$1:$O$1,SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF($M$2:$O$67756,))). Not working.
I am trying to conditionally format some data in cells A3:A6 (shade the cells) depending on whether a number in B1 is 1 (green), 2 or 3 (blue), or 4 (red).
I'm trying to analyse all of my bank statenments to see where all my money went!! I've got online banking so I thought it would be a relatively easy process of copying and pasting each month into excel.
Well, that in itself was easy, the problem is with the formatting of the financial numbers. Excel doesn't seem to recognise them as numbers, so at the moment I can't do any manipulation with the numbers. I have tried everything such as:
Format Cells > Number > Number and Currency Copy and Paste Special > Values only Copying into Notepad and back into Excel
Even if it appears to have changed the numbers to 'number' or 'currency' formatting by right justifying the numbers, if I try to add up the numbers using the SUM function, it doesn't want to know.
For some reason nothing seems to work - what am I missing?
For an example, I have attached a snippet of the spreadsheet with my starbucks transactions.
I have a production planning spreadsheet that is updated every week from a database to a new sheet. This sheet is 'Sheet1', last weeks update becomes 'Sheet2'. Every day people annotate and colour cells for various orders, depending on their place within the planning scheme. It's really only the formats that I need to copy across, I could use the VLOOKUP function for the values - So I suppose you could say I'm looking for a VLOOKUP macro/VBA Code which keeps the original formatting (cell colour etc.)
I'm having trouble figuring out how to evaluate the result of Conditional Formatting using VBA.
I've got a series of cells ( dates) that are formatted in BOLD when a corresponding cell elsewhere in my spreadsheet shows that the date is Actual and not Projected ("A" vs. "P").
The Conditional Formatting works fine, I just can't figure out how to get VBA to skip the cell if the value is not BOLD based on the Conditional Formatting result.
ex:
For Each i In Selection If i.FormatConditions(1).Formula1 = True Then 'OR i.FormatConditions(1).Font.Bold = True Then i.Copy i.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Else End If Next i
I have a formula that looks up a cell reference, if has a custom format to read "Days Left". If the result is zero or less i'd like it to show "Completed"
I have a formula that looks at a cell on a front sheet, and then returns the contents of that cell as the result if it meets the criteria. So for example this formula would be in Cell A1 on Sheet2 IF(SHEET1!A1,"New",Sheet1!A1,"-")
This formula is always in the same cell (different sheet) as the cell that it is looking at, down 1500 rows. Instead of having the formula named for each cell is there anyway to ask excel to 'look at this cell but on this other sheet'. e.g IF(Sheet1!"This Cell" etc). That way no matter what cell you put the formula in it is always referencing the correct cell for the formula?
I had a list of people on sheet1 of my workbook, and on sheet 2 a table with a list of names and their department.
I started off by wanting to use VLOOKUP within the conditional formatting feature of Excel to find anyone who worked in "finance" in sheet 2. I could get this formula to work on the sheet but as soon as I put it into the conditional format feature it wouldn't work.
Trying to find a work around I added a column in sheet 1 where I inputted the VLOOKUP formula and caused it to display "1" if the person worked in finance. It looked like this:
A: Person's name B: Value of 1 or 0
The idea was to hide column B and use conditional formatting to say "if column B2 = 1 colour column A2 blue". Now I could get this to work on a single row but couldn't make it work over a range, ie. "if cells A2:A150 have a 1 in the column next to them colour the relevent cell blue"
I feel I'm missing the obvious. I found quite a few answers online but non actually specified how to get the conditional formatting to recognise the relevent cell it should be looking at in a range.
1) How would I get conditional formatting working over a range
2) Whether it is possible to use VLOOKUP within the conditional formatting function of Excel.
I need conditional formatting formula that evaluates the values in a row of cells (7 total columns) and counts the number of entries that are 30 or greater. If there are at least three, then I need to apply formatting.
I have attached a small file with a very simple conditional formatting formula used to turn a block of cells green.
However, the formula does not seem to work properly as it only turns half of the cells green. Columns B1 to B18 are also supposed to turn green, but instead remain clear.
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....................
