2000 - Autofilter, The Drop-down Arrow Turns Blue In Color
Feb 10, 2010When using the autofilter, the drop-down arrow turns blue in color, i.e., when some filter citerion is being used, the small down-arrow turns a different color as a way of informing the user that a filter is in place. Is there a way to control the color of this? Currently, mine turns blue, but it would be more useful if I could change it to a brilliant color in order to make it contrast more with the default black. Blue is too difficult to be distinguished by my eyes. The autofilter is turned on via a macro. If there a line of code that controls the color.

Pivots - No Drop Down Arrows
Jun 8, 2007I have been sent a spreadsheet with data in it that is from a Pivot table.
The headings look like the ones in the Pivot table the only difference is
there are no drop down arrows to show/hide items
I cant click and drag fields to swap them.
So it looks like a Pivot but I cant manipulate it.
Validation Lists And Drop Down Arrows
Aug 26, 2006From the Excel Toolbar - Data/Validation - I'm successfully using a validation list [drop down arrow] to be able to choose from a list and have whatever value I choose entered into the cell. So far so good. Everything working fine.
Here's the thing though, the list I'm referencing is a column with 50 rows. Sometimes there are many items in the column - up to 50, and sometimes only 3 items depending on other variables in the spreadsheet.
Because the list is referencing the entire 50 rows in the column (only way I know how to do it), during times when the column has only 3 items (3 rows), the drop down still shows a bunch of blank spaces (like 47 of them - tons of white space with a scroll bar window that runs down beyond where one can see), which is awkward (strange looking).
How do I program the validation list to only show as many cells within a range that have actual values within the cell, or where <> "" ? Or, in other words, to leave all blank spaces found in the list = NOT SHOWN.
Change The Cell Color On Drop Down Change
Jun 3, 2008I have a drop down sub pasted to worksheet:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
ComboBox1.List = Array(100, 200, 300, 400)
If Range("I11").Value < Range("N11").Value Then
If Sheets("Profile").Range("K18").Value < ComboBox1.Value Then
Range("I11").Interior.ColorIndex = 2
Else
Range("I11").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End If
End Sub
I want it to change the cell color on drop down change. How can I modify things to have the change in drop down selection?
Change Row Color Based On Drop Down Selection?
Apr 2, 2013How do I change the color of a row, based on the users selection from a drop down box in that row? I have four driving types in my drop down , Towing - Town Driving - All highway - Mixed. I would like each driving type, if selected, to change the color of the entire Row of Data to a different color. I have been able to use conditional formating to change the drop down cell itself, but that is it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedChange Range Format & Color Based On Result Of Drop-Down Choice
Jul 6, 2009I'm using Excel 2007.
I have a field with a "YES"/"NO" drop-down box. There are three fields below which have some default formatting (thick purple dot-dot-dash borders). When the drop-down field is "YES", those three fields should change borders to a single thin black bottom border line.
OK... so that's the setup. And I should note here that it does in fact format properly. However, the problem I'm having is that the screen does not update / repaint with the new formatting. The thick purple dot-dot-dash borders remain, for the most part.
If I page down, then page back up, the new formatting appears just fine. When I switch from "YES" to "NO", again, the formatting changes, but the screen does not update/repaint so the only way to see the new formatting is to again... page up and then page down again.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to force the screen to repaint/update so that my users will see the new formatting without having to page up/down.
Selecting Autofilter Criteria From A Drop Down Menu
Jun 8, 2009I am trying to create a macro that will run autofilter on another sheet when I select a number from a drop down menu, with that number being the autofilter criteria. I have tried the following code but it changes sheets before I can select the entry from the drop down menu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDetect When Autofilter Drop-down Selection Made
Oct 6, 2009Is it possible to detect when a auto-filter selection has been made ? Is that when an autofilter hides rows, the activecell could become hidden, which potentially may cause errant data entry, not knowing what cell is receiving entry as it is hidden from view.
if the worksheet contains a change event that autosizes the target row, it unhides the filtered hidden row in the process. I could say if target is hidden ignore autosize, but i would prefer to activate a visible cell (first visible cell for filtered column) on selection of autofilter.

Make Autofilter React Based Upon Selection In Drop Box...
Nov 14, 2008I have a pricing model I'm working on where the request is to have all of the line/part items in the model, but only display a subset of those items based upon a sub-line chosen by the user by a drop box that includes all sub-lines.
Right now the list of parts is a table that I'm querying that also includes a simple '1' or '0' to indicate whether every part is an element of one or many sub-lines; eg (sorry, sure this won't format right):
Item SubA SubB SubC
210-1010 1 1 0
210-1011 1 0 1
So if choosing SubB in the drop box, I need the autofilter to show the first part, but not the second one. I think I have to do it this way (autofilter) because it will retain all of the parts whether the user is looking at them at this moment or not; they will use this tool to perhaps first price all SubB items, *then* go select SubC and price all of *those* items - and it needs to retain everything they've done, rather than a dynamic query that would lose prior changes and pull in a whole new set of data (if that makes sense).
So.... I need my autofilter to react not to specifically choosing data on the autofilter itself, but to a choice made in the drop box (probably a macro/VB attached to the box that reacts to the linked cell value that results from the choice, but I don't know how to tell it if the linked cell value is '5', go to column 7 (first two are part number and description) in the autofilter and filter on that column.
Autofilter With Color Cells
Jun 24, 2009I know there's no way of autofiltering colors with Excel 2003 but it can use function in VBA to identify the colors like 3 for red, 6 for yellow and so on.

Also with the codes I've put in VBA gave out strange numbers on blank cell which I don't want these awkard numbers to appear after typing in =GetInteriorColorIndex(whatever the cell I type in).
Row Color To Automatically Change To Blue (color 5) (bgcolor = #0000FF)
Oct 22, 2009In 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.

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.

Automatically Re-apply AutoFilter When Any Change
Jul 17, 2009I'm working on an excel sheet to display technical problems in an office. I want to use a filter in order to not display problems that were resolved (by applying a filter to show only "0" on the "problem duration" column that displays "hours problem was up after solved" and "0" if not solved) as the point is to display only non-resolved issues.
I wanted this filter to be re-applied constantly, meaning once I fill the time and date it's solved and the formula calculates the time it was up, this row will automatically vanish due to the filter applied.
I found this thread on your site Refresh Autofilter Automatically from the resolved problems so we need to remove the filters once in awhile. With this after the filter is removed, you cannot setup a new filter at all (it just doesn't seem to allow you, erasing it after it is being applied). I need to not only be able to setup a new filter, but also that this new filter will be reapplied automatically all the time (temporary disable of a filter is also an option, but I do not know whether it's possible).
I do have Excel 2007 on Vista, but I also need this to work on Excel 2003 with XP.

Aug 2, 2007I have 18 drop down lists that are identical and named DropDown1, DropDown2, DropDown3, etc. Each one references cells (cell link) E1, E2, E3, etc respectively in another worksheet Lookup that is hidden. I am trying to write up some code that when the user selects any drop down, depending on which one it is, it passes certain values to another Sub which has cases. I got my first ideas from an old thread Drop Down List Box but there were no variables being passed.
My code originally worked with one variable being passed (x), but now I am trying to pass 2 (x and nrow) and I get an error in the Sub DropDown1_Change(): ByRef argument type mismatch. Below is my coding, I only included a few drop downs for this example. The Cases are based on the cell link (ie Case 2 is when the cell link shows '2' in the Lookup sheet) I only used a message box for testing purposes. I will have to do some other stuff but I need these variables passed first before I can continue
Public x, nrow As Integer
Sub DropDown1_Change()
x = 1
nrow = 2
Call get_surcharge(x, nrow) 'this is where I get the error
End Sub
Sub DropDown2_Change()
x = 2
nrow = 3
Call get_surcharge(x, nrow)
End Sub............
