I was just wondering how I can type in a different colour. I.e. I have a document and I want to type in random cells but I always want to be typing in red, or blue etc. Hoe can I change the default text color?
View 8 RepliesI have a button (shape) whose text value is linked to cell A1. (In other words, if text in cell A1 changes, the text on the button changes). A concatenation formula exists in cell A1 to "join" together a combination of text and cell values. The formula in A1 looks something like this:
="You have "&B10&" records that contain errors."
I'd like to set the font for the "&B10" portion to be a different color than the rest of the text string so that it stands out from the rest of the text. Obviously this can be done when the text is manually entered into a text box, but when using a formula to populate the text in the text box, it's all or nothing. I'm hoping to find a way to embed a separate font color within the formula string in A1 for just the portion I want to change? For example, all text would be regular/black, but the numeric value generated from cell B10 would be yellow.
Via conditional formatting, I am searching to change the color of a specific word in a cell (not the color of everything in the cell, but only that specific word - and the word repeats in the cell). A function such as =isnumber(search("NOK";A1)) colors all the cell values, which I do not want to do. How i can perform this task?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have font color white in blank cells in column E and I (from row 5 to row 245) so the visitors will not see the text. If any of these cells become yellow (color code is 6), the font color will become black so visitors can see the text alot far better than white. I've tried this code myself after this post but nothing happen
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am setting the fill color of a cell by setting the .Interior.Color property and using the RGB() VBA function. My VBA code saves the spreadsheet in Excel2003 format at the end of the creation process. This has worked great and my spreadsheets looked correct when reopened in Excel 2007. When these same spreadsheet files are opened in Excel 2003 the colors are all very different. Does Excel 2003 handle colors differently than Excel 2007? Is there a preferred way to specify colors that will work on both platforms?
I have attached a specific example. The color is #B4CF27 or RGB(180, 207, 39). When I open this sheet in Excel 2007 the color is a shade of green (the desired color). When I open it on Excel 2003 I get yellow. I tried swapping the red and blue values thinking there might be some byte ordering issue and it does not produce the yellow on Excel 2007.
try explaning this again....Also conditional formatting will not work...
Looking for a formula in excel to do this---
I have a lottery numbers system in the 3 digit and 4 digit
numbers...In row A we have the 3 digit that were drawn about
3000 ---3 digit numbers and in row C we have also 3000 numbers
for the 4 digit ....All we need to do is Highlight All the
even numbers and make them RED font---in the 3 and 4 digit rows...
Is there a way to do that?????
A--row-----C--row
123---------4429--make the 2red in the 3 digit row and 442red
in the 4 digit row.
033---------5579--nothing in this row
229---------2200---etc....
I would like to address this:
If cell in column1 is filled (.Interior.ColorIndex = 15) then font color is 0 in any cell of that row.
(right now the color is red and I cannot change this at the source but will have to add a sheet change event maybe)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to change the default color of any excel sheet I use to grey from the standard white and I am struggling to find out how this is achieved.
In other words, I am trying to have all cells in the sheets I work with appear grey on my screen by default. A coworker of mine used to work in banking and she has grey cells but does not know how she changed them.
I'm trying to change the default colour palette for "fill colour" and "font colour". The way I've been doing it before, is to have a spreadsheet with the colour palette I want in my XLSTART folder, and then when I open a new document, going to tools->options->color->copy colors from, and selecting that spreadsheet.
However, this is a pain, and I was wondering if I can just set the colour palette to have my colour scheme already there, whenever I create a new spreadsheet.
I'm trying to use Excel to keep team standings for a baseball board game. I had no problem calculating wining percentage. Finally figured out how to calculate 'games behind.' Now I'm wondering if there is a way to change the font color of a team name based on their wining pct?
A typical row contains: A2(Team Name), B2 (Wins), C2 (Losses), D2 (Pct (B2/(B2+C2)), E2 (GB). Is there a way to use the IF function to return the 'Team Name' in green if D2>.500, 'Team Name' in red if D2<.500, and 'Team Name' in black if D2=.500 ??
I am trying to figure out what the formula would be to change the font color if the entered number is less than the quota.
I'm making a spreadsheet for work that each of the reps will punch in their daily numbers, and, for example, if there quota was 70 and they are <70 than the font will turn red, and if greater or equal to 70 it will turn green.
I have the following formula:
=temp2!BN466&" / "&ROUND(F155/temp1!BN466,0)
Which gives me a result of 2 / 3
Is there anyway to change just the color of the first result? The "2" to red?
I cannot do it in the cell because of the 2 results being combined into 1 cell so I'm wondering if the formula can be modified to change the color of the 1st result.
macro that will change the cell color based on text? I have a list of titles in column B. Everytime the word 'Car' is found in this column, I would like to change the font color in columns C-G to the color white within the same row.

I have a user that was recently upgraded to Excel 2003. He has a problem when changing font color in a cell. Anytime he changes the color of the font to red and then clicks another cell the color reverts back to Black. Now when he clicks on the cell it displays the color red in the formula bar but no in the cell. it also displays the correct color in hte print preview screen. this happens no matter what Excel file he is wokring in.
