Change Active Cell Color According To Name Above

Nov 1, 2007

Here is a screen shot of what I have:

I want to be able to enter the name from the above 4 cells (B3,B4,B5,B6) IN THAT COLUMN, and have the active cell change color accordingly.

If I am in cell C7 and start to type "PUBLIX" It should turn red in color. It does not because the code looks to a specific cell (example: B3). What can I change in my code to give the results I desire?

I have conditional formatting code below I copied from THIS site:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Multiple Conditional Format
Dim rng As Range
' Only look at single cell changes
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
' Adjust Format range to suit
Set rng = Range("B7:H74")
' Only look at that range
If Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
' Adjust conditions to suit
Select Case Target.Value
Case Range("B6").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 50 ' Green
Case Range("B5").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 3 ' Blue
' Case "Super"
' Target.Font.ColorIndex = 6 ' Yellow
Case Range("B4").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 13 ' Purple-ish
Case Range("B3").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 5 ' Red
' Case "Corporate"
' Target.Font.ColorIndex = 37 ' Light Blue
End Select
End Sub

Is there VBA code that will:

a) change the color of the active cell?

Change Active Cell Color

May 30, 2006

Found code on this site to change the color of the active cell. One problem and two questions. Code works, however, when you save and close the last active cell is stuck with the new color. Question1 is it possible to limit this code to cells in column B only and fix the problem above? Is there an easier better way to get the same result. See Attached

Change Fill Color. Offset From Active Cell

Dec 8, 2006

I am aware of the ColorIndex, but more specifically I need to change the fill color of a cell that is 9 columns to the right of the active cell. I can't find out how to make this work. to clarify:

ActiveCell + 9 columns.Interior.ColorIndex = Yellow

There has got to be an easy way to do this.

Change Color Of Active Row

Jan 26, 2008

I found Change Color Of Row When Cell Is Selected ("search" is my friend).

StephenR's example is just the sort of thing I want, except I'd like it to ignore Cells that already have an Interior colour, or revert the Cells to their original Interior colour when you move on. The other issue I see would be how could you change/edit a Cells fill properties, without this routine changing it back to white when you move on?

Change Font Color Based On Adjacent Cell Color

Apr 18, 2008

I 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.

Display Active Cell Color - No VBA

Apr 16, 2012

Am trying to return the color index of any cell my formula is in, with no VBA

Am using the FILLCOLOR function below....

Public Function FILLCOLOR(cell) As Variant
Application.Volatile True
FILLCOLOR = cell.Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex
End Function

.... and wanting to combine it with Cell("address")

However, all I get is an error which I believe comes from Cell("address") returning "$A$1" (in quotes) and not $A$1 (no quotes).

Color Banding To Locate Active Cell

Mar 24, 2006

I used the method described here:

The problem is that it seems only to work on the computer on which I made the sheet. This should mean that it is somehow dependent on some local settings. Does anybody know what settings, or whether it is something else that may be the cause?

Change Active Cell Value On The Fly

May 28, 2008

I need to input a long list of steel sections in Excel. The steel sections have names like HEA200, HEA120, HEB 400, HEM300 etc.

I was thinking that this could be done easier by using codes for the section prefixes (HEA,HEB, HEM etc) and that the cell value would change automatically.

HEA=1
HEB=2
HEM=3
HD=4
UNP=5
etc.

For example:

I input "1100" - this would change on the fly to HEA100
I input "2200" - this would change on the fly to HEB200
I input "5200" - this would change on the fly to UNP200

I know I could do this by using a lookup function in another cell, but I want it all to happen in the same cell.

Macro / Change To Run On Active Cell Instead Of Whole Page

Apr 24, 2013

I am still kind of new to using VBA code and my editing skills are very novice at the moment.

How would I change this Code to run on only the active cell selected and that is all, instead of the whole page?

Sub AddIFERROR()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim xCell As Range
Dim xFormula As String
For Each xCell In Selection
If xCell.HasFormula Then
xFormula = Right(xCell.Formula, Len(xCell.Formula) - 1)
xCell.Formula = "=IFERROR(" & xFormula & ","""")"

Change The Color Of Cell

Dec 14, 2009

I am having some color problems. From A2:AB2000 I have different fill colors for cells all over the place. The only color I need is the color purple which I believe is the color “39”.

So basically all cells except the cells with the color purple change to white from A2:AB2000. I would like to add this code to the macro I have already created.

Change Row Color On Cell Value?

Nov 22, 2012

I'm trying to put together a script which changes the color of the row in columns A:AE if any cell in the Range B7:B400 has the value of 'No'. If it has the value of 'Yes' I would like it to Exit Sub.

I've put together the code below to try an create this function, but I'm running into a few problems.

Code:
If Intersect(Target, Range("B7:B400")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target "No" Then[code]....

When the value of any cell in Range B7:B400 is 'Yes' the row changes to grey, if I enter 'No' it removes all cell shading from the row, and I'm not very clear on what changes I need to make.

So if I wanted to cancel a certain row of data I would click on a button, enter the range of cells to cancel and then this would turn all of the writing in the cells to red colour with a strike through the words.
