I need to change the colour of a cell using VBA based on the input of a certain word. I have used teh below code but it doesn't pick up different variations of the word
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("E2:E500")
If cell.Value = "Check" Then[code]....
This code works fine (i have put it into worksheet change) when I use "Check and Mark and Chase" but some users are bound not to use capitalised first letters and on these occasions the cell colours are not changing.
How to add something to thie code above to make it work for any variation of capitalisation?
how hard would it be to chane the background colour of a cell when a certain word is entered into it? so someone would type 'james' and press enter then the cell would turn red....would only be in a set cell range..
I've seen examples of VBA that will colour autoshapes based on cell values. I have a map of the UK made up of autoshapes that have been edited to create a shape of each postcode area such as EX, GL, NR etc. Also I have a list of all these postcode areas and I have given them a zone number (1-7) depending where in the UK they are.
PcodeZoneDH3DL3DN2DT1DY2E4EC4EH5
At the moment I have set the colours using the fill option so anything that is a particular zone is a certain colour (i.e. zone 2 is green).
What I would like to do is to set a zone to a colour, so the map will update all the zones with the right colours.
I need to be able to read the zone number that is assigned to a postcode area and change the relevant autoshape to the correct colour so that any postcode area can be one of 7 colours.
I can't attach a spreadsheet with my map and postcodes otherwise I would have.
Is there an easy way i can read the zone number of each postcode area in the list and update that autoshapes colour? Would the autshape need to have a name so it know which one to update or is this not possible?
I have found this code that, with changes, I can make work with the cells and columns I am using. What I cannot see is how to make more than one cell change colour rather than just the cell in column J.
How can I change the code below to change several cells in the row? I will be using cells in columns A:F.
Data will be entered into the rows from A2 to E2, in F2 a vlookup will enter one of the values, "High", "Medium" etc.
Each of these values has a colour assigned. The code below, with alterations, will be able to colour the cell in F2 depending on which value is entered. I need the whole row from A2 to F2 to be coloured.
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim ChangedRange As Range Dim r As Long, iCol As Long
Set ChangedRange = Intersect(Target, Columns("F:H"))
Green=if within the max min range [as specified by user] Amber=if the current value is less than the allowable slack level[again specified] red=if the current value is less than or more than the min or max respectively.
I am using Excel 2003, my problem is that I have cells D4 & E4 with red text, when an entry is made in B4 (say $640, the amount can vary) I want the text in D4 & E4 to turn black. I have attached a section of the document in question.
I am trying to change the colour of a cell based on the expiry date. I know I need to use conditional formatting but Im having trouble.
Colomn E from row 5 to 1200 have dates in them from as far back as 08/2013. I need to change the cells so they turn yellow after 28 days and red after 45.
E.g. 1. E953 has a date 07/09/2013, I need it to change colour as above, 28 days and 45 days. 2. E961 has a date 04/10/2013, I need it to change as above, 28 days and 45 days.
Can I formulate the entire E column so when I put a date in, the formula will automatically start.
All the other formula's I've seen involve starting from "today" or "now" .
I work for a UK charity and have a list of funders in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet.
One of the columns refers to the date on which a new application for funding can be made to that particular funder.
In many cases new applications for funding can't be made for 1 or more years since the last application - sometimes as many as 5 years later. How to get a cell to refer to the date that it contains.
For example, say I have in cell A1 "The Acme Funding Organisation" and in cell B1 (i.e. the "Reapply when?" column) a date of 01/04/2013 (British date format, i.e. 1 April 2013) then what I want Excel to do is to look at the date in cell B1 and if that date has been reached to highlight the cell red. That way I'll know that the reapply date has been reached & that a new application can be made.
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
I need to write a condition in such a way that cell IF A1= "DBR","BPR","SLR","SKR" then change cell B1 to SPECIFIC COLOUR Each condition different colour. A1 values ("DBR","BPR","SLR","SKR") is a list of selectable values. if the condition is falls then B1 should be normal (white color cell) with 0 in it.
I have a peice of code that i know is inefficient and it is in danger of becoming too large. I have a spreadsheet that has circles aligned to each cell. There are around 100 in total. The code changes the colour of the shape based on the cell value in which it sits. However, the code needs changing and also it does not automatically update the colour shape even though the cell value changes. I have to manually select a cell and then the formula bar and then press return for it to update.
I am using excel 2010.
This is the code i am using for each shape.
Code: If Range("n12").Value = text Then ActiveSheet.Shapes("Oval 250").Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255) End If
So I have been playing around with the tab colors on my workbook and am trying to figure out the correlation between color brightness and the auto change from black text to white text. I've noticed that if the Green color value is higher, excel is more likely to use the black text. If Blue is high, white. Green takes precedence over Blue and Red is just kind of in its own world.how excel calculates this?
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.
I need to see easily if my cell is giving a value by using a SUM. This is so I can see if the SUM has been taken off or overridden by typing in a number.
Qtn.1 - Do i use 'Conditional formating' under 'Format' to change colour of Check-box text when 'checked' I.e when ticked >> change colour of text to red
Qtn2 - If yes-, what's the syntax to put in 'Conditional formating' ?
I have a number of comment (all column D) that have lots of data in each one.
The data will appear like this (each new entry (new entry denoted by a date))
01-May 12:58:05 Liam 02-May 16:18:27 Josh 07-May 11:51:26 Bob 02-May 01:13:34 Terry
What i want to know is, can i change the colour of the text in the comment, if its todays date. So in this case 07-May 11:51:26 Bob goes red (its the 7th here for me).
I have an autoshape rectangle which is linked to a cell on my spreadsheet. This cell will auto update whenever i type a number into a different cell (match and index formula).
I want the colour of the rectangle to be green, amber. red or black depending the value my formula brings back. I have managed to do this but the colour does not automatically update. Also when the colour goes black i will need the font in the text box to be white, at all other tines it will be black.
I have a simple due date spread sheet for tasks that need completing at work. I am able to make the 'Due date' cell turn red when it is equal to or less than todays date, using conditional formatting. No problem.
I also have a 'Date closed' cell which is populated with a date when the task is complete.
What I am struggling to do however is change the red 'Due Date' cell to Grey once the 'Date Closed' cell is populated with a date. In fact I would like the whole row to be greyed out once the 'Date Closed' cell is populated.
I also have an 'Open / Closed' cell, which tells me if a task is open or closed, being chosen from a drop down I installed. Could this be used as an alternative to the 'Date Closed' cell. ie If someone selects 'Closed' in cell A4 the whole A row goes grey.
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?
