I need to have the color of cell A2 change when I enter an asterisk in cell A1 to denote a critical dimension on an inspection form.
I used conditional formatting to change cell A1 orange when an asterisk is entered. Is there a way to tell cell A2 to look and see if there is an asterisk in A1 and if so change it's color?
VBA macro to change the color of a cell automatically for a specific period of time -say 5 minutes, based on the value the subject cell holds at that time. The cell value is not manually entered but comes from a sub.
There will be hundreds of such cells so that the macro must be able to be repeated for other cells utilizing their individual cell values as well.
I'm trying to create a spreadsheet with columns a, b, c, and d. "a" always has a value and I want columns c and d to change to a's color when they are given values. if "b" has a value when the data for c and d is entered, i want them to take b's color instead. The part I don't know how to do is that if i decide to give "b" a value, I don't want "c" or "d" to change colors if they already have values. e.g. if only a has a value when i give one to c, c will take a's color, but then if i give b a value then d, i want d to take b's color and c to retain a's color.

I need to put * and in that field appear word from above and to change field color to one of three presented colors depend in which row * is inserted.
All other fields need to be empty and white, like on second picture.
I know that is little If...Then, but I don't have so much knowledge.
I would like the cell to be red if the value is below 1.5. If the value is 1.5 or greater, I would like for that cell to turn green.

View 7 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 have various row cells in column (F) filled with the color Green. And corresponding text in Column G. How can I change the text of that particular row to white.
i.e.: if any cell in column F is Green, change the text color of that row in Column G to white?
Not sure if I can do this with a formula or not. looking to change the value of a cell when using a column. Im looking to have the cell to change each time after there is a new value entered in the column but only when a value is entered in new cell of the column.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need a script that changes a cell to say closed (uses a drop box) when a date is entered into the date column. I have attached a workbook with the basic options, obviously there will be a lot more columns and information in the original workbook and I will adding the code to at least 2 worksheets.
However to give a basic understanding if I have a drop box in column A with the options Active, Inactive and Closed. When I enter a date in Column B (headed Closed Date) I want Column A to change the option to Closed automatically.
I want to incoroprate into my Workbook a sheet with a list of phone numbers, that sheet can be added to and more numbers entered if necessary and will be called "DATA"
The questions is this. If one of those numbers in the "DATA" sheet is entered in any other sheet in the workbook can the cell that number has been written on (not the one on the data sheet) be made to change colour?
I am using Excel 2003 at work.
New cases are entered on to the spreadsheet. The case remains open until a closure date is entered, at which point the case is closed. What I need is the following:
Cell A3 = should say "Open" if there is no value in cell Y3
Cell A3 = should say "Closed" if a date or any value is entered in cell Y3. Ideally it should only say "Closed" if a date is entered in format xx/xx/xx, but am flexible so that it says "Closed" if any data is input.
At the moment Cell A1 has a drop down list consisting of open and closed. I will remove this if it causes complication.
if a macro or private macro is necessary, I would need basic instruction how to use those as well (I mentioned private macro as I understand they automatically run whenever worksheet info is changed, which I would like in this example.)
I'm simply trying to change fonts in cells based on the inputs of other cells. Obviously, using conditional formatting doesn't allow for this.
For my example, assume the word "MrExcel" is in cells D2, F2, H2, J2, L2, N2, P2 and R2. If I type different font names (Times New Roman, Arial, Bookman, etc.) in the cells to the immediate right of each word "MrExcel," -- cells E2, G2, I2, K2, M2, O2, Q2 and S2 -- I would like the "MrExcel" word in each corresponding cell changed to the corresponding font to the right. I would like the ability to do this for up to 15 different fonts. There will be many rows to this worksheet I need to use this process for.
Is this possible? I'm in a bit of a jam and have exhausted my knowledge of formulas in that they won't work in this case ... I'm assuming I need to delve into the unknown land (to me) of macros, private macros, or VBA.
I 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?
What formula do i use if i want the text in cell A1 to change to red if any entry is made in cell B1.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.
I've got some spread sheets that I send out. People fill them out and send them back to me. The only problem is that I dont know which cells they've changed and which cells they've left. Is thier a way to tell VB to change the color of a cell if the value has changed

When I click on a button I would like an option to cancel a row range of cells by turning the writing red with a cross through it.
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.

I want to be able to change a color of a row to purple if a cell is greater than 5 days
so basically what i need is something like this

I 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 do. I have 2 columns, both have empty cells with borders. I would like to make it so that when the user clicks one of the cells, it turns grey and the one beside it turns white. I set up two macros as follows:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI ran a quick code to see if this would work. it did at first then stopped.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal target As Range)
tcol = target.Column
trow = target.Row
If Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = -4142 Then Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
If Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = 8 Then Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = -4142
MsgBox trow & " " & tcol & " " & Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex
End Sub
In short I am trying to toggle between color/no color when a cell is selected. I got the -4142 from using the MsgBox to determine the value. Should I be approaching this differently?
