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 a budget worksheet that uses a spending forecast sheet to determine where the spending level for each budget code should be to the end of the current month. In other words, the Forecasted YTD To Month End fomula for each budget code in the budget worksheet is simply:
=SUM(Forecast!D8:F8)
Where column D is Jan, E is Feb, F is Mar etc in the forecast which distributes the budgeted amounts by month.
In each row on the budget sheet I want to evaluate today's date and if we're in March I want the formula to read as above but when we move to April I want it to use G as the end column in the range to sum.
SUMIF seems cumbersome in this circumstance and I wonder if a UDF might suit better.
I have a button and when I press it, it shows a tick so the user knows when it's been clicked I also want it to insert the date it was clicked but obviously if I use the =TODAY() formula it would change everyday. I need to keep it the same after each day.

When the workbook opens the user is asked to pick a date range and an office location. I've placed code into the userform that pre-fills the "start date" with today's date and the "end date" 7 days from today's date. I would like the user to be able to enter a unique date range should they wish but I have yet to figure out the coding to accomplish my goal.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo 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?

The macro then looks UP (A3, A2, A1 etc) cell by cell until it finds the first cell that has a valid date in it and if that date is same as the date that the macro is being run pastes "This Text" into the comments section (Not replacing everything in the comments but simply adding to it.)

I have 2 columns of figures. One column has a defined name of 'Estimated Value' and the other column 'Actual Value'
My IF statement should simply read "=If(Estimate>Actual,Text color RED, Text Color Black)
My attempts at finding the code for the True/False statements are legion and 'Conditional Formatting' does not appear to work
I am trying to make a cell change colour based on the partial content of another cell.
For example, cell A4 has a alpha-numeric sequence in it and I want cell B4 to turn blue if part of the sequence is ABD or F&C.
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' ?
how I format the IF function to change the colour of the text in a cell, I know how to use conditional formating but it wont do what I need it to.
The formula I'm using (See Below) only inserts the word "Red" or "Green" in the cell it does not change the colour of the text.
=IF(H6=A1,"green",))
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..

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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

I want to use a sheet for planning work tasks. I need to count how many cells containing 'x' text exist in rows starting with dates greater than or less than 'Today'

I have a spreadsheet with several freeforms. I would like them to change backgroundcolour, if the content in a cell is equal to another cell.
Basically I would like my shape "Freeform1" to change backgroundcolour to RGB (0, 180, 0) if Sheet1.Range ("A1") = Sheet2.Range("D3").
If it's not the same content in both cells, I would like the freeform to remain unchanged, that's RGB (79, 129, 189).
This should happend automaticly, so I don't have to click the shape to make it happen.

I have a list of users with the dates they first logged into a system and the date they last logged in. I'm trying to group them together into segments so I can analyse them using a Pivot table and chart to see how often different groups are using the system, e.g. New customers in December, November, October, etc.
The trouble I am having is trying to convert the different human-readable text strings into a consistent number of weeks from today's date, e.g.
USER FIRST LOGGED IN LAST LOGGED IN
user 1 2 years 20 weeks 54 sec ago
user 2 44 min 7 sec 1 min 37 sec ago
user 3 49 weeks 2 days 17 min 3 sec ago
user 4 5 weeks 2 days 33 min 32 sec ago
user 5 38 min 9 sec 38 min 9 sec ago
user 6 5 weeks 3 days 1 hour 7 min ago
user 7 2 hours 17 min 2 hours 11 min ago
user 8 45 seconds ago 45 seconds ago
Is there a formula I can use to convert these human readble text strings into a number of weeks elapsed since today's date?
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.
I am trying to create a sheet in XL 2010.
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.
