Is there a way to combine cells in excel and chage the color of part of it?
Example: On my sheet I have multiple cells I need to combine:
Say A1 reads 23.65
Say A2 reads 43.65
Now on A3 I want it to read "Estimated budget 23.65 vs 43.65"
I can get this to work but here is the problem, I want the 23.65 to always be red and bolded and the 43.65 to always be blue and bolded.
creating a macro. I would like the background color of certain cells under column A (cells 12:25, 27:32, 34:38, 40:45, 47:51, 53:61, 63:70, 72:79, 81:88, 90:92) to change to the color green and display the text "Complete" on mouseclick.
Before the cell is clicked, it would be the color red, with no text. (I'm not sure if you need to know that).
Next, I would need a macro that resets everything back to red. I hope this macro could be assigned to a form button.
I 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?
I have two columns, Brief Descriptions and Detailed Descriptions. In many cases they are different and I combine the two for one longer description; however in certain instances the two columns read the same. Is there was way to combine the two cells where any repeat text is only expressed once?

For example:
Old: I can not figure 3 things out.

I am setting up a new chart of accounts, with the format xxx-yyyy, where xxx is a three digit department number, and yyyy is the expense account. I am building a spreadsheet to populate the new chart of accounts to be uploaded into our accounting software. I would like to have a cell that takes the xxx from one cell, adds a hyphen, and combines it with the yyyy value. The result would be xxx-yyyy format.

The VBA code for changing text color is:

I am having a hard time figuring how to change the color of all the different text groups in a chart, header, axis, labels etc, and even the macro recorder has failed me this time - I have recorded the following, where I selected the graph, changed textcolor to white and then ended the recording - but without changing anything in the code, it returns an error on the second line (starting with "with"):

I’d like to be able to highlight ONLY the text as shown below based on the look up column. Conditional Formatting will highlight the whole cell, which is not what I want. Is this possible ?

What is the formula ?
In Excel 2007 I know that if you have a cell containing text that you can change the color of parts of that text like This is the text in my cell and this is red text
But I have a cell with a formula that adds text to the end based on a conditional. I can't see any way to change the text color in this situation. I basically want this formula:
=D_Notes & TEXT(CHAR(10),) & IF(Terms = "Budgetary Estimate Only", "Quote is budgetary only and is subject to change pending final design.","")
I 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.
I am working on a code in which i have to change the color of certain cells if the value of a cell is Y/N. The color should change with the user input.
Set wsheet = wbook.Worksheets("XYZ")
For Row_start=10 to Row_count 'Row count is the last used row in the worksheet
RowValue = ActiveCell.Row
colValue = ActiveCell.Column
if colValue = 17
[Code] ....
when I execute this code on the selected cells, it completely ignores my selection, and makes the entire worksheet black.
Sub ColorCells()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Value = "U" Then
cells.Interior.Color = 3
I am trying to change the color in Range("A1:bb5000") for each worksheet unless it is protected.
Here is my code
Sub Color_Sheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Activate
Range("A1:bb5000").Select
If Item.Locked = False Then
With Selection.Interior
I have been given a spreadsheet that turns whole rows different colours when certain data is entered into a cell. I want to locate the code and use it elsewhere, but cant find it?
I have looked at all of the change related procedures in the drop downs, for the Workbook e.g.
Workbook_SheetChange
but no matter where I cant seem to find any code at all.
Is there a way of exporting every line of code and then open this file in notepad to skim through it?
how I might find the code that is making the rows turn different colours?
I am wanting to change the background of a cell to red if the cell is blank - Basically this is to highlight in a form any missed important areas...

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possibe to change another cells color (Fill) based on what is placed in that cell? Example: A1 =if there is an "x" in A2 highlight A1 Green, but I have information in A1 also. Or if I had a different cell say= if there is an X in A1 Highlight A1 Green ect.. This key is to highlight a cell that I have information in based on a different cell having an X in it. If ther eis no X in the cell I have indicated, nothing needs to happen.

And when the sum of these three cells does equal I7 their color should change to green. I recorded two macros to change the colors and I've run them to verify they work. But I've got something off in my simple macro below.
[Code] .....
Macro is not working .So the macro I am using is supposed to look back at all the months tab, match the Name from previous tabs and if they match change background color of the active sheet's cell to red.
Right now the macro is only able to lookup the name in the previous tab (i.e. For December it will only lookup November tab and not October-January).
e.g. (Candidate name is Jack King and he is in (october's tab, Column A Cell 2 )
I want this candidate name to turn red once I type his name in November/December tab.

I'm using some basic code below in an on Workbook Open event to format cells with a value less then 2 and less than 1 with a particular color.
The code works, but it really slows my worksheet down when opening. Is there better way to write this?

Dim myRange As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set myRange = Range("V6:V50000")
For Each cell In myRange

I have a large workbook with some tasks.
My problem is:
I have 8 columns with info.
In the second column i type a part number and in the third one i type "Yes" or "No".
I wanted to make the second columns cell turn red if the third column's value is Yes or white if the value is No.
Is possible to do that with the help of a formula, conditional formating or vba?
I prefer to use a formula or the conditional formating.
I searched the net but i found a solution if the third column contains a number not a text.
I have column "C", starting from "C5" with dates till C200, but not all cells have dates some of them are also blank.
I want the cell to change color depending on the date.
If the written due date is in a month from today, I want it to turn yellow, and if the due date is in the past from today, I wanted to turn red. I want it to get updated every month.
how to clear contents and change colour index of cells.
This is for a booking system. The current VB codes allows bookings to be made by entering a reference number, dates of bookings and room type and bed type. When the VB codes are executed, the cells corresponding to the details entered earlier, would fill the booking table with the reference number and change the colour fill (e.g. yellow) to indicate that the slots are booked. Please refer to attached sample.
However, I do not know how to delete the booking. I would like to assign a cell for user to enter the reference number that needs to be deleted. So when the reference number is entered into that cell, user could execute a function which will clear the contents and change the colour index to none for that particular booking with that reference number(s).
Attached is a sample of the problem.
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?
