Change The BG Colour Of A Cell When Selected
Nov 3, 2008
I have 5 cells in the same row (C20:G20)
When i click on one of them i want it to either change the background of the selected cell or the background of the cell below it.
EG if i click on C20 either C20 or D20 the highlight black and change the text colour to white, or just change the background to grey.
i thought it might be something like Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6
i tried this>
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells = C20 Then
Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6
End If
End Sub

I dont have that great knowledge in Excel but i wanted to try and run a
macro in an IF formula but realised that was not possible. I have now got a
formula that gives a value in a cell when i want the whole row to turn to
red, but im not sure how i can get a macro that will change the whole row to
red when that cell shows a value. Can anyone help on this matter?

If A1 contains 'good' then row A = red
I need an entire row to change colour if a particular cell in that row contains one particular word.

I would like to have the colour of a cell change within a spreadsheet anytime that a change has been made. I have used the worksheet_change function to change any text that has changed in a cell, however I would like to have the actual cell colour change if someone deletes anything from that cell. I figured that I could use the worksheet_change function for that as well however it is not working.

Trying to have this embedded in the worksheet private sub change section. I want it to change the value of these ranges when the target has a value in it. I'm getting an error though:
If Target.Address = "$E$27" Then
If Target.Value "" Then
Range("I25:J26,P25:P26,R25:S26").Interior.ColorIndex = White
Else
Range("H25:V31").Interior.ColorIndex = 15
End If
End If

I've found a great thread that answered part of my problem (Change colour of text on update of cell)
This code changes the colour of a cell when selected. With the application I'm trying to make I need this effect to only occur in a certain area say A10:D30
I'm trying to make a scheduling page that uses timebars to represent when people are working. I though if a user could click or highlight the hours and a time bar produced I could lookup to see what hour the timebar starts and ends and show the hours worked. I also need it to cycle through 5 different colours before returning to white.
Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range)
target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
End Sub

Is there any way to change the border color of a cell by running a subroutine? Here is my example:
Col 1
Col 2
1
2
3
4
I have an existing table with data that is updated daily ... more rows are added. Currently, the cell border is black. I would like to run a macro such that the column header is shaded grey and the borders turn into a shade of gray. I am interested in the 35% grey.

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.

I want to change the colour in a cell depending on the sum of two other cells.
ie
A3=1,B3=1
A4=2,B4=1
A5=1,B5=0
A6=2,B6=4
So i want if
A3+B3>2 THEN C3 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
A4+B4>2 THEN C4 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
A5+B5>2 THEN C5 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
A6+B6>2 THEN C6 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
SO IN THE END ONLY C4 AND C6 WILL HAVE GREEN COLOUR.
Is there any formula to do so with conditional formatting?

Is there any way to change the pattern color of a cell (or a group of non-adjacent cells), say from No Color into Red if the cell(s) protection is locked (or unlocked)? Seems to me that the Conditional Formatting cannot work this way.

How to a change a cell colour to say red in B6 if cell b12 = 1 and if e6 = 1 to change to green. I thought I might be able to use conditional formatiing but no. I had set the spread sheet to do a cell just for a condition representing a sum from another worksheet and it was working fine but i have to incorporate the two together and am stock.
I have attached a spread sheet.

I have the below code that changes the colour of a cell to green if the figure increases, and to red if it decreases.
The issue is that it works fine if you manually change the figure in A1 or A2 by entering the figure and hitting enter. If the cell figure changes in A1 by any other means such as RTD or say a value in C1 "=C1" then the colour change is not triggered.
Code:
Public oldval, myval
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A2")) Is Nothing Then
oldval = myval
If Target.Value > oldval Then
Range("A" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 4
[Code] .......

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"))
[Code] ......

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 trying to setup a monthly calendar.
What I want to do is have it so that if you type "apples I want some", the cell changes colour to green, and also the apples doesnt appear in the cell. So when you press enter, all you will see is a green cell that says "I want some"
I was wondering if there was a way in VB within the worksheet to make this happen?

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",))
