Excel 2007 :: Changing Bar Series Color To Adjacent Cell Font Color

Aug 8, 2012

I am trying to use VBA in Excel 2007 to change bar chart series colors. I have found a few posts that link it to a cell background, but I'm struggling to find one that does the font color.

It would be great if I could change the bar chart series to match the color of the text in the A column, so that if I highlighted the value in A1 and changed the text color to orange for whatever reason, the chart updates the value of 1.2 to an orange bar (see below).

T. A1 B1

Sample 1 1.2

Sample 2 2.1

Sample 3 1.7

Sample 4 5.6

Changing Font Color Linked To Date Key Through Macro?

Aug 19, 2014

I am looking to change the color of my text through a macro, which is fine. But I want to change the color according to a date key. So every time I update my date once a week, a new series is "blacked in". The series has the link already in it, I just need it to change color (to black) every time I update it.

Changing Font Color Based On Change From Previous Value

Jun 18, 2008

I want the order size to be colored red. If the most recent order is larger than the previous order, I want the order size to be colored blue. If the most recent order is the exact same size as the previous order, I want the order to be colored black.

How would I make code that would let me "remember" the previous order size and the most recent order size, and let me compare them to conditionally format the font?

Change Font Color Based On Adjacent Cell Color

Apr 18, 2008

I 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.

Changing Cell Color Based On Changing Values

This may have been answered on here but can not seem to find it. My situation is I have values in A1,A2 & A3 that are like counter reading so the value is always changing. What I am looking to do is change the cell color if one of the values is over 500 from the other two values. Say A1 is 3000, A2 is 3250 and A3 is 3500. I would like the cell for A3 to change color.

VLookup And Color Shading

Oct 9, 2007

I am cross referencing products between two sheets. They come with different product numbers and I have modified them to search for the important last 5 digits from tab 1 (image 1 column D) with the full 11 digits in tab 2 (image 2 column E). The tab for cross referencing is named Distribution vlookup. I have the following formula and cannot get it to work properly. I have used this formula before in another similar report, and have adjusted the tab/file names and fields but I must be missing something since everything comes up as unauthorized, yet I can ctrl+f and find matching items.

VLOOKUP Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP(D4,'Distribution vlookup'!$E$6:$E$133,1,FALSE))=TRUE,"Authorized","NotAuthorized")

Next, I wanted to nest a color coding on whether the item has sold in the last 12 months (image 2, column H). I cannot get that to work, so I tried to run a seperate column to identify selling status and cannot get that ot work either.

Sold in last 12 months formula:
=IF('Distribution vlookup'!H7>0,"Sold in last 12 mos","n/a")

Change Cell And Font Color Using VBA

Sep 4, 2008

This appears to be so simple, I've searched the forums and have found almost the right VB code but not quite.
I have a 3000 row spreadsheet with various columns.
Column M can either be PASS, FAIL, REJECTED, IN PROGRESS or NOT ASSESSED.
I need the rows (A to M inclusive) to change colour and text colour dependent on this condition.

I almost had an answer with Select.Case but I couldn't get the formula to work with text, only numbers.

Change Font Color If Another Cell Is Blank

Jan 18, 2008

I have a table - the first column is quantity, the others are descriptions, prices, etc.

I need to change the font of the other columns to white if the quantity cell is empty.

Jennifer Auto Merged Post;I'm still working on this, making baby steps. This is my code so far:

If Range("B26") = IsBlank Then
Range("C26:K26").Select
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 2
End If

It works for line 26. Can someone give me a hint about how to make it do the same things for lines 27 through 62? Without having 35 IF statements in my code?

Conditional Cell Locking Based On Font Color

May 26, 2009

Is it possible to write VBA code that will prevent a user from changing a cell's contents, depending on the cell's font color?

More specifically, I have a column of text in range B15:B64. Some of the cells will have a black font, others will be blue. Is it possible to lock the black font cells only, leaving the blue cells unlocked for users to change?

Conditional Formatting :: Change Font Color Of Cell

Mar 5, 2007

Cell B157 is changed by checkbox 1= TRUE, 0 = FALSE
Cell H1 and Cell H2 are percentages changed by the user.

Range(AI8:AQ8,AI12:AQ12,AI16:AQ16,AI20:AQ20, etc) each cell in the range contains a formula, and is protected from the user.

I need the contents of each cell in the range to change font color (independent of each other) when the formula of any of the cells within the range changes - to the following

If B157 = 1

Cells < H1 (a percentage changed by user), would turn Red
Cells > H1 but < H2 (a percentage changed by user) would turn Yellow
Cells > H2 would be Green

If B157 = 0

Cells < H1 (a percentage changed by user), would turn Green
Cells > H1 but < H2 (a percentage changed by user) would turn Yellow
Cells > H2 would be Red

I need it to fire whenever the value of one of the cells in the range changes.

I have tried If statements, Select Case, and a combination of both but just can't get it!

Extract Text In Single Cell Based On Font Color

Aug 5, 2008

I have a cell that has a formula in it like PREM + PRDCMP + ACQ + DLR in a spreadsheet that looks like this:

PREM PRDCMP ACQ DLR VIP COMM TOTAL
2 1 3 4 6 5

PREM + PRDCMP + ACQ + DLR 2 1 3 4 10

where PREM + PRDCMP + ACQ are colored red and + DLR is colored blue. This formula is entered in that particular cell as a text string. I have a formula in the PREM column that says if the word PREM is located in the formula to the left (and it is), then put the value that is located right under the PREM column (2) in the blank cell next to the formula. So, in the above example, I have an IF statement that sees that PREM is in the formula to the left and so underneath the PREM column, next to the formula, it would place the number 2. Now, I need Excel to detect if any word in the formula text string is colored blue and if it is, to put a zero in that column. So, in the formula above, if + DLR is the only text that is blue, I want to have Excel add 2 + 1 + 3 only. I want to have Excel take any string out that might be colored blue, such as + DLR and return the value of zero for it. The purpose of the different colors in the formula is to distinguish which information is relevant and which information should be ignored. So, I'd like Excel to read the above formula and say put the PREM amount in the cell under PREM, put the PRDCMP amount in the cell underneath PRDCMP, put the ACQ amount in a cell under ACQ and put zero in the DLR column since it is colored blue. If any of them (PREM, PRDCMP, ACQ, DLR, VIP or COMM) are colored blue, I want Excel to put a zero in that column.

Color Column Charts Based On Font Color Data Cells

Oct 27, 2009

I have attached the relevant spreadsheet for which I need to alter the color of the columns based on Site number ( Sheet 1). % Mortality will be represented in the Y-Axis, and the Site numbers would be on the X-Axis. All columns (% Mortality) except one will be of the same color, and the one of a different color will indicate a specific site. As an example, site 86 is colored differently. The way I require the chart to look is shown on Sheet 1.

After reading through some great posts on Ozgrid, I managed to do this using conditional formatting (Sheet 2), but that sort of falls short because I am required to add a data table to the chart, and the parameter that is indicated by the column bars happens to appear twice in the data table.

I was wondering if this can be automated maybe using VBA, but with the possibility of simply matching the color of columns with the font color of respective entry in the data series.

Conditional Formatting - Change Value Font Color In Cell Based On Matching Text?

Jun 26, 2013

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?
