Changing Bar Color In Chart Based On Value?
Dec 14, 2012
I have a quarterly report that measures the safety performance of the plants in our company using bar charts. One set of 4 charts for the company as a whole and four additional sets of four for each of our divisions for a total of 20 charts.
I would like to change the color of the bars based on whether the location has met (bars colored green) or failed to meet (bars colored red) the goal for that criteria. The company average will be a yellow bar. Of course it can be done manually but that is really slow and tedious.
Is there a way, using VBA or a macro, to change the color of a bar (data point) based on the value of that data point? Can it run through all of the data points in each chart and make those changes based on criteria that I can set for each type of chart?

I'm trying to create a simplified Gantt chart of sorts, and cannot figure out one piece of it. I'm not sure how to write out exactly what I need, but here goes.
I would like to have a formula that looks at the percent completed (which the user inputs) and multiplies it by the total duration for the task to give a total number of days completed. Then, under the corresponding dates, the color of the cell would change. I've attached a simplified version of what I'm talking about.
On the attached spreadsheet, the total duration (D2) is 5 days and the percent completed (C2) is 40%. This calculates to 2 days. With that said, I would like the cells under the first 2 days under the listed dates (E2 and F2) to change color. When the percentage complete reaches 60%, then G2 would change color, when it reaches 80%, then H2 would change, and when it reaches 100%, then I2 would change.
My guess is that the formula will need to result in a particular value, and then I'll use Conditional Formatting to do the actual changing of the cell color. Assuming this is correct, I still don't know what formula to use to accomplish this.

I have data. 2 columns a2:b5
each row has a different font color
apple 4
banana 3
peach 2
pear 1
I want the label in a chart to march the font color of the source cell
So in a chart I'd have 4 labels:
"apple"
"banana"
"peach"
"pear"
I can't see how to do it. When i select the albels it's "all or none". I can change ll the labels to a color. But, I want each individual label to be a diferent color.

I am trying to create a chart that will show each month of the year's workload based on orders due for each month. I have all of the information needed on a spreadsheet to chart this into a simple chart showing the load, however, I want a little extra on the charting to show me additional details.
I would like for my chart to also display the available man hours for each month against the workload. I would like for the available man hours to be displayed by color changes in each month bar column of the graph.
So if I had 1000 hours of work in the month of April and only 960 man hours available in April it would have shown me throughout the month as the chart grew that I was "Green" for all hours below 860. The as the chart grew past 860 that portionof the chart changed to "Orange" telling me that the hours were soon to be full. Once it reached 960 that part of the chart would turn "Red" as an indication that we have more workload than we can complete for that month. This would be useful for me as an overtime tool, as well as for review for additional man hours or a decrease in man hours.

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.

I wrote a macro to color the cell values in the rows based on their average value. For eg if the cell value is less than 0.2 Avg, they should be red color,if value is between 0.2 and 0.5 it should be yellow. This part is working fine
Now based on the color of the rows cells , need to write a macro for the header one. Logic is Coloum header should be in red colour, if in one or more number of rows cells are red. same with yellow ones. Could you please help me out in solving this with logic.

I think looking at the attachment might make more sense, but here is a brief description of what I want to do. I am trying to change the colour of a cell based on looking up the value contained in that cell in a predefined list (which in my example I have called a legend). I need to do this in VBa but my VBA is not at all good.

I have created a gradebook template so that I can keep track of my assignments as I get them and keep on top of my grades. Any way that I can code excel to work so that if my current average in the class ever drops below 70%, I want the color of the text to change to red to alert me that the grade is too low and needs to come up. I'm new to using VBA in excel and not sure how to do it or what to code.

I am using Excel 2010 and trying to change/edit the color of the tabs in my workbook to turn green or red based on a y or n placed in a cell (the same cell on each tab). I have tried variations on several themes others have asked about as well for Excel 2007 and attempted to adapt them to fit my situation but none seem to work. Here's what I was starting with:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Range("A1").Value
Case Is < 2.5
Sheet1.Tab.Color = vbRed
Case Is > 2. 5, Is < 4
Sheet1.Tab.Color = vbGreen
End Select
End Sub
The cell I'm using is F2 and my cell value is simply y or n. I realize the example above references numeric values and greater than/less than options, but I'm not sure how to correct this for my need.

i have had to change the quarters that our company works in and in doing so have to make some changes to my VBA code. our quarters have moved back 1 month so Q1 = Dec/Jan Feb now.
below is a copy of the code that used to make the associated cell font color red depending on the current date. i need to change it to be relevant to the new quarter structure.
[Code] .....
As you can see if the month value is less than 4 (jan/feb/march) it will highlight red....however i dont know how to change the range to specifiy the ranges 12,1,2 as per the new quarter structure.

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?

I currently have a simply bar chart that is based on a running 5 days figure so the X-axis is like 01-Mar 02-Mar 03-Mar ...
Y-Axis is the data that I am trying to present - Total $
The source of this data is simply two columns - Column A is the running date, Column B will be data.
Daily I need to only present 5 days historical data based on the latest date i.e. today and the past four days (the source data is updated daily).
Can a macro be used to auto update the bar charts based on today's date?

I would like to automatically color fill a series of rows based on like information from a single column. When the information in the column changes then the rows would either stop filling (this would be best) or fill with a different color until the information changes again.
Summary: series of alternating rows would either be filled or unfilled based on changes from the column information.
Hope this isn't too confusing. Below is an example except I would want the cells filled, not the text or numbers to change. The highlight is changing based on the changing of the numbers.
ABCD 12345
ABD 12345
ABCD 12349
ABDF 12349
ABCD 12358
ABF 12358

I have a spreadsheet that uses VB macros to calculate sums of cells based on the font color of the numbers inside. It used to be fairly easy going through each cell and "classifying" them by color, so that my macros can go ahead and sum the numbers in each respective color's cell... but now I have a huge amount of numbers and would like to automate the process somewhat. Here's an example using the A and B columns:
flight $400
hotel $150
hotel $130
meal $20
meal $15
flight $350
I tried using conditional formatting to automatically change the color of the adjacent cells based on the presence of a keyword such as "flight" or "hotel", but this change is only cosmetic, and doesn't actually change the font color (it is still the default black, hence why my color-summing macros won't work!).
I'm including a sample macro for what I use to color-sum my cells, but what I am looking to automate the color-coding process based on looking for keywords as explained above in my example. Here is one of the working color-summing macros (for red, in this case) if you'd like to use it as a reference:
Function SumRed(SelectedCells As Range)
' Adds the values of the cells where the font colour is red(3).
Dim Cell As Object
Dim x As Double
[Code] ...........

Let Sheet 1 have data in 3 columns to support a standard bubble chart
Col A: X Values
Col B: Y Values
Col C: Bubble Size
Id like to be able to color the bubbles according to the Y values, whether the Y values fall within the following ranges
Green for Y <=2
Orange for 2<Y<=5
Red for Y > 5
Im assuming some straightforward VB code is in the works but Im not quite there yet

I want to show 8 members of staff's names, with their sales closing percentages. I want then to produce a chart showing their percentages as a column with a line showing 16% going across the chart showing who is above and who is below the target.
Ideally i would also like to change the colour of the columns or background of those below the line to show who is under target.

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

I am working on a workbook with 200+ sheets and an index linking to each of the sheets. On the sheets there is a cell containing the results of calculations and I need the cell referencing the sheet in the index to change background colors depending if the calculations value is greater or less than 0. I currently have working code that also changes the tab color of each sheet depending on the value, but i am trying to add the index cell background change functionality into that. also, the index listings is subject to change. my working code is
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("d34").Value < 0 Then
Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 3
ElseIf Range("D34").Value > 0 Then
Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 4
Else
[Code]...
and the code i am trying to get working is
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngX As Range
Set myRange = Worksheets("Index").Range("A1:A500").Find(Range("C2").Text, lookat:=xlPart)
' the C2 is the reference the title that would be on the index
If Range("d40").Value < 0 Then
[Code]....
I keep getting the runtime error '1004: application-defined error or object-defined error the thing is, i ran the cell background changing code in a normal macro before integrating it in my other worksheet code first and it worked fine. I have a little code experience, though not much in vba and I am unsure what the issue is. if there is another better way to accomplish what I'm tring to do, that would also be fine.

I did a search on this site and found some code I was looking for (see link:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...e-in-cell.html - Leith Ross's response code).
The code works perfectly, however, if I save the workbook with a different spreadsheet on top than the spreadsheet referred to in this code, I get an error message: Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed.
I should state that I did change "Private Sub Workbook_Open()" to "Private Sub Auto_Open()".
I assume I need to modify the code but am unsure as to how.

My question is regarding changing properties in a chart without activating it. My current example is with adding data labels, but there are many other instances I could use this information in. Here is my current code:
VB: ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels
However, I was hoping to replace it with something like this:
VB: Sheets("Dashboard").ChartObjects("Chart 1").SeriesCollection(2).ApplyDataLabels
I get the "Object doesn't support this property/method" error. Is there a way to do this? It just seems inefficient to have to activate the chart in order to make changes.

I have a work sheet with over 500 different name enteries. I need to change the cell color to red if the cell has the name "john" in it. The names are listed in a column (ex. A1:A500)
The cell could have the name "John Jackson", "John Johnson", "John A", or just "John". As long as the name "John" is found, the cell color should turn red.
If the cell has the name "Mike", "Mike A", "Mike Johnson" then change color to Green. Here I am looking for any cell that has the name Mike in it.
and so on ...
I have over 500 different names so Conditional formating won't help me here. I was wondering if I could do this with VBA coding.

I want to be able to link the colors of 8 differnet TABS of individual worksheets that have each been colored differently to the colors of individual columns of a chart - being a summary chart of information in another worksheet that has come from seperate worksheets within the same workbook. So that if someone was to change the color of any tab then the color of the corrosponding color of a column in the chart would change automatically if the color of a TAB is changed.
