I have an area of a spreadsheet that I want to "disappear" when a particular option button is selected. I can make the text go away, but part of that area has cells that are formatted differently than the surrounding cells. I would like to change the cell background color, text color, and border setting. How would the syntax read?
View 5 RepliesI have the following Case statement that changes all the cells to the correct color, but does not change the Font color as specified in the Case. All the text is White (fcolor = 2) instead of just the 3 types of cells specified.

NOTE* the info being read into the worksheet looks like this 12-2 or 10-1 or 12-12 but if it would stay as TEXT like i have it set to instead of changing itself to date format it would work just fine
I'm not sure how this could be done though i'm pretty sure its going to require some VBA instead of conditional formatting. I would like cell B2 to have background colour red for 10 seconds after cell A1 is edited. So every time A1 is edited B2 will change colour for 10 seconds and then back to original formating.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow to copy and paste conditional formatting with our changing the cell values. My first row of data starts in row 4 and here is what I have in D4
If D4 is less than or equal to AA4, AW4, BS4, CO4 then it will highlight D4
Now I want to copy that format and paste it for all rows in column D. The problem I'm having though is when I paste the formula it doesn't change to match the row I'm on. For example, when I paste it in D5 this is what I get
If D5 is less than or equal to AA4, AW4, BS4, CO4 then it will highlight D5
How do I paste it so that it will update to show AA5, AW5, BS5, and CO5. I want to be able to do this for 500 rows.
I'm a average excel user, i know my way around it and kow common and basic formulee, VB isnt a strong point, but i am willing to attemp anything for this, let me explain
Lets say in colum A I have a list of items, in colum B i have a check box, currently the check box is red, if i tpye a x it turns green due to conditional formating. That works fine...onto the problem...
Lets say in colum A i have my items but they are repeated...eg A1, A145, A166, A122 are all the same item, what i want is regardless of where i place the x each check box under coloum B either gets a X and turns green, or just turns green, i dont mind...
I dont think conditional formatting can cut this, though i may be wrong. Ive tried to use the IF function under condtional formatting but ran into problems...
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] ...........
Is there "code" for different formatting in a spreadsheet so you can use an IF statement to do something like:
if(A1=blue background,"Yes","No")
or
if(A1=red text,"Yes","No")
etc.?? But replace "blue background" and "red text" with some sort of number code? I want to compile a list of the items that are formatted with certain background colors and/or text colors and then organize only those items into a chart.
How the Lookup will break down within an IF statement?
Original
HTML Code:
'ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(R[-1]C[-2]"""",LOOKUP(1000,SEARCH({""Principal"",""Foreclosure"",""Interest"",""Premium"",""Discount""},RC[-1]),{1,1,2,2,2}),"""")"
Non-Working If statement. I realize that the Lookup isn't currently here. Including it kind of defeats the purpost of breaking this out into IF's, doesn't it?
HTML Code:
If MyFirstCell.Offset(0, -2) "" Then
MyFirstCell.Offset(0, -1) = Search("Principal")
MyFirstCell = 1

I wish to use a formula to highlight a date based on two criteria in two separate columns;
The first is the Date that will be in Column B.
I want it to highlight the date if : Today() is greater than that date in the cell plus 5 years (or 1824 days)
The second criteria I want is for the date to be only highlighted if the corresponding cell (in column A) does NOT contain the term ("Basic")
I have the formula:
=AND((TODAY()>(B1+1824)),A1=("Basic"))
which highlights the date correctly IF the term in Column A is "Basic" : But I cannot figure out how to insert the NOT statement to make the formula flip around so it only highlights those dates older than the 5 years requirement and NOT contain the "Basic" in column A.
I have several rows with data in and what I would like would be to total the amount of time "CU" is displayed and if that number is less than say 10 the formatting is applied. I need if possible to be able to do this via the one condition.

Can you do a IF statement in Conditional Formatting? I need a column to highlight Red if there is a blank in it based on the current time COMPARED to the stated time in another column (on a separate tab)
So if current time is 1:30 PM and the stated (appointment) time on the other sheet is 1:15 PM, and my control field is still blank, I need it to turn Red.
I have spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out why this formula will not work. I am guessing it is probably something simple like a "format" issue. Okay here is my formula, and the data it represents.
Column F is The Primary Tool. This cell will have X if it applies, or be blank if it does not. the formula is based on whether or not there is an X in this field. Column D is the Tab Title. This cell can be empty or contain a title. If the cell is Blank, the result should be blank, if the title is the same title as the cell above it, the result should be the next consecutive number. And if D is neither blank nor the same title as above it, it should display 1. Column N is where a numerical value for each title is displayed.
=IF($ F8="X",IF(D8="","",IF(D8=D7,L7,L7+1,(IF(D7="",1),""))))
I have a tab that has rows with line items from a financial report (the items start with unique identifier numbers) and the tab also has historical monthly data for each of these items. I now have a new tab with the same line items but they are now in a different order. Is there a formula that I can use to copy all of the data from the old tab into the corresponding monthly line item in the new tab? Nothing changes except for the order of the rows.
Also, at the top of the old tab, there are totals that grab from each of the rows below. If I copy these formulas into the new tab, I think that they will reference the incorrect rows (as the order has changed) Is there any way to transfer these formulas and keep the linkage intact?
Set MyRange = Range("A1:AZ9615") ' Range to apply format to
For Each Item In MyRange
Select Case Item.Value
Case "1780", "1800", "1810", "2050", "6170"
Item.Font.ColorIndex = 3
'x = 3
Case Else
x = xlNone
End Select
Item.Rows.Interior.ColorIndex = x
Next Item
I want it to search that range and turn those Numbers in Quotes to Red, which it works fine, but Somtimes those numbers are Imbedded in a string excample "1810-1-DAV". So my Question is When It turns my normal numbers red, how can I get it to turn the STRING RED ALSO?
I am trying to eliminate the use of formulas for conditional formatting in my code. I heard that the CASE statement might work for this. Below is the code I have but the case does not like the second case statement.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range(("S2:V" & TTRows), ("W2:W" & TTRows))) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case Is >= 0.8
icolor = 3
Case is >= 0.7 and not >= 0.8
icolor = 6
Case Else
icolor = 0
End Select
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = icolor
End If
End Sub
We have a spreadsheet that is sent to a manager weekly. The manager takes the sheets from 30+ individuals and copies all into a single workbook that is then distributed to a very large audience and reviewed weekly. In this workbook, I have created drop downs with conditional formatting - Low = Green, Medium = Yellow, Critical = Red. On the original workbook, this formatting works great, however, after the manager consolidates and redistributes all worksheets the Green shows Gray, Yellow is OK and Red shows Black.

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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedConditional formatting. I have been tasked with creating a simple game for a group training project.
The game consists of users filling in the answers to questions (simple one word text answers). My boss wants to have a master sheet with the correct answers, and a subsequent sheet that will then compare the employee's answer to the master sheet. If the employee's answer is correct, then the output sheet simply displays the correct answer, however, if the employee's answer is wrong, he would like the output to display the correct answer and highlight the cell.
Is there a way to have the output sheet highlight a cell only when the answer on the employee sheet is different from the master sheet? I was thinking along the lines of using an if statement to see if the values of the employee sheet differ from the master sheet, but I do not know how I would then use that result to highlight the cells in the output sheet.
I created added conditional formatting to the Response Due column, to keep track of when response was due.
I only want the conditional formatting to be applied if the cell next to it is blank.
For example, the last one on my attachment is due 3/26/14 but I have already submitted a response (see column K)
What can I add so that only those dates next to a blank in column K get the conditional formatting?

I have several worksheets in a workbook that has dates of completion of
various training topics. Some of these topics require annual (12 months),
bi-annual (24 month), 6-month, or even 2-month re-training.
What I am trying to accomplish is to automatically shade all cells for dates
that fall within one month of these periodicities based on the computer's
clock when a workbook is opened. Unfortunately different columns have
different periodicities so what I was planning on doing was putting that
monthly number in a cell ("12" in A1000, for example for all Column A
values). When the file is opened, if any of the dates in column A are more
than 11 months from today's date (A1000 minus 1), they are within one month
of needing to be re-trained and I want the cell shading to be a light
yellow.
I am attempting to add conditional formatting (yellow fill) to cells that are greater than 15% or less than -15%. I've tried the following formula but, it highlights all cells.

I've been given some data and the date column is formatted as 'general'. If I amend it to the date format I prefer and click ok nothing changes. If I then click in the cell and press enter it changes the format to what I want. Is there anyway of refreshing all the cells so the format change takes effect?
I can achieve what i'm after by using find and replace to change '2012' to '2012' and '2013' to '2013' but i'd be interested to know whether there is a more recognised solution?
I have an array that refers to a range of values:
Dim vtimeheader As Variant
vtimeheader = Worksheets("output").Range("e4:xfd4").Value

(2) I want to apply the format "General" to all the cells in the array
I would like to change the number format of a cell in function of the value of another cell. For example, if A1=1, then I would like the cell A2 to be displayed as a percentage. If A1=2, then would like the cell A2 to be displayed as a number.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a horizontal bar chart in which some of the bars represent positive values and others represent negative values.
How to format the bars so the "positive" bars are shaded in one colour and "negative" bars in another colour? I'd prefer not to change the bar colour manually as the values change frequently.
If a cell cntent includes a symbol [as an arrow, for instance] beside the text,the font colour does not change as required when the condition is met.
