Changing Fill Colour Of Cells Based On Other Cell Inputs
Jun 20, 2014
I have a calendar set up with dates going along P6:CU6. Column C9:C27 has various status' for the job such as "Complete" or "In Progress" etc. Next to that in rows D and E I have start and end dates for the job. What I am trying to do is change the fill colour of the empty cells that are in line with each job, so that between the correct dates they are the corresponding colour to the status. So a complete job on row 9 that started on 26/05/14 and finished on 28/05/14 would have three green cells along Q9, R9, and S9.
I have tried an IF/AND/OR statement which looks like this:
I am getting a #VALUE! data type error, I have tried reformatting the cells to various date formats but no luck so far. This could be because my dates are set up as =P6+1 etc. but I am not sure. The error only occurs when the cell falls within the dates, otherwise it remains blank.
I intend to hide the value in the cell and use conditional formatting to change the cell colour based on the hidden input.
Once this is working I also need to take weekends into account, column G has any 2 value combination of Y and N to say whether the employee is working Saturday, Sunday or both. Row 7 has a "1" value underneath every Saturday and a "2" underneath every Sunday. I can imagine how this would work but combining it with the above formula could be complicated.
I need to fill 2 other cells with varying colours dependant on what is chosen within another cell.
I have a drop-down list in cell A2 to select either ON SITE, ACTIVE or CANCEL.
What I need then basically is... if A2 equals 'ON SITE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) GREEN if A2 equals 'ACTIVE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) YELLOW if A2 equals 'CANCEL' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) RED
I want to colour in the relevant cells for each ref depending on the numbers in the stage column. So for the first line, the cells in columns 1,2,4&6 need to be shaded in. For the second line, the cells in columns 1,2,3,4,&5 need to be shaded in. I already have a lot of conditional formatting set on the sheet so need to do this with a macro.
I have tried to write something but am having issues with it finding the 1 and shading in the correct column but then jumping out of the loop and on to the next cell.
I'm trying to change the colour of a row based on the value in a cell (in a column) and am wondering how I can do that. Conditional formatting doesn't allow enough colours unfortunatly. Ive googled it and can only get a cell colour to change not a row colour.
To give an explanation:
Sheet 1: Rows 5 - 100 colour to change based on Sheet 2 Column K5-100. Column K5-K100 will have values between 0 and 10.
i have an excel file which contains data, I want to be able to search this file and to fill the cell and its next 3 cells to the right with a certain colour. Is this possible as I have wrote some vba to do this but, Im only able to search and not fill the cells with the correct colour.
I have a cell in sheet1 (say, B2) in which I can key a date. Once I change that date, cell C10 updates (after I hit F9 to recalculate) with a new number based on the new date.
I have a list of dates on another sheet, from 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2013, all in column B. I want to produce VBA code that will run through each day, 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2009, in sheet1 cell B2 and take the output in C10 and place it next to each day in column B until it reaches the end (12/31/2013). I know this is possible but for some reason am having trouble coming up with the right looping mechanism.
You can imagine if I had to manually key in each day to get the desired output how tedious that would be.
I have been working on a spreadsheet but I use autoformat for.
For example if the date in the cell matches today's date then it turns the text read and makes it bold.
I was wondering if there was a way to format several cells in a row if a certain criteria was met.
for example
A B C 1 Item Cost Quantity 2 Car £11,520 2 3 Bike £7,500 1 4 Tyres £50 4
Now for example if I set a condition whereas the quatity is greater than 3 then it would highlight the whole row.
So in the example above I would like to to highlight row 4 and Fill colour cells A4,B4 & C4 with a yellow background and Red Text and make the texted bold.
I'm trying to create an excel spreadsheet to manage personnel and various ongoing projects, what I'm trying to do is create a custom box with a selection of options (5) that will automaticaly fill a selected range of cells with a colour and 'merged' text that was selected from the custom box.
I have figure A1 column which total amount accounting at cells A31. I need figure 360 as a benchmark calculation perfectly been done. In this calculation 360 well off inside cells A18 although actual number is 363. If we use Conditional Formatting when had enough total in cells the achieve 360, cells colour will be transformed to red. What formula which need I used to change no matter cells on A1 to A30 if sufficient study 360 automatically cells changing colour to red
In the xls for each step I have 2 raws-planned and actual. Step planned duration is populated manually over the weeks.Before that row we have another reflecting the actual step status per week
I would like to find a way how cell reflecting the actual status of a step can be automatically populated (coulored) based on the colour/value of activities that are planned for that week and for that step.Activities are listed below the step and again have planned and actual row.
The rule should be : if for a week we have several activities all of them should be finished in order to have step stataus auto populated as green. If a single activity planned for that week is not done-then weekly step status should be red.
The activities for each step are grouped below the step. It seems that one of the difficult part in that request would be how formula will understand where starts and finishes the activities that belong to one step. To get that happen I placed a column showing step and another column where we activity.
Trying to create a dynamic costing spreadsheet, where the user has to make multiple selections from many dropdown lists, all of which end up showing a total cost.
So far I have managed to create relatively dynamic lists, so that the choice in one cell will dictate what options are available in the next.
But if a user selects an options form all the dropdowns, and then decides to go back and modify a previous option to something else, the effected dropdown lists do not change until you click on the drop down arrow again and see the options available have changed.
Let me try and simplify... 'Menu 1' has two option: 'A' and 'B'. If 'A' is chosen, then the next menu, 'Menu 2', will have options '1' and '2'. If 'B' is chosen from 'Menu 1', then the options in 'Menu 2' will be '3' and '4'. Lets say the user chose 'A' from 'Menu 1' and then '1' from 'Menu 2'... AND THEN went back and changed their choice in 'Menu 1' to 'B'.... 'Menu 2' will still be displaying '1', even though the options are only '3' and '4'.
Can I make the dependant menu's either reset or blank or highlight to show that a change made somewhere else has made them currently invalid
I have two dates lets call them cells A1 and A2. I then have another cell that caluclates the difference in these dates into a simple number (ie not another date) - A3. I need one of two things.
Ideally I want the whole cell (A3) to appear as a Green (fill) cell if the value is below 5, appear Orange if beween 6 and 9 and appear as red if its 10 or over.
I do not know if you can colour a cell that has a formula in already. So what follows is my current 'work around', which, if you can not colour the A3 cell, then I would need this cell coloured (A4). =IF(D12>7,"Urgent Attention",IF(D12<5,"New",""))
How can I change its colour? Every time I try to it reverts to the automatic black. I do not want to change the automatic colour (not that I know how to) because black suits me for most of the cells; but there are some where I want a blue border.
This problem arose in conditional formatting but applies to ordinary formatting too. It occurs in 2007 and 2003.
I am an Excel newbie and would like your help to develop the attached spread sheet. I would like the colour of cells A4 to H4 to change colour when the date in column B is plus 10 days and the same to happen to A5 to H5 so on and so on
I would also like the cells A4 to P4 to change colour when a quote goes to become an order an we enter data into J4 to P4 again the same thing to happen in subsequent lines as data is entered in the relevant line.
Basically I want a quote of 10 days or more to show as a different colour so that an employee can chase the quote. Once the quote become a firm order I want the cells to become a different colour again.
I m a newbie at Excel but i have a little work project on my hands which i would like to have an excel document have cells change colour to the date
eg:
Today is 05/02/08 cells with the attached date of this should be orange Above this date should be green (e.g 10/02/08) and below this date should be red (e.g 01/01/07)
Also after this problem is solved, the dates that turn orange is it possible to automatically have some sort of message come up saying that "Such as such is expiring" or for the red "Such and such is expired" and would the program/document need to be open for the messages to occur?
refer to attached worksheet. If value in D7 is less than zero; then D8 = 0% If D7 > 0, then D8 = value in C8, and this value must also be copied into 9 adjacent cells in row 8 from D8 onwards.
I have two sheets, one sheet showing the total calories burned, in the sheet two, i have the target set,
How can i change the color of cell in the target on the basis of the achivement for example the target is say 10,000 cells and after I achieve 1500, it will change the color, after 3000 it will change another color and so on and so forth.
I'm using this code below to change the background colour of a range of cells:
Code: With .Range("I18:J18") .Locked = False .Pattern = xlSolid .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic .Color = 9739376 'RGB(112,156,148) .TintAndShade = 0 .PatternTintAndShade = 0 End With
I am receiving 'Object doesn't support this property or method' errors starting with the highlighted row. I'm unable to understand where I've erred. Note that range I18:J18 are merged.
Is this method an efficient way of simply changing a cell's background colour?
I have no knowledge of VB programming and the conditional formatting seems limited. I want to change to the color of cells to yellow if the cell value is greater than 80 but less than 99, and if it is 100 or greater to fill red. Is this possible and if so can it be applied to a range of cells?
Now I would like to keep value of A3 in cell A7 every time I change input values in A1 and A2 and so on.
A1 = 15 A2 = 8 A3 = 15+8 = 23 A7 = 12
And when an input in A3 > 100, it will popup a message, that a total cannot over 100. My code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row = 1 And Target.Column = 3 Then
Range("A7").Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove Range("A3").Value = Range("A7").Value Exit Sub Else If Range("A3").Value > 100 Then MsgBox "Total exceed 100. Check you inputs!" End If End Sub
I am looking for a way for Excel to fill in cells in a column that has data sporadically in it. I am importing a text file into excel and saving it as an Excel file.
In the example attached, I need the numbers filled in all the way down to the next number. I don't care about the text, just the numbers. I realize I can copy and paste, but these files can be several hundred rows long and it seems there should be a better way.
how can I change the following code so that the cell background colour remains the same. the below code unlinks the hyperlinks but deletes the backgroundcolour also of all the cells.
Code: Private Sub Button3_Click() ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Delete Range("A7:W100").Select
I'm trying to take 5 inputs that are all in text format and inputs have fixed options what i need is a macro that will take them and turn them in to the relevant outputs. there is a select amount of combinations and i've been asked to do each combination as a separate macro or sub macro.
What I have so far is;
If C6 = "Panel plate" And D6 = "24 by 21" And E6 = "<1.59" And F6 = "N/A " Then I6 = "120" And j6 = "4" And L6 = "120" End Sub
A B C D E F G H I J K L 1 2 4 5 6 Panel plate 24 by 21 <1.59 N/A 7 8 9 10
(Doesn't seem to work)...
If those four cell match up then i need I6-L6 to line up with whats required. If they don't equal that i need it to stay clear.
I also need to add the same macro with different options.
VBA code that would update a chart automatically as you change the inputs which are located in cells in excel. The inputs are located in cells B5:B9 and i want a code so that as you change these numbers the chart would automatically update.
