Conditional Formatting: Show If A Formula Has Been Overwritten
Apr 1, 2009There is a clever piece of conditional formatting designed to show if a formula has been overwritten. It works by creating a range called (say) CellHasFormula and then entering =GET.CELLl(48,Indirect("rc",false)) in the reference box. In the cell you wish to conditionally format you enter =CellHasFormula. If the formula in that cell is overwritten, then the conditional formatting is displayed.

Feb 20, 2009I am trying to create a user form, and need to admit at this point that unfortunately I have no knowledge of VBA - bog standard excel formulae are what I know!
I am trying to create a section for people to enter an address, and in itself this is quite straightforward, but I want to be able to enter faint text in the cells as an information instruction that will disappear as someone starts to type in that cell. Can anyone help with a method that would work within Excel versions 2000, 2003 & 2007? (I realise that I could insert a comment, but it's not an obvious instruction, and given the Excel knowledge of a lot of people who will be using this form, it would be completely overlooked!)
Why Are Formulas Automatically Overwritten By Result
Apr 7, 2004When I enter a formula into a cell, for instance; (d27*d28/144)*d23, and then enter a number into cell d23, the formula gets replaced by the value of the result automatically.
I've searched the help files and found no setting that does this. It reminds me of an old question I've had lingering since I've used excel and that is why sometimes when you enter a math calculation, for intance; =25/5, the number 5 is entered into the cell instead of the formula.
After I posted the above, the problem magically went away until.....
This is boggling my mind. The problem is back.
The wierd thing is I copy a known good formula to one of these cells, for a split second you can see the formula in the formula window and then it gets changed automatically to the result of the formula. Formula is gone!
Then I tried this:
I set security to high (I had it on Low) and of course my macros would not run, but this did not clear up the problem. However when I set security back to low, it now seems to be working good. I am scepticle (sp.?) though because the problem is very random.
Could I have a virus?
Copy And Paste - Existing Data Overwritten
Nov 28, 2011I have 2 opened workbooks. Call them BookCopy.xls and BookPaste.xls.
In BookCopy.xls I have filtered data which I want to copy ("shtCopy") and insert into a particular row in sheet ("shtPaste") in BookPaste.xls.
"shtPaste" already has data in it. Hence when I paste the data in, I don't want the existing data to be overwritten.
Normalize Data Across Duplicates But Keep Field Containing Overwritten Values?
Mar 31, 2013I have a file of company name exactly duplicated. Within each duplicate set of rows each row can have a different account code (number).
I need to normalise all rows to one account code (any one will do - I can actually do this bit using some commercial software so this bit can be skipped as part of this thread) but also keep every variation/different account code in an 'audit trail' field for each row.
The attached sample file shows the input and desired output i would like.
IF(VLOOKUP) Formula That Also Copies Cell Background Color To Target Cell
Jul 4, 2014I am currently using this Formula to Search a table on sheet 2 (Tabelle2) and copy the date in the relevent cell (Cells) into the correct cell on Sheet 1 (Master Sheet).
[Code] ..........
Used in cells E10:AZ30 and E33:AZ46
This works perfectly and is the formula behind all relevent cells in Sheet 1.
I would like to keep this but to add that it also copies the background color of the cell in Sheet 2 to the cell in sheet 1.
If i can Bring this Formula into VBA and add the color changing part, It must only work on the cells listed above..
Use Cell Color In Formula Without VBA
Dec 28, 2007Is it possible to reference a cell's colour in a formula within a spreadsheet - without using VBA? i.e If Cell A1 has a fill colour of yellow, can I have a formula in cell A2 that says If Cell A1 fill colour = Yellow, result = 1 etc. I know this can be done in VBA, and I have done that, but just wondered if possible this way.

Excel 2007 :: Changing Bar Series Color To Adjacent Cell Font Color
Aug 8, 2012I 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).

View 3 Replies View RelatedColor Cell Fonts Based On Text Color Of TextBox Controls On UserForm
Apr 11, 2008I have got a userform with lots of controls,
One of the action's on a large group of the controls is the same but except for one number
here is an example
If TextBox107.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell. Offset(0, 53).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox108.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 54).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox109.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 55).Font.ColorIndex = 3
This makes a cell that correlates to the textbox red if the text in the textbox is red.
Now, I loads of these textboxes that all need to run the same code with just the Offset value one digit higher than the last and I was hoping I could create a loop to avoid a huge block of code but I can't work out how to make a constant that will +1 with each loop.
Also, can I assume that a loop will start with the control with the lowest number i.e. Textbox1 and then work its way through the rest of them in order?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSetting Color Of Range Based On Adjacent Cell Color
Nov 1, 2009This is probably elementary, but I'm struggling and would appreciate any help as I have very little excel VBA experience to draw from.
I have assembled code which changes the cell color based on a value change in Column A. Column A will contain many different groups of repeating values. This code works well and and I have been able to figure out how to limit the number of colors to only 2. The end result is each set of similar values in column A is visually grouped by one of two alternating colors.
The number rows in the data set is variable as the data set is extracted from SAP. The number of columns is fixed.
What I want to do now is set the cell color in columns B through F the same color that was assigned to the row in column A. So if cell A3 is set to colorindex = 6, then I want to set the range of cells B3 to E3 to the same color.
Here is the code I am using to set the color of the cells in Column A:
