Color Cells Housing Dates
Jan 9, 2008
I have 4 cells in a single row. I would like the first 3 cells to contain various data for assigned tasks to employees. The 4th cell will contain a date, but that date will only be inserted once the task has been completed. The behavior of the cells over time needs to look like this:
1. The first 3 cells must have text in them and remain with white backgrounds until the date is inserted in the 4th cell.
2. All 4 cells must turn gray once the date is inserted in the 4th cell.
A user on another forum gave me Cell Value is Not Equal to ="" as the answer. This does not work as I have text in the first 3 cells and need them to remain white until the date is inserted in the 4th cell. Using "Formula Is" makes more sense to me as an approach, but I'll be hog-tied if I can figure out how to write the formula for it.

I have tried a little bit of different conditional formatting but cannot seem to get what I want.
So then I found this code that will do what I want if I could get it to recognize the highlight.
Sub HilightRows()
For Each cl In Range("C:C")
If cl.Value = 202546 Or cl.Value = 102725 Or cl.Value = 192473 Then
Rows(cl.Row).Highlight = True
End If
Next
End Sub
I want to be able to highlight rows that have certain numbers. When it finds the number it highlights it and goes to the next one and highlights it and so on. The numbers reside in column 'C'.
I changed Row(cl.Row).HiddenRows = True, To Row(cl.Row).Highlight = True. But it is not working.

I have several lists that I need to be able to print out periodically.
The main worksheet that underpins each list is over 900 lines long and numerous calcs and formulae populate columns to provide the data for my 'print lists'.
I need my 'print lists' on seperate worksheets and I have linked the data from my main worksheet results, using IF statements to stop unwanted results being displayed by making the rows appear empty (i.e. to display "").
Due to the design of my main Worksheet it is inevitable that I have many rows in each 'print list' that are not required for that particular 'print list'.
I want to remove the 'empty' rows from the print sheets at the time of printing. I cannot use the GoTo > Special > Blanks > Delete Rows because the rows are not recognised as being 'blank'.
I have attached 2 screenshots of my 'print lists'.
P.S. I am not assuming anything but I have searched on OZGRID and it appears to me that I might need to use Excel/VBA?

I have column "C", starting from "C5" with dates till C200, but not all cells have dates some of them are also blank.
I want the cell to change color depending on the date.
If the written due date is in a month from today, I want it to turn yellow, and if the due date is in the past from today, I wanted to turn red. I want it to get updated every month.

I have dates in Column D (mm/dd/yyyy). I'm trying to write a macro to compare the date in any cell in Column D to the current date. Then, if the date in that cell is within a month of the current date, color it red. If the date is within two months, color it orange. Etc, for up to six months. I've read up a little on dates in VBA, but I'm pretty lost.

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.

I want to set up a name which is a relative cell refence an is independant of the sheet. Something like this ITEMCOST =A1
So I would use this in each sheet (Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 ...)
So it should always reference A1 on whatever sheet the forrumal is placed e.g =0.175*ITEMCOST should work on A1 of each sheet. However, when I try this the name always references a specific worksheet Sheet1. I also want the name to cope with the case where I insert a new row so that the new value is ITEMCOST =A2

I have developed a database that is ported to other computer systems. My problem is that I have to hard-code the filename into the VBA code to identify the correct Application Object. I found that if I have activated another spreadsheet and run the code, it performs the actions on the wrong spreadsheet.
So my question is, is there a way to get the VBA code to automatically associate itself with the file in which it resides? That way, when I move the file to another computer, it knows what .xls file to use as the "Application Object".
here is what I have now (I replaced the actual paths with {x pathname}):
fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Cat Rev E - Ver 2.3.xls"
'fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Includes IVA Cat Rev E and JCPC - ver 2.3.xls"
'fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Cat Rev E - Ver 2.3 - for distribution.xls"
Set xlapp = GetObject("{1st pathname}FCS Hardware Databases and Catalogs" & fname)
'Set xlApp = GetObject("{2nd pathname}" & fname)
'Set xlapp = GetObject("{3rd pathname}" & fname)
Set xlapp = xlapp.Application
When I copy the file to another location, I manually uncomment the correct fname and xlApp name... a real pain, especially if I share this with a large community. I don't want to have to teach everyone how to do this every time!

As I type in text into Excel often I see number signs instead of the text. Baffling - I have tried switching the format to wrap etc - nothing works.
Can anyone help - See attached file. The short solution is to retype the text - but this occurs alot and I am not sure why. Really appreciate your help.

I am looking for a very simple script that will achieve the following:
On the clicking of a button, Select and shade in a cell yellow, delete the yellow shading of the previous cell. The shading & selection should move up a column of cells, 1 at a time, in the following order:
From B10 to B9, then B9 to B8, B8 to B7 etc until the selection and shading is at B2. Once it is at B2 subsequent clicks will simply keep it at B2 (the top). Thus after 8 clicks the shading & selection should travel from B10 to B2, with only 1 cell being shaded yellow and selected at any one time.

I have a spreadsheet that i download from the net daily, which is seperated into columns of information.
I want to be able to look down a column and mark a cell in a seperate column if the cell font text is red.
For example looking down column A ... if the font text of a1 is red then mark the cell background colour of T1 red - if a2 text colour is red then mark the cell T2 red .... etc etc.
If the font colour in a1 or a2 ... etc etc is any other colour then do nothing.
I have 5 columns I wish to look down and mark in 5 seperate columns - I have tried to do this by conditional formating but don't know the fomula for checking font colour.

I have a spreadsheet in which I needed to add the row totals of cells affected by conditional formatting. Ozgrid came to the rescue here (kudos to Dave H and JimFuller1), but now if I sort by these totals the results do not match the rows they are associated with. The attached spreadsheet shows the values the users want to see on Sheet1. The user changes the highlighted values in the rows by changing the values in A1 and B1. These index a set of tables on Sheet3, and Sheet2 mimics the CF conditions in order to provide the totals in col V of Sheet1.
Now if I filter a Sheet1 field on nonblanks (to get rid of the blank rows) and then attempt 'Sort Descending' on Col V, all the rows appear to sort correctly with the exception of Col V which now appears to give the wrong total for the row.

I have a sheet with several entries. I want to find a way to have the user go to a specific cell instantly. What I thought I'd try was a combobox that when I click on a name in the combobox. It will make the matching name from the list the active cell.

I'm trying to create a user-defined function, but the function needs to know what cell it has been placed in. I want to use this cell reference to get some other offset values. I can easily find out offset values based on the ActiveCell, but not for those offset values based on where the UDF is actually placed, which could be almost anywhere on the worksheet.

I have a weekly report which lists items and their available date. This list is always changing - new items added, old items removed. These items are required for 4 different projects and the item listed says which project the item date is for. There is also the same item across different projects which also have different dates which also appear and disappear each week depending on requirements.
I want to be able to capture the date for each of the items per project per week. Ultimately, I want to be able to track the movement of the date per item per project. I have attached a sample of how I want it to do.

I have a spreadsheet with 4 columns. The first column is a Date/Time object and the next three columns represent the R, G, and B values of a color. The color values are 8-bit numbers(0-255). What I'd like to do is create an area or bar chart where the x-axis are the dates and the y-axis is the overall brightness of the color (a simple average of R,G,B would suffice). However, I'd ideally like the color of the bar to be displayed by the R, G, and B values from the cells. Is this possible? I've attached a dummy file for reference.

Actually it is an even or odd date but I figure that it will read the date as it's serial number and that would be a number. I thought I would use something like "Formula is: =MOD(VALUE,2)" but I can't get it to work. I'd like to be able to do this without using the Analysis Toolpack. Even though ISEVEN seems like it might be a good solution.

I'm trying to build up a spreadsheet with the info below to follow up the due and overdue invoices. My point is to highlight the whole row for an unpaid invoice at the due date.
Here's the basic structure of the document:
A colum: invoice ref
B : name of customer
C : Invoice date
D : Due date
E and F: Amount in EUR and USD
G : Paid (Yes/No)
1. I'd like to highlight the whole row in red when the invoice is due/overdue AND unpaid (G = No). That means 2 conditions.
2. When invoices are paid (when G = Yes), the row should be green.
3. Highlight the whole row in orange when the invoice is unpaid and due in 10 days.

Im working on a large workbook with multiple worksheets. Each of these
worksheets has a large amount of data relating to training records. In
particular, the date that an employees certification is due to expire
(eg: 01/02/2007 or 31/09/2009 etc)...(im also in Australia so my date formats may be different).
I need to color code these records with the below logic, eg:
If Cell Date is <Today() = Red Text or Cell
If Cell Date is <18months from Today()+1 = Yellow Text or Cell
If Cell Date is >18months from Today() = No change - leave white
I have basic VBA knowledge, but will be able to work my way through
some of the code that is posted.
It's also key to note that there are multiple 'Blank' and 'Text' Cells
in these worksheets. I only want to apply this code to a cell if it is
populated with a date, is this possible ?? (eg: i only want to change
the color of the dates listed, not the other cells with text and single
numbers).
I have played around with the Conditional Formatting but i will need
more than 3 conditions in the future. I've also attached a small
screenshot of the data for your convenience.

I would typically consider myself a decent Excel user, but I haven't been able to solve this one. Maybe it's just the lack of sleep now. I am attempting to combine 4 cells into one where the last cell contains a date. Below is the formula I am using:
=B3&" "&C3&" "&D3&" "&TEXT(E3,"m/d/yy")
It works when all of the cells have values, but the only problem I am having is that some of the dates (in column E) are blank. When this cell is blank the default date that displays is "1/0/00." If I add the typical, " " at the end it says the formula has errors. The need for the TEXT(E3,"m/d/yy") for the cells that contain dates is throwing me off.

I have a WAY to complicated excel form that I'm going to move to Access but I need to have this working in the interim. The form has a dynamic element, the user can choose the number of items they are ordering and it unhides the required number of text boxes. To keep the scripting down a did a little work-around to update the database using a loop through the form controls:
'Save the main row
MainOrderRow = ActiveCell.Row
LastRow = MainOrderRow + (ExtraOrders - 1) ' Calculate the last row
ExtraOrderNo = 1
For DBRow = MainOrderRow To LastRow
' Save the text box name with the extra order number
k = "txtDescriptionMul" & ExtraOrderNo & ""
l = "txtQuantityMul" & ExtraOrderNo & ""
m = "txtTotalValueMul" & ExtraOrderNo & ""
n = "ComboBoxUnitMul" & ExtraOrderNo & ""...................

I am using Excel 2010 and basically i am trying to fill a range of cell with a green color if any value was enter in a specific cells. Example: I would like to fill range: A10:c13 with a green color (regardless of the cells content in this range) if a value was entered in cell C10 or C11 or C12 or C13.
I've tried conditional formatting but unfortunately I'll have to apply formatting for every cell and for a range of over hundred cells is not efficient.

I’m trying to make my life a bit easier, by adding a few macros and formulas to the spreadsheet (Everything was done completely manually before I got here!!!).
What I would like to do is take two columns, which contain a start and end time for work shifts, and colour them GREEN once I have entered a name in the Worker column (Along side the two with the time), and also to fill a cell with a Yes or a No. I’m aware of auto conditioning, and I’ve tried to have a play to get this to work, but I just can’t work it out.
I have posted a link to an image which shows what I want. I hope I've explained it well enough!

I have been looking around have this much code from this site, modified. What I am trying to do is calculate numbers by a position with cells D through K having numeric values. I have 'hardcoded' the cells (D2, E2, etc in the code below), but in reality I only want the current row (so if the formula is on the 2nd row, I want D2, if it is on the 3rd row, I want D3).
My problem is obviously the formula isn't working because I am not correctly tying back to the spreadsheet (Positioncalc.xls). When I put the formula in the spreadsheet it works, but in my script I get 0 everytime.
My Script:
Function Position(rCell As Range, Optional RightPosition As Boolean)
Dim vResult
Select Case rCell.Text
Case "QB"
vResult = (2*D2) + (2*E2) + (2*F2) + (4*G2) + (2*H2) + (1*I2) + (4*J2) + (3*K2)
Case Else
vResult = "Invalid Position"
End Select
If RightPosition = True Then
Position = vResult
Else
Position = "Position not valid"
End If
End Function
So, when I put =Position(A2,True) I expect to see the formula results of those cells calculated based on the position (QB, HB, etc with their unique formulas).
My next challenge after this is to highlight certain cells based on the Position. So if A2 = QB, I want cell D2 boldface and Red, etc. I have seen some scripts on colors and such here, so I might be able to figure it out.

I have a similar question regarding coloring of empty cells between two cells with specific numbers as posted in below thread : [URL] .....
This is exactly what I want. But here I have some problem with formula.
=COUNTIF(A1:Z1,1)=1
Above formula could pick cell value 1 and color the empty cells in a row between the cells having value=1. But if I want to use the same formatting for other numbers like 2 or 3 it doesn't work.
For example in row(A1:Z1) I have A1=1, D1=1, and F1=2, K1=2, and O1=3, U1=3
I required multiple conditional formatting that could color the cells based on values first from A to D then from F to K and finally from O to U.
I'm using above formatting it works with cells having values 1 but its not working for 2, 3 or any other cells values.
I have already tried replacing 1 in above formula with 2 and 3 but it doesn't work.

I’m trying to change color in cell B9 according to different conditions in Cell C9 (than on b10 according to c10 and so long until necessary - probably will be around 2000 lines). Since there are more than 3 conditions and in two cases condition depends on the color of the C Column, I can not use conditional formatting. I’ve searched and found similar forums here, but since I’m ignorant in VBA code, I couldn’t manage to make adjustments. So if you can help me with the code, I would really appreciate it!
Condition and Results required would be:
IF column C = “S” than on Column B = color cell light blue with white border
IF column C = “P” than on Column B = color cell Green with white border
IF column C = “A” than on Column B = color cell Yellow with white border
IF column C = “L” than on Column B = color cell Red with white border
IF column C = “C” than on Column B = color cell Dark Blue with white border
IF column C = “ ” than on Column B = color cell white
IF column C = “V” and has white background than on Column B = color cell white
IF column C = “V” and has a Dark Grey background than on Column B = color cell Dark Grey
I don’t know if the last two are feasible.
