I must highlight cells that appear more than once.
What I mean is that if an item in a cell appears more than once I highlight it in blue, if the same happens twice I highlight that cell red etc and so one. does anyone know how to do this in excel.
I am trying to create a formula that will change the cell color in a range of cells in the row. I want the color to change based on the information in a particular cell appearing on a different sheet. What sheet the information is on determines the color the cells change to.
Example: I have 4 sheets I am working with. We will call them A; B; C; and D. I would like the color of cells A5-I5 on sheet D to change to red when the information in cell A5 from Sheet D shows up in any cell in column A on sheet A. If the information from cell A5 sheet D appears in any cell in column A from Sheet B then the color will be yellow, etc.
I have a code that updates data from one file to another.....esentially, i run this code daily and it updates to a compiled daily log of all of the previous days data.
Currently, i am manually coloring the cells to visually assist in grouping what data has been uploaded for each day.

I am trying to create a model that has a mixture of conditional formatting and data validation formulas within it, but have run into a problem in one area. Essentially, cell E10 is a Validation which pulls a drop down list of names. One of the options in this list is "Other".
I want to create a VBA code to make sure that cell E12 will get rid of any input, turn grey (color index = 15), and potentially lock (if possible!) if the "Other" is chosen by the user in cell E10. If any other value is chosen for cell E10, Cell E12 needs to remain unlocked and white (color index=2).
Well I am back to the colour coding of protected cells
I am using excell 2003
Many cells in the worksheet are locked
My problem is that when I am debugging I forget to turn sheet protection on
when I am finished And then users can overtype the cell formulae
How can I set excel up so that when the sheet is protected all the Locked cells have a green background , but when the protection on the worksheet is turned off
then the locked cells must be a red
I am looking for code that would delete all columns in a worksheet that do not contain a fill color.

Row 1 contains either a number, the letter x, or the letter a.
Cells in Range("B2:Q628) contains either the letter x or is blank
If a cell in row 1 contains an x, then all cells in that column with an x has an Interior.ColorIndex of 45
If a cell in row 1 contains an a, then all cells in that column with a blank has an Interior.ColorIndex of 45
If a cell in row 1 contains has a number, then nothing
I have this code:
Code:
If .Range("K" & t) = "AUTO" Then
.Range("K" & t) = Format(Application.VLookup(.Range("A" & t), rcore, 54, False), "h:mmA/P")
With .Range("K" & t)[code]....
It is intended to change the font colour to white when the cell = "AUTO". It does, but it also changes the contents of the cell (like NA, and NR) to white when they aren't equal to AUTO.
I have a spreadsheet with a row for a company name, their offer price underneath that, and a 1,2, or 3 underneath that. In a seperate tab I have the offer prices in order of rank with the company name next to the corresponding price using the Index function. I also need to be able to color code the background of the offer price based upon the 1,2 or 3 associated with each name. I am new to the Index stuff so I need some help putting this one together.

Is there a way to create a macro to color code a cell based on the value in a cell, and then look up a value in a table, then color code it based on where it fits into the table?
I have a table of values for about 30 projects. In column g - there is a CPI value (see bold column)
Example: Project ID
Name
Program
PMT
SI ID
AC
Milestone
TCP Level
[Code] ......
Here is the table:
I have to color code a cell, base on the CPI and how it fits into the table below. So if the current Milestone is M2 or M3 and the CPI calculated is .14 the cell would be colored RED, if the CPI number is 2.01 for M2-M3 I would want cell to be colored Turquiose. If we were at Milestone M6 and the CPI was 2.01, it would be colored blue. If the CPI was .75 at Milestone M5, it would be colored Green
LEGEND
Earned Value Limits
Milestone
RED
Yellow
Green
Turquoise
Blue
M2-M3
2.15
M4-M6
1.66
M7-M11
1.26
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 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'm using a VLOOKUP function to return data from a database query on another page. If the data it is looking for is not available, it displays "#N/A". As data will not always be available, this is an intentional use of the function.
I was just wondering if there is a way to return just a blank cell insted of "#N/A" (Like turning the error message for a broken function off). It just looks like a mess with all of the NAs.
I use the code below to automatically set a black dot in cell
A11. I would like to add code which would color that dot
the same color as a manually placed checkmark in column C11 which

In other words, in addition to the code printed below, I would
like to color the dot the same color as the color of the arrow
symbol é in column C11.
Is that possible? Thanks

I was wondering if there's a way to make the numbers in a column over 50 (as an example) green and numbers less than 50 red. (The numbers in this column are the sums of other cells, but I guess that doesn't really matter.)

I am using the following code to change colors in set of autoshapes (Thanks Colin_L and Norie) and it works fine for the first autoshape but has it has no effect on the subsequent autoshapes. I plan on using the code for about 200 autoshapes, I thought I could just copy the first code and keep adding it on for each autoshape... I am guessing that the code is stopping after the first set and not continuing?

If Target.Address = "$C$46" Then
'Change autoshape color to red depending upon cell value, or blank of no value is entered.

My issue is, some of my checks have more than one variable as a wrong answer. For example, one check may include Check and Bad as possible outcomes of the formula in the cell.
