Color & Merge Cells In Non Continuous Selection
Feb 20, 2008
What I want to do is have a macro color and merge whatever range I have selected when I run the macro. I can get this far.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 1
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
Selection.Merge
End Sub
What I DON'T know how to do is set it to where if I have multiple selections, have a message box pop up that states I can't do this on multiple selections, and cancel the macro running. I think it will involve defining 'Multiple selection' as boolean, and then some string of code stating that if it is true, run the message box and don't run the macro, and if it is false, go ahead and run the macro. I just don't know how to write the code.

I have attached an example Excel file that shows what I am looking for. I have one sheet with a list of parts in inventory. Each part, we'll call them A-F, has a reorder point and will automatically detect whether or not the B column should say order or not. What I want is a second sheet that will list all the parts that need to be ordered continuosly, without the breaks where parts dont need to be ordered.

I have a range of 30 cells in a row. From that row there are groups of cells that have data that might be 1-7 cells populated in a row and in between these groups are blank cells in the row. I need to see what is the highest number of cells in a continuous row that contain data, what the mode is for continuous cell counts, and what is the average value for the data from the continuous cells. The average is a nice to have but not entirely necessary as most cell data will be fairly similar and I can get a close enough average just by knowing the average number of cells that contain data in a row. I have to do this calculation for about 1000 rows of individual data so its important a formula fit in one row.
Almost need a count function to count starting with each cell and then stopping at the first no no value it finds. Then it would show those counts and I could run a formula to pick the highest count and also show the mode of counts.
I will let the experts at it!, my weak mind could not think this one through. I thought something to do with MATCH for a while but no go from what I could do.

I see where I can use the following to bring up the color pallet
VB: AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred
when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes".
Sub MyColors()
' brings up the colors dialog
Application.Dialogs.Item(xlDialogColorPalette).Show
End Sub
But I don't know where to go from here. I would simply like to have cells selected, run the macro, select a color from the dialog, press the ok button, and have the selected cells colored per the color selected in the dialog. (Of course, pressing cancel would exit without changing any colors.)

I just loaded 2007, and among the things driving me nuts is I can't figure out how to change the color of highlighted cells that I have selected. The default color is so close to the normal background color(White) that it is difficult for me to distinguish between selected cells and unselected cells.
I've tried the built in help but couldn't seem to search for the right phrase to bring up a relevant answer. I've had the same problem when trying google and Microsoft's office 2007 help site. I also searched the forum before posting and came up blank.

How do I change the color of a row, based on the users selection from a drop down box in that row? I have four driving types in my drop down , Towing - Town Driving - All highway - Mixed. I would like each driving type, if selected, to change the color of the entire Row of Data to a different color. I have been able to use conditional formating to change the drop down cell itself, but that is it.

I've tried to do conditional formatting for each of the "Discipline" values in this spreadsheet but it is restricted to only 3. Is there a way around this? I'm trying to setup a color code for the "Discipline" values for example RN=Red, LPN=Blue, Social Worker=Orange, Chaplain=Purple, STNA=Yellow, Volunteer=Pink & Other=Green. So when the "Discipline" cell/cells on each of the patient sheets (ie. "Doe, Jane", "Doe, John", etc.) is equal to say RN the cell would then turn Red either on the spreadsheet or only when sheet is printed.

I have a dynamic drop down list using OFFSET and want to change a selection of cell colors based on the drop down selection. My drop down list is located in cell G4 and the cells I want to change are
=$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$B$11,$B$12,$C$12,$B$13,$C$13,$C$14,$C$15,$H$15,$H$14,$H$13.
These are random cells. There is no value in the cells, I just want to change the color from green to gray.

I am trying to use a userform ( Combo Box) to update my named cell "Aircraft1" then based on the value selected change the color of an object.
The code works great if I manually enter the value in the cell "Aircraft1", however if the dropdown list selects the value the object does not update its color.
Is there a way to update the cell via a combo box, and then have the VB code change the color of the object?
This is my
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("Aircraft1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Arrow1").Select
With Range("Aircraft1")
If .Value = 1 Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Arrow1").Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoTrue
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Solid
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 17

I am wondering, in excel 2003 is it possible to randomly select two numbers from one column, say column b9:b45, that are random numbers, and selected by two different font colors. In other words: b9=1348, b10=1349, b11=1350, b12=1351, b13=1352, b14=1353.
Say we press a macro button, and in field B50 one radom black colored number is selected of a field of say 30 numbers that are all black in that column, and in b51, one red number is selected, in a field of 30 red numbers. We want to used this macro to select winners simulating a raffle drawing.

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 have a rather large amount of data that comes to me very frequently in a bit of a mess and I have a need to somehow do the following:
I need to look for a cell that has date text in the format of 3 characters for the month followed by a four digit year i.e.Apr 2009 or Sep 2009 along with one marked YTD.
The cell then needs to be merged with the 2 adjoining cells to the right.
This heading structure repeats itself frequently over about 700 hundred rows so it will need to repeat itself until all date looking cells and YTD's have been merged with the 2 adjoing cells.

I want the representant to fill the form we have with number 1 or 0. The only things, it's some time My cells are merge for visual aspect of the form. I made it work with a single cell but now I'm facing a wall for merge cells. This is the code for a single cell:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("I9")) Is Nothing Then
Cancel = True 'Prevent going into Edit Mode
If Target = vbNullString Then
Target = "1"
Else
Target = vbNullString
End If
End If
End Sub

How we can automatically (with macro) merge & center cells with same value? For example if ranges A6, A7, A8 have the same value 09/20/06, find them & merge A6:A8 & get only one 09/20/06.

In the attached Excel file, the data has been place from d2 to dyo2.
For example, value "2607" is placed from cells va2 to wk2.
I need to merge cells from va2 to wk2.
I can't use horizontal alignment - center across selection because my boss wants it to merge only.
