In Excel 2003, when choosing colors for cell patterns, it only gives me the option of 40 colors. How do I get it to offer me the "More colors..." that you see when coloring shapes that brings up the hexagonal color pallette?
View 9 RepliesI am cross referencing products between two sheets. They come with different product numbers and I have modified them to search for the important last 5 digits from tab 1 (image 1 column D) with the full 11 digits in tab 2 (image 2 column E). The tab for cross referencing is named Distribution vlookup. I have the following formula and cannot get it to work properly. I have used this formula before in another similar report, and have adjusted the tab/file names and fields but I must be missing something since everything comes up as unauthorized, yet I can ctrl+f and find matching items.
VLOOKUP Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP(D4,'Distribution vlookup'!$E$6:$E$133,1,FALSE))=TRUE,"Authorized","NotAuthorized")
Next, I wanted to nest a color coding on whether the item has sold in the last 12 months (image 2, column H). I cannot get that to work, so I tried to run a seperate column to identify selling status and cannot get that ot work either.
Sold in last 12 months formula:
=IF('Distribution vlookup'!H7>0,"Sold in last 12 mos","n/a")
Can I automate an excel worksheet such that if ,say, "436" is written in a
certain cell it shades that row yellow, or if "437" is in that cell it
shades the row blue. It would then be easy to visually tell in an excel
chart which lines belonged to ,say, specific companies.

I have a work sheet with numerous cells coded one of two ways. Either a color of red or a color of green. Is there anyway to count how many times green cells show up? etc..?
I know I'd need to know the exact color but it would save a lot of time as I need to find out how many cells are of each color.
I am trying to assign a border and fill to cells, of identical colors, using VBA. Simple enough, yes? I am using the same RGB value for both the fill and the border, but in Excel 2003, they are assigned two different colors: the fill is the correct shade, but the border is not, which makes absolutely no sense to me. I could understand if both colors were slightly off from the shade I'm getting in 2007, but to have one be correct and the other not? I can manually assign the border to be the proper color, but this doesn't help.
The code is:
"I want to make a spread sheet where the "shading" changes based on the text entered into the cell. ie I want to be able to enter yellow into a cell and have the cell shading change to yellow."
THis was accomplished with the following ....
I am using excel 2003. I need to conditional formatting for the following:
Based on the column A, if it is USD, the next column show $ and the cell in blue
If it is JPY, the next column show Yuan sign and the cell in green
If it is Euro, the next column show Euro Sign and the cell in yellow.
How to make that happen?
I have a file that contains multiple rows of data. I built a macro that will then hide rows with a $0 balance. When the macro is completed, my spreadsheet is only showing the lines with a $ amount. (The $0 rows are hidden)
What I'd like to do is then format the unhidden rows so that each alternate row is color coded. This will separate the rows visually so I can more easily follow the rows across to view $'s per line.
I've attached a sample spreadsheet (it does contain the macro to hide the $0 rows). How can I then format the remaining rows with alternate shading?
I'm working on a criteria matrix in Excel 2010 that automatically plots a single member in a Scatter Chart based on the two values. There are 4 suppliers listed in Column D starting in cell D4 thru D7. The "x" value is listed in Column E starting in cell E4 thru E7. The "y" value is listed in Column F starting in cell F4 thru F7.
The scatter chart will plot the points correctly, however, there are two issues: 1) If I try to insert a data label using the "Series Name," or in this case, the supplier's name, it will lists ALL of the suppliers Column D. It will not list the single supplier listed in cell D4. 2) The scatter chart appears with gridlines as a 4x4 matrix with a total of 16 cells. The "x" and "y" axis both start at 0 and go to 4. I can shade the entire chart one color. However, I want to shade some of the cells with darker and lighter shades.
I am using Excel 2010 on XP. I would like to apply conditional formatting to shade every group in alternating color. For example, I have a list of US states. I have a formula already to produce this:
Current Conditional Formatting Formula: =MOD(SUM(1/COUNTIF($a$2:$a2,$a$2:$a2)),2)=1
STATES (unfiltered)
AL
AL
AK
AK
AK
AR
AR
AZ
AZ
AZ
When I apply a filter, the rows remain shaded as they were originally:
STATES (Filter OUT AK)
AL
AL
AR
AR
AZ
AZ
AZ
I want the conditional format to change when I have filtered out items (DESIRED RESULT):
STATES (Filter OUT AK)
AL
AL
AR
AR
AZ
AZ
AZ
I would assume SUBTOTAL(3,...) would need to be incorported into the conditional formatting formula above, but I do not know how.
i have a question with regards to the shading of a table in excel 2010.The grey/white shading of the sheet should adjust automatically when lines are inserted / deleted...what would be the most efficient way?

when I am in some of my spreadsheets, the background colors for the cells have changed. In fact the entire color selections are slightly different from what is normal. Then if I close out all sheets I have opened and reopen them in excel they are back to normal.

I am using excel 2010 and cant see the paste special options in any of the worksheets. If I restart my laptop then it shows up. I noticed that after opening Internet explorer, the options disappear once again and restarting the system brings them back.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Microsoft Excel 2003. I put color in my cells to show contrast with the information in my data list. I used blue and white for my cell colors. When I used sort to put my information in alphabetical order it did not only rearrange the information, it also rearranged the colored cells. My orginal pattern (before using sort) was blue, white, blue, white, blue, white. After I used sort, the pattern was changed to white, white, blue, white, blue, blue. Is there any way I can use sort to arrange my information only in alphabetical order, using sort, without rearranging the color of the cells?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow can we "read" information from the VBE Error Trapping options (Break on All Errors/ Break in Class Module/ Break in Unhandled Errors) programmatically?
Background: I am developping a spreadsheet that needs to be sent around to distant users. Some of them might not have the default "Break on Unhandled Errors" setting), which would just make my programme fail or risk to fail...
This issue has been covered in the thread below, but the proposed solution doesn't work on my side (always returning the same output!): [URL] .....
Hint: it has been suggested to look into the registry, which the linked post does.
Ideally, I would love to be able to change the setting programatically, but that seem near to impossible in excel 2007 VBA (unless calling an external programme that closes and restarts excel after having changed the option?...)
I have 64 code ie: a1.c4.f6 etc and 64 corresponding value ie: $160,$180,$200 etc.
How can I get excel to check all the options to give the correct valuation.
When I copy a cell with CTRL-C and paste elsewhere, a small clipboard pop-up appears to give paste options. The pop-up is the size of an average 'starter' cell. I find it a nuisance as it always covers a cell I might want to paste into, but I cannot see that cell anymore because of the pop-up. How can I get rid of the pop-up?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to do a drop down list that allow user to select pre-defined selections but everytime when a selection is chosen, the list reduced?
Example,
I have can choose Apple, Orange, Durian and Mango.
The drop down can only select these 4 fruits.
So there are 4 cells in Column A1, A2, A3, A4.
A1 selects Mango and then A2 will only have 3 options to choose. So until the last cell, he can only choose the last fruit left.
A1, A2, A3, A4 are not selecting in descending order thus it could be A3 selecting first, then A2 and then A4.

I'm working on a decision matrix to evaluate different alternative production methods. Before that criteria have to be choosen and weighted against each other. The user would fill out the yellow/ blue cells with (0=less important; 1=equally; 2=more). Then values are added up and put into some kind of ranking.
The example was done by hand, which costs a lot of concentration. I would now like to extend the matrix - do you know how to fill out the grey cells more efficiently?
(Excel 2007, Win7)
I'm currently using Excel 2010. Before, when ctrl+v'ing a cell that wasn't a number (but was, for example, a function), I could immediately after press ctrl, bring up a paste menu, and press v to paste as a value.
So before, if I had a range of cells that were functions (say something simple like "=D3/E3" on F3 and dragged down), I could do the following to paste the range into another worksheet:
1. Ctrl+shift+down to select the entire range
2. Ctrl+C
3. Ctrl+V into a different worksheet (at which point everything shows up as either "#DIV/0!" or as the wrong number, depending on cells to the left)
4. Ctrl (brings up the paste menu)
5. V (selects "values")
6. The entire range is now pasted as values, and not as functions
Recently, however, clicking on "ctrl" after pasting brings up no paste menu. I haven't changed any settings. I will lovingly serenade the first (and second, and third) man (or woman) that figure out what settings I must change or what I must do differently.
I 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).
T. A1 B1
Sample 1 1.2
Sample 2 2.1
Sample 3 1.7
Sample 4 5.6
I have a range of cells that change colors with conditional formats based on the cell value from high to low. I would like to link the cell color to an object such as a circle or rectangle. When the cell value changes along with the conditional format, the color of the object will also change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel 2003 file that contains hyperlinks to OneNote notebooks on a Sharepoint site. An Excel macro looks for these links and determines the full hyperlink address which is then assigned to a variable. An Outlook message is generated which includes the hyperlinks.
The hyperlinks work in the Excel file. I can also copy them from OneNote and manually paste them into an Outlook message and they work. However, when I obtain their full address and transfer that to the email through code, the links do not work. The hyperlink address from OneNote starts with "onenote:http" which is not recognized as a link.
If I can do this manually, there must be a way to do this with vba. Are there characters I need to include in the OneNote hyperlink address to make this work? Is there another way to transfer the working link from Excel to Outlook?

I am using Excel 2010 and I have a password protected workbook with password protected sheets that uses several macros. Most of them, in order to run, have to un-protect the sheet and then re-protect it again. This has been accomplished easily enough by adding ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:= "mypassword" and ActiveSheet.Protect Password:= "mypassword" to the appropriate places in the script. All of my macros, which do various things like sorting and moving data, deleting blank rows, displaying dialog boxes containing warning messages etc. run fine.
My problem is this: when I password protect the sheets manually, I have checked the following options in the "Protect Sheet" dialog box. Under "Allow users of this worksheet to" I have checked 1)Select unlocked cells and 2)Format cells. After entering my password and closing the dialog box my sheet is protected, but I can edit cells in the manner my allowances permit. However, once I run any of the macros that un-protect and re-protect the sheet, I remain able to select and edit unlocked cells (practically, for my purposes, this means that I can input data which will appear in the default font size and color of the sheet) but I cannot format cells (which, practically, for my purposes would allow me to occasionally change the font color and size of the data). Naturally, after running a macro, the other cell-formatting options are unavailable to me as well. Is there any way to get my manual selections to remain in place after running a macro that functions as mine do? Or is there any way to make my manual selections the default settings for a protected sheet?

What I want is to Colour Code the DAY column in case it is a holiday falling on a Monday or a Friday.
I have a spreadsheet I use to keep my bank balance in...
I have this forum at the VERY top of it to show my bank balance:
=G3+SUMIF(H4:H2999,"X",E4:E2999)-SUMIF(H4:H2999,"X",F4:F2999)
Once an item clears, I put an X in column H, and then it updates the balance at the top to make it so I can reconcile easily.
What I want to do is have every line without an X in column H to show up a shaded color... any easy way to do this?
