I am currently using a piece of code (within a bigger piece) that colours the dates in two columns based on how close it is to the current date. It works fine but sometimes the sheet it is looking in has over 3500 rows so it is taking for ever (well over 6 mins)
The code is
HTML Code:
Sub ColDate() 'date case opened
application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim MyRg As Range
Dim F As Range
Dim DateDiff As Long
Set MyRg = Range("g1:h" & Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
For Each F In MyRg
I am trying to get a row of cells to highlight a percentage based on a date range
Below is an example of what my spreadsheet will look like, very simple for managers to read and understand but I am stuck on how i can get this to display the right way.
In the example i would need the Jan column to colour for a certain percent for 21 days and continue to feb for 26 days. Im not sure if this makes sense but this is what they are asking for. Colour bars to simple show the percent of days off each month.
Name Start Date End Date Jan Feb Mar
Dale 11/01/14 26/02/14 21 days 26 days
I have attached the spreadsheet for an example : Book1.xlsx
I have a column for each month where the dates are entered on rows. Is it possible I can color a cell if the date entered in a cell for that month is 15 days past the end of the month. Like, if in a January column I enter a date on one of the rows as Feb.20, then the cell fills with red colour. I tried doing it using conditional formatting, but don't know how to say 15 days past end of the month?
I've been trying to get a macro together which would colour all the tabs in my workbook based on whether or not a certain value exists in a certain cell. In this case the cell is C7 and the word there is "elective class:".
I have a spreadsheet that contains data I import from various sources. Once the import is complete I need to colour various cells based on their contents. Normally I'd use conditional formatting, but there are more than 3 conditions so I need to use VBA (preferrably that i can turn into a macro and assign to a button to click once I've finished the imports each time)
eg: Everytime a cell content is the word "RED" , colour it red - then the same with various other colours.
Google has found me a change event piece of code but it doesnt work when you're cutting and pasting some info.
As you can see from below I already have a spreadsheet which updates the fill colour of cells based on a certain criteria. This was initially set up in Excel 2003....I have now moved onto 2010 and want to use a certain colour based on it's RGB value. I tried as you can see from below, the part which is commented out (as it didn't work)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim n As Long, lngIndex As Long For n = 6 To 842
I have a rather large database that I'm trying to automate colours in, based on data that is inserted into Column 'D'. I've used the following code (with some success), but it colours columns that I don't want to colour:
VB: Sub KeyCellsChanged() Dim Cell As Object For Each Cell In Range("D1:D5000")
[Code].....
That works fine - but the problem I have is that I only want to colour columns A:N, Q, T, V, AB:AE, etc. (random columns and not always together). I have already tried to replace parts (as follows), but get all sorts of errors (in particular Run-time error 1004):
VB: If Cell = "Rabbit" Then Cell.Range("A:N,Q, T, V, AB:AE").Interior.ColorIndex = 42
Is there someway that a line of code can determin which cells to colour in the row, or alternatively code that will colour the columns a specific colour and make them stay that colour when the first code above is used?
how I might be able to colour certain cells in a row a specific colour when a specific value is input.
For instance: The value "A" is put into row A1. A1 and C1 cell colours change to green The value "B" is put into row A2. A2 and C2 cell colours change to orange etc. (not sure how many colours yet)
I sort of have a script set up, but there are certain things I dont know how to do. Like target the specific cells that need colouring.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 0 Then Exit Sub Select Case Target.Value Case "A" Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 1 Case "B" Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 2 Case "C" Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Case Else Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 End Select End Sub
I'm trying to automatically shade a number of cells dependant on the value in a single cell. ie. If D2="quote" then I want A2:Q2 to be yellow. If D2="Design" then I want A2:Q2 to be green etc etc. I have about 6 options in all of what D2 could be. I then want to repeat this for about 200 rows.
I'm a teacher and would like to show progress in my pupils achievements by colouring coding cells in excel. For each subject they are given a level, e.g. 2b. If they show progress, they would move up, i.e. to a 2a. The whole progress scale is shown below:
To make the spread sheet visual i would like colour code the cells depending on whether progress has or has not been made. If they go up (e.g. 2b to 2a) i would like the cell to turn green, if they go down (e.g. 2c to 1a) i would like the cell to turn red. If not progress has been made then the cell can stay uncoloured. Each cells colour would only be dependent on the cell directly to the left.
This is a project plan with tasks and dates. Column A is the activity number. (Example 1, 2, 3" etc). Column B is the task (Ex. "Complete Report"). Column C is number of days required to complete the task. Column D is the dependency column. (Ex. Cell D2 =1 in other words Task 2 is dependent on task 1). Column E is the date.
I would like to have a seperate start date cell and a go live date cell.
The objective is to enter a start date, and have each column E date increase based on the number of days entered in Column C. If a task is dependent on another and I change the number of days in Column C I need the dependent task to change the same amount of days.
If cell A2 has the number 5 in it (as a result of a calculation in that cell), is it possible to get the next five cells in that cell to colour themselves in?
Obviously, as and when the value in cell A2 changes, i need the number of cells coloured in to change as well.
In addition to this, the rows that this will happen in will vary week to week so i'm not sure if VBA is the way to do this.
Also would there be any problem with negative figures as when that happens i don't want any cells to colour in at all.
Is there anyway to have columns automatically be hidden based upon a cell value? I have a column for each month, and I would only like to show months that have occured, and keep future months hidden from view. I have the current month end date in cell a1 and the following columns each have a date as the header?
Just trying to work out the best way to be able to determine autoshape colours using cell values. For example I have 12 shapes that need to coloured either Red, Green or Orange depending on a specific cells value, 1 for Red, 2 for Green and 3 for Orange.
I have sort of managed to successfully complete this for 1 of the shapes, by using the RGB Fill option (Using 3 = Red, 4 = Green and 45 = Orange). But cannot for the life of me work out how to do this for multiple shapes using different cell triggers. Below is the code that I currently have and the spreadsheet that is linked to:
How do i have colouring to a reference cell what i mean is that on certain formula i get BUY or Sell on that cell. As per the conditional formatting i have made the colour change BLUE FOR "BUY" & RED FOR "SELL"
On second sheet i link the above TEXT., but the COLOUR OF THE TEXT Does not come.
Does CONDITIONAL Formatting come with reference cell.
I have a gone through quite a few topics in this forum.....but couldnt find answer to my question....may be because its too basic. I have a worksheet with 10 columns. I am trying fill colour in the rows that have "text" in column J (in other words.....their column J is not blank). I figured out how to fill the colour in the cells in column J when they are empty, but cant figure out how to colour the entire row from A:J.
I have a date in a cell that when it is less than today() (so yesterday's date) would turn red and the 5 cells to its immediate right would also turn red, if the date is still current then it would be green and so would the right hand cells.
Attached simplified sheet gives background - but need to update the cells in the aggregate monthly table C44:C55 based on data in single cell above, and according to the correct month. Need do this without the previous months data changing.
Month is determined by cell E8 and data to be updated to the agg month range is to come from cell C15. The month date will change automatically as will the data in C15.
I have one excel sheet. In the first column there are various Project Codes and in the first row there are various date. Cells in the matrix contains 0 or 1 value. If value is equals to 1 that means the project was on hold during this months and if the cell value is null of 0 (Zero) it means the project was active. For a project in a particular row there are several times a project went on hold and now I want a date range showing the project's hold duration. If project went on hold more than one time the result should also give different range for each time when project went on hold.
I would like to filter between a date range. the dates i need to filter between are in cells A1 and A2. this range contains the start and end of month. It is referenced from another sheet in the same workbook (='Job List'!C2).
i want to filter; greater than or equal to A1 and less than or equal to A2. How I can do it using the advanced filter method. My data range is C2:C9.
I have a range (D5:BU5) that I will have various dates in each cell. At the end of the row is a percentage block. It has the formula count=(D5:BU5)/70 which gives me a percentage complete. The fun begins where some dates are based off annual, semi-annual, and quarterly. What I want to do is be able to delete cell values so they are not reflected in the final percentage. I know there is a marco that deletes the entire row but that is too much I just want a target cell.
I have a spreadsheet that i use as a log for recording when certain tasks have been completed.
Each worksheet in the workbook represents one month. Within each month, there are monthly tasks and weekly tasks. Currently i manually unlock the relevant weekly cells at the beginning of each week, and lock them again at the start of the next week. Similarly with the monthly task cells.
Is there a way for Excel to automatically unlock the relevant cells based on date so i don't have to go through this task at the start of every week and every month?
I am trying to make a certain cell range turn red on the week that a cell has listed.
What this is being used for is to track the work of our contractors, and I currently have this set up to auto calculate the jobs that are being done and when, but I would also like to include something in there that when the contractor is set to head back to India, that day forward is listed as "red" under his name. This will allow me to see if I need to extend his work based on the number of hours he has left in his jobs. I will attach the picture of it...on the top you will see dates, and the pivot table on the bottom shows when he will need new work, but I am going to add a field that has the date he is set to leave, this is what I want the coloring of fields to go off of! ...
A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I/J/K April 2008 / August 2008/Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr/May/Jun/Jul/Aug/Sept/Oct....
How can I get excel to fill in a constant number say '3' automatically based on the date range in column A and B. For example, in this case Since the date range is from April to August how can I get excel to automatically fill in 3 for apr/may/jun/jul/aug
I need to allow only the cells covered in the date (example today is 30 May) to be unlock for data entry. However i need the rest of the cells to be lock. The date should refer as =today().
I currently have some code which reads a stock file, adding up the stock for each individual item (which may be in one or more locations in the warehouse) and then placing the total stock count in a cell with the detail (of how much stock is in each location, the location and the expiry date) and a separate line for each location, in a comment.
The comment is constructed one line at a time as the code finds the stock records, see code below:
With shtWorking.Range(strStartColumn & intRow + 2) oldComment = .Comment.Text .Comment.Delete .AddComment oldComment & vbNewLine & strComment .Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True End With All this works very nicely, but I want to colour individual lines depending on the expiry date. This can be done manually in Excel, but I cannot find a way of colouring individual lines of text in a comment using VBA.
So, does anyone know of a way I can colour individual lines of text in a comment, using VBA?
I'm trying to work out how to have cells R11 - Rxx generate the correct date, based on the rest of the calculations.
Please note that the attached is a crude cut down version of the larger spreadsheet, for the purpose of highlighting my problem.
SO, if E7 is changed, subsequently the values in K11:Rxx will be respectively updated.
D12 and G12 are entered manually. (although I'll probably make these drop downs or date choosers at some point...)
Depending on the value in E7 and time in D12, the required break period is listed in K11: Kxx.
The time that these periods of rest are required to occur before is then calculated and listed in O11:Oxx.
I need R11:Rxx to calculated the appropriate date from these calculations, relative to the date in G12.
For example, the rest required in K11, is required on the same day, as such it need to populate with the value in G12.
However the rest required in K13:Kxx, is required by a time (O13:Oxx) on the following day - G12+1
In some case, this time variance could run over 2 or more days.
I figure it's got something to do with the value in D12 also including the date of 0/1/1900.
I'm happy to add hidden cells for formulas/results to work around it, as the end product will print as an A4 document, where many cells will be locked. Would prefer not go with any VBA unless it's my only option as I haven't done any VBA stuff as yet.
NB (the value in P5 is static only in this example)
I own 3 restaurants and I use Excel to track my sales statics. I have to enter certain pieces of data on a daily basis and it can become slightly cumbersome when dealing with the sort of washed out look of Excel spreadsheets. I wanted to write a Windows application that would handle the process for me but my knowledge of programming languages is too limited and I don't really have the time to learn. What I'd like is to have a single page on my workbooks with which I can enter the data in on a field type view, and have it go to the appropriate cell on the "Raw" data sheets in the same workbook. For example:
Let's assume this is the Raw data sheet. I currently enter the data that I need here, and Excel does the rest for me. This gets hard to look at everyday when dealing with hundreds of numbers.
Net Sales Taxes Prior Year Sales Percent Increase/Decrease
[Code].....
Entering the data here would automatically fill in the data on the Raw sheet, and would know which cells to put the data into based on the date, which would of course be gotten from the =Today() formula.
