Colouring Non-contiguous Cells With VBA
Dec 4, 2012
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?

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.

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 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
[code]...

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:
wc,wb,wa,1c,1b,1a,2c,2b,2a,3c,3b,3a,4c,4b,4a,5c,5b,5a,6c,6b,6a,7c,7b,7a
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.

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 would like to be able to count the amount of entries in column C and depending on the amount group them in either groups of 3 or 4, all names would be unique...so if there are 14 names in the list they would need to be grouped in to two groups of 4 and two groups of 3, if there were 19 then 4 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3 etc to a maximum 50 people, the results could appearon a seperate worksheet say pasted on to the worksheet starting with the groups of 3 (so paste a group of 3 then skip 3 rows then paste groups of 4 skip 2 rows, the row skipping is to allow seperation and manual entry of extra data). There will never be groups of 5 or more and never less than 3

Copying and pasting into non-contiguous cells.
I want to be able to filter my data set, so for example I can filter column A for the value Berkshire, I then want to be able to select all the Berkshire's in Column A (not a problem, simply select them and copy), but I then need to be able to paste them into column B, so they appear in exactly the same rows as they do in Column A, but this doesn't work, it pastes them into hidden cells as well.
I've tried the Alt + ; (Visible Cells Only) option, followed by copy and paste and this makes no difference.
I have over 20,000 rows of data to filter, then copy the relevant cells and move to the same row in another column and currently I'm having to move the cells one by one which is ludicrous.

Am looking for routine that can be used to delete the contents of cells from multiple, non-contiguous cells throughout a single worksheet. I would like to place a "button" or some form of toggle-switch on the worksheet that will clear all entries at once. I see a thread "Macro Deleting Wrong Cells" that references a VBA sub-routine called "DelCells". I happen to be running Excel 2007 and am still adjusting to the new menu "structure" :-)

Excel VBA. I have a problem which is frustrating me almost beyond measure, but I am convinced that the answer is a simple one.
sub a() copies the values of 3 non-contiguous cells and pastes them as contiguous cells. This is simple as the cell addresses to be copied are absolute.
VB:
Sub a()
Dim x As Integer
x = 6
Range("A1,C1,E1").Copy
Cells(x, "H").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End Sub
Sub b() copies a range of contiguous cells, including empty cells, and pastes them as contiguous cells, including empty cells. This is simple because I have specified a "range" of cells with variable addresses.
VB:
Sub b()
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Long
x = 6
y = 1
Range("A" & y & ":E" & y).Copy
Cells(x, "H").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End Sub
However, what I really want to do is copy 3 non-contiguous cells with variable addresses similar to sub b (ie. 'A' & y, 'C' & y, 'E' & y) and paste them as contiguous cells (without empty cells) as in sub a ().
What is the correct way to specify the cells to be copied?

I have a cricket excel sheet that contains batsmans scores over a season. These scores are kept in non-contiguous cells for each game (ie. D5, J5, P5, V5 etc..) In the cell next to the score is an option for the user to enter an '*' to denote a not out score (these are in E5, K5, Q5, W5 etc.)
I can sort out a formula to find the highest score (from D5, J5, P5, V5) and place this high score in a cell elsewhere - but what I really need to do is to check if the high score is not out by looking to see if there is an asterisk in the adjacent cell, and then place the score AND asterisk in another cell.

If I select a group of non-contiguous cells with control shift is there any way that I can shift the same selection over to the next column. For example, I have A4 and A8 selected. When I press shift and right arrow it doesn't work.

Lets say I have values in A1, A3 and A5 and I want to to build either a sumif or an sum if array formula to conditionally sum them. How do I do this, assuming I don't want to use VBA or named ranges, i.e. create an array of noncontiguous cells and evalute & sum them.

I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns. I need to save values from each specific column, but they are not non-contiguous, to a .txt or .csv file. In other words, I may need B:10, B15, B12, B25, etc. saved as one string in a text file. I have been working on this for about 15 hours and can't seem to get it to work.

I have a spreadsheet named PRODUCTS and in row A there are a bunch of product codes. I would like for the user to be able to use the CTRL and mouse to select all the products that they want and then once they push that button I would like it to paste the user selected cells into a sheet called Quote starting at A7.

I have a column that has mostly empty cells. I want to select only the ones that have data so I can perform an operation on all of them. Empty cells must be excluded from selection. I do not know where the bottom of the data is.
The solution needs to be in VBA where it is part of a larger macro affecting the user's worksheet.

I want to paste a group of non-contiguous cells, and paste the values elsewhere on the sheet while maintaining the same relative position. is this possible via macro somehow?
for example, in column A i want to copy A1,A2,A5,A9; and paste into D1,D2,D5,D9 in one step.

I am working with several columns of data, and each column's range is stored in a range array. My program needs to use a specififc combination of the columns as the second argument sent to the regress function. In certain cases, the columns I am referencing are not contiguous, so the function won't work. Here's an example:
Suppose we're working with 3 independent variables (a simple case) whose data is stored in three contiguous columns named x1, x2, and x3. The program I've written will call the regress function 6 times: once using x1, once using x2, once using x3, once using the union of x1 and x2, once using the union of x1 and x3, once using the union of x2 and x3, and once using the union of x1, x2, and x3. Suppose the range for x1 is d5:d18, the range for x2 is e5:e18, and the range for x3 is f5:f18. Also, each union of ranges is stored as one element in an array called Combos, which is sent to the regress function.
The regress function returns an error when prompted to calculate regression stats for columns x1 and x3 because they aren't contiguous. I need to know if there is some sort of way around this. write a procedure that will detect if the ranges being input to the regress function are contiguous, and if they are not, copy them to a new worksheet so they will be contiguous and then send the new range references to the regress function for calculation purposes? Is there an easier way around this issue? If I can't get this to work, my entire program is wasted.

I would like to average a non-continuous range of cells while also excluding all zeros.
I am averaging hours worked and the hours are found in cells:
B2, D2, F2, H2, J2, L2, N2
Some of these cells contain zeros at this time and I do not what to include the zeros in the average.
I have found formulas that would work but they are all with continuous cell ranges.

The application reads in a file, whcih can have various formats. To check which format it's in, I plan to look for certain empty fields/ cells. I can successfully detect a group of empty cells by explicitly testing each one, but when I put them all in a range and test that, the check fails. So far I've reduced the problem to the following example code.
Sub check_clear()
Range("g1:g8").clear
If IsEmpty(Range("a1")) Then
Range("g2") = "A1 empty"
End If
If IsEmpty(Range("b1")) Then
Range("g3") = "B1 empty"
End If
If IsEmpty(Range("c1")) Then
Range("g4") = "C1 empty"
End If
If IsEmpty(Range("d1")) Then
Range("g5") = "D1 empty"
End If..............
The result is that each individual cell check results in the relevant "XX empty" message. However, the test that the range of multiple cells is empty never produces a result. I'd really like to understand the underlying reason - as well as find out how to perform an isEmpty test on a range. I'm looking more for guidance and insight than a canned solution
