I'm trying to conditional format a cell that contains a formula that when the formula returns anything other than "" the cell contains a border.
My formula within the cell is referencing another worksheet
=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1)
Ideally the formula within the conditional format would be
=NOT(ISBLANK(Sheet1!$A$1))
but it isn't possible to reference another worksheet within a conditional format.
I found this code (compliments of Andy Pope) which fills a background color based on its corresponding cell value. (then offsets all uniformly)

Lets say i have cells
A
B
B
A
A

These are single cells running downwards only. I want to format this 6 cells into 1 box using (outside borders) formating. I need to repeat this for every 6 cells into 1box...and continue on and on. Im doing this process manually...But i got like 100,000 cells...
I have a list that, how do i create a border that data contains formula (formula not display/blank)...
i want to create dynamic border with condition if data display/showing must be border shown too...
for this, i want to line "TOTAL" in column AD expands up, based on data display/showing...
note : in cell AF2 as parameter/controller to show data by month (type 2 instead February or 3 --March etc...)
Border thickness limitations with conditional formatting.
I have a sheet that is formatted to fit on an A4 sheet. The text sizes are all defined to make it easy to read. I have two predefined border sizes on the sheet.
Thick for major section division
Thin for sections within the major section
The border color is Red regardless of thickness
There are cells that do not have borders
I have a need to change all existing border colors to Green when a cell has a particular value in it.
When I use conditional formatting, I only want to change the color not anything else but it always changes the existing thick lines to thin. This completely mucks up the layout because the row height and column width changes when the thick borders are changed to thin.
Is there any way at all to create a rule, or formula, or anything, that only changes the existing border color and nothing else?
I have a dynamic table (rows regularly added or deleted) that is generated automatically based on choices made by the user in another worksheet. I need a function that will examine all the cells in one column, and when it finds a difference between two cell entries, it will change the border between these two entries to dark (medium weight), and then extend this border across the table. The end result should be that wherever the cell contents differ within a column, the table is divided by a darker border across the entire row.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use conditional formatting to colour the border of a range of cells when another cell has data in it.
I can get it to color all the cells borders within that range when there's data in that cell but I just want the outside of the entire range.
Possible to create a macro that would detect end page (jumping from page 1 to page 2 for instance) and add a bottom border at the last row of the page.
I have attached a sample where I highlight in green the end of the page and added manually the bottom border (I did it only for the first end pages).
how to make conditional formatting for border line (top & bottom) after repeat 5 data/text ....
it's possible with CF formula and do not vba?
see my excel file attached..
This seems so simple but i looked everywhere and i cannot find the vba script to add a 3 point solid black line border around the chart and plot area of my graphs. The record macro option does not record this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Sheet ( Named "Summary" for Example ) of about 4,000 Rows that has a LOT of Conditional Formatting.
I Added Another 100 Rows this Morning and when I Tried Saving it a Message Saying that Not All the Formatting for the New Data that had Been Added had Been Saved. Is there a Macro or Something I can Run that will Make the Conditionally Formatted Cells Stay the Colour that they are but Delete the Conditional Formatting Part of it Achieved Using "Format" & "Conditional Format" from the Menu Please.
Ideally I would like to be Able to Enter the Number of Rows ( From Row ? to Row ? ) that I want this to Apply to.
I have five fields that have a conditional format applied to them: (see attached).
Columns J, K, L, N and O. These conditionals highlight if a minimum number is entered. Ex. Minimum pushups for a 30 y/o male is 27, if a 26 is entered it highlights red. The total score (where I need this to perform) is calculated in column Q. It will format red if the total score is below 75 but what I can't figure out is how to make it format if any of the previous minimums have not been met.
Ex. In cell L4, his crunches were 25 (a automatic failure -- red formatting). Now the total score is above 75 so it calculates as passing (green), but I need it to highlight red regardless because of the minimum not met in cell L4.
I have a range which has conditional formats based on other cells. I want to copy this range into another sheet and retain the current formats as fixed formats without copying the conditional formulae. ideally in VBA.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to change the format of cell AI3 based on the format of cell C3 and D3? I have C3 and D3 set to turn red based on what is in cell C2 and D2. I would like the following done:
If AI3=C3 & C3 is red, format AI3 blue
If AI3=D3 & D3 is red, format AI3 blue
Otherwise, leave AI3 unformatted.
Possible???
I need to run a loop through a column of values (attachment col B) and when it finds a "J" it will apply conditional formatting to a row of 4 cells directly adjacent. The attachment is a theoretical before & after.

I have a tab called SAP DUMP where we copy our raw data to, from here we manually copy and paste into another sheet called ORDER TRACKING SHEET. When we do a fresh dump (overwrite) of raw data into the SAP DUMP tap we need to see if the there is a new entry which needs to be copied across to the ORDER TRACKING SHEET. I've got a vlookup to show this. The one I can't work out is that on the ORDER TRACKING SHEET I also need to see if there are any entries are now no longer on the SAP DUMP tab. This is where I thought a condition format might work, color the line red if it's no longer on the SAP DUMP tap. Can't make it work.....
I have a workbook with 12 worksheets corresponding to months. Each is formatted in A1 with the month (Date, Jan-01) and all rows below, starting at A5, are the days of the month (Custom, ddd d). All cells are linked so they change accordingly with A1.
I'm trying to apply conditional formatting so that all Fridays will have light grey shading across the row. I can get it to shade every 7th row using the MOD & ROW functions, but the shaded row changes with subsequent months and years (not necessarily Fridays). Can I get it to recognize every Friday through the year.

Disregard the First Table. I cant remove it. refer to the Second Table
This table is a Task Tracker. The Start Button Adds the Current Date in Enercon's Row C1 and the row below (C2) will automaticaly filled with color using Conditional Formating. My Question is how can I code a conditional format for Trail1 Rows. For example when Trail1 Cell is active then you click the start Button instead of Coloring D2 Cell it should Color D3 Cell.
Here is the Code in Start Button
Sub cmdStart_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Results = MsgBox("Are you working on " & ActiveCell.Value & " today ?", vbOKCancel, "")
If Results = vbOK Then
With Sheets("Sheet1")
i = .Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1
.Cells(2, i).Value = Now()
i = i + 1
End With
Else
Range("A1").Select
End If
End Sub

I would like to conditionally format a column of cells such that it formats when a cell's text equals to that in another column.
Example, in column A I have
1 Cat
2 Dog
3 Mouse
...
In B I have
1 Chicken
2 Mouse
3 Monkey
...
58 Cat
Based on the B column I would like to highlight A3 Mouse and A1 Cat.
Additional complexity, In B I have
1 Chicken Mouse Dog
2 Rat Monkey Fish
3 ...
Given that this is the format I have the text in how would I search column A and conditionally format A2 and A3.

My original argument was:
Maybe I'm getting a blank, maybe the answer is so easy, but lately I canīt solve this: How do I use conditional format to change cell color if cell value (date) is not workday?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn column B I could have blank, text or text containing the word "track" or "Track". In column C I could have Blank, "yes" or "Yes" or "no" or "No"
Only if B text contains "track" or "Track" and/or C contains "yes" or "Yes" I want to conditionally format B.
This does not work:-
=OR(FIND("track",B1,1),FIND("Track",B1,1),C1="yes",C1="Yes")
I have a table where Sales are in Column B and a % calculation is in Column E. I want to highlight the cells in green that are over 40% and that also meet the criteria where the sale in that row is above $100.
In conditional formatting I tried to use =and(b4>100,e4>40%) but it did not do anything. I am also okay with using a nested if statement.
is there a way to have a cell display a certain text if it is empty?
i.e. i would like all the blank rows in a section of my spreadsheet to have a grey fill and display the text "Please input your description here" if the cell is blank.
I want to be able to change the font color of the numbers in a column based on even or odd. I selected the columns and formated them to all be blue... thats the color I want for even, but now I can't figure out how to set a condition that checks for odd numbers and changes them to red. I now have a count of even/odd for all records, and even/odd for the last 30, this provided some very interesting results.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI m creating a sheet in excel where I need to do some conditional formatting but need more than 3 rules so i'm guessing i'll need to use some vb code.
Basically I have a range of cells say from c12 to ag15
These cells all have formulas in linking to other cells in other sheets.
Tha values that will be in them are as follows: s, h, hd,ooo,z and maybe 1 or 2 more will be added later. I need the cells background and text colour both to change to a colour depending on the value in the cell.
eg. cell value = s then background and text colour both to be yellow.
Need multiple conditional format for more than 3 condition. I don't know how to write code in VBA.

(this data then tells us we need to chase these items)
I'm trying to set up a conditional format using a two way lookup. The chart is 15 colums across and perhaps 500 down. Index / Match functions do find the correct value - BUT - the challenge is there ARE duplicate values in either the column or row that are "all" getting highlighted with the conditional format (color a cell).
