Conditional Formating: Highlight Cells Based On Text Of Another Cell
Aug 28, 2009
I have created a drop down box that allows me to choose multiple different Text Options. Example: Cell B4 has dropdown that lets me choose the Text Options, "House", "Car" and "Truck".
Next, I have 5 or so other columns underneath with their own text. What I want to do is have different cells highlight themselves depending on what is in Cell B4.
Example, if "House" is selected in B4, I want cells B7 and B9 to highlight. If "Car" is selected, I want cells B7, B8, and B10 to highlight. If "Truck" is highlighted, I want cells B9-B11 to highlight. Is this possible to do? I've tried using If/Then statements, but those don't seem to work for this type of thing.

I'm trying to get it so that a cell becomes automatically highlighted if 2 other cells conditions are met. For example, I want cell A5 to become highlighted if BOTH cell B1=Loan 1 AND cell B5=Yes. Here is a mockup of what I'm talking about incase it makes it easier to understand. I'm using Excel 2007.

I am now wanting to do if the the cell has an active conditional format also highlight that cell. Currently if the cell has an active conditional format nothing happens
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Static rngPrev As Range, PrevColor As Integer
Dim TempColor As Integer
TempColor = Target.Cells(1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex
If Not rngPrev Is Nothing Then rngPrev.Interior.ColorIndex = PrevColor
PrevColor = TempColor
With Target.Interior
.ColorIndex = 35
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
Set rngPrev = Target
End Sub

I have an excel file with 5500 records. I would like to have excel "color code" the rows based on a field's value
What I would like to do is have the value in column Y is:
*NO* or "T/P" (note there are *'s in the value) to have it formatted with Grey shading/Red text
"N/A" apply a different color shading
and if "yes" apply a 3rd shading
Note, that I would like to have the entire row and not just the Col Y cell formatted.
How can I do this? Would this slow down Excel alot?

I am trying to teach myself something new, say I have a list of numbers in two rows and I want to count the numbers and have it tell me if there are duplicates and highlight the duplicates. I got the part about getting Excel to tell me if there are duplicates but I can not seem to figure out the conditional formating part. I uploaded a sheet.

Is it possible to do a conditional formating based on a value being entered into the first cell of a row?
Basically when a date is entered into a cell in column A, I want the cells in that same row (A-J) to have a border, even if B-J do not have any value entered into them.

I am trying to create conditional formating of a cell based on the value of another cell whish is linked to another sheet. I an using the "The formula is =$AA$30=1" where the cell AA30 is the cell linked to the other sheet. the problem is I have to do thiss for approx 200 cells ie =$AA$30=1, =$AB$30=1, =$AA$31=1, =$AB$31=1 --- =$AZ$42=1. Do I have to enter the formulea for each cell or is there a way to automate this?

I have a sheet where i need to highlight cells C3:C140 based on approaching dates. The cells C3:C140 contain dates generated from another file and would be random approaching dates.
The conditions are
1) Approaching Weekends (Sat and Sun) = always turn red
2) 3 days after today = orange
3) 2 days after today = dark orange
4) Other days = light orange

Been hunting around the forums but cant seem to find quite what I want.
I want to specify the background of a cell to be red if the text in that cell contains a specific word.
e.g. cell a1 will have the text 'Rest of World' (without quotes). I want this to show as red if it contains the word 'of'.
Of course the cell may contain other words but this illustrates what I'm looking to achieve.
I tried the following conditional formula but this does not work:
=IF(SEARCH("of",H3)>1,1,0)

i have a list of customers with various information, i would like to rank these customers 1 to 5 and change the colour of the cells dependant on there rank.
Conditional formatting allows me too do this but is limited to 3 formats.
I have Columns A-K filled with data and want the condition to be set on column B if Column B meets a requirement it will then colour that Row (A-K)
So for example Row 3:
B3 = the requirement to change colour to red so cells A3:K3 will turn red
B4 = the requirement to change colour to gree so cells A4:K4 will turn red
and this must go down to row 1000 or whatever it may be.

I need a macro that will highlight a row based on a cell criteria. I have used conditional formatting but there is a lot to format and has dramatically slowed the sheet down. However, I know nothing about macros/vbas.
E.g. If it states JI sent then I want the whole row to be highlighted light green.
App form needed = peach
Waiting list = light blue
Cancelled = red font strikethrough
DNA = purple font strikethrough.
Also - it could well be that in the row it has App form received, JI Sent and DNA all in 1 go. So ideally I would want that row to be highlighted light green with purple font strikethrough.
Booking Status
JI Status
Date JI Sent
Attendance
Cancellation date
Chargable / non chargable Cancellations
Chargeable / non chargeable DNA
Date taken
Time taken
Event Title
Start Date
Time
App form received
JI Sent
[Code] ......

I have an excel spread sheet & I wish to highlight any cell that contains any of the following characters with in a string of text.
/ : * " < > ? |
E.g. a cell in the spread sheet containing the text "Is this a Question?" would be highlighted.
I have tried to use - 'Format only cells that contain' > Specific Text > Containing > for each of the characters and this does not work.
When I do this any cell containing any text is highlighted.
In addition there is formatting on any cell > 60 characters which turns the cell red and this works fine.
What would happen if (when I get the problem above resolved), a cell is > than 60 characters & contains a character listed above?
Does 1 formatting take precedent over another?
(Not critical to know the answer to the additional question, just curious - as long as it is highlighted one colour or another then no problem.)

I'm using Excel 2007. I would prefer to stay away from the scripting side of the house if possible. This is basically a 3 day forcast weather chart. The top is the actual weather data, the bottom portion is a color coded reflection of how the weather affects various things.
This product is created in excel, but will be embedded into a powerpoint. It will be updated daily. Here is what I would like. I want the color chart at the bottom to update automatically based on the data I enter above. I have a grasp that I can update the color through conditional formatting, although im not exactly sure what that will look like with all of those cells.
I also figured out that I can insert the letters in those lower cells with something similar to " =IF(C6>90, "T", "") " which would put in a 'T' for Temperature when the temperature got above a certain degree.
I run into a problem when I have multiple factors affecting a single cell. For instance on the example in day 2 of my image. Personnel are affected by Temperate AND UV Index. How would I set up that cell to pull that information from both of those cells and display it accordingly? I would prefer the letters to stay separated by the comma, but I could live without that. The default cell color will be green, with the potential to be yellow or red. I left a few examples of possible situations on day 2 and 3.

I have a single column of data that is, perhaps, 100 rows long.
I have ticks, crosses and 'N/A' in various cells within this column. There are no cells that are blank.
I want to count the number of ticks within the column and want to be able to say:
If the number of ticks is = 100% then it's green.
If the number is >75% and <100% then it's amber.
If the number <75% then it's red.
I also want to exclude the N/A cells from the % calculation.

I have used VBA to apply conditional formating to a range of cells. i.e if cell B14 <>"" then row 14 is pale blue untill cell V14 is populated with the time then it removes the formating. One criteria is that if Q14(21/08/06 20:00)>NOW(AA2) and < NOW+1(AA3) then Row turns green(i.e. is due in the next 24 hrs).
Problem is that this formula is applied after a field is updated. When 21/08/06 20:00 comes and goes the row remains green unless I update one of the fields along that row. What would I have to do to make the formating change back automatically when the critera is no longer being met. Here is my codethere are 2 other if statements similar to this with in this code but this is the only part that shouldn't require any user input for the formatting to occour)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B13:AP162"
On Error Goto ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If Me.Cells(.Row, "AP").Value = "YES" And _
Me.Cells(.Row, "Y").Value <> "" Then
Me.Cells(.Row, "B").Resize(, 30).Interior.ColorIndex = 43 'mad green
Else
End If
End With..................

I have been using Conditional Formating to change the backgound color of the cells, this works fine. However it cannot be used with a userform text box. There I believe that the use of If Then Else statements will sort out the problem.
I have developed three conditions:
1) D10 less than E5 result True
2) D10 less than F5 result True
3) D10>E5 result False
using that result background color to turn green
Next condition
1) D10 less than E5 result False
2) D10 less than F5 result True
3) D10>E5 result True
using that result background color to turn yellow
Next condition
1) D10 less than E5 result False
2) D10 less than F5 result False
3) D10>E5 result False
using that result background color to turn red
What I cant seem to do is combine the three instances above so that the cell back color changes.
This is so easily done using the built in conditional format function but I'm have a difficulty understanding how to make this work.

I have a list of names in Column B (Starting at B5) with assignments to them in Column A. I want the people who receive the file, to enter their name in B1 exactly as it appears multiple times in sheet. And hope to use conditional formatting to highlight (change the back ground color) of each cell their name appears in.
I've used a number of formulas in the Conditional formatting including "=(ISNUMBER(MATCH($B5:$B100,$B$1,0)))", Countif's and "Not(isnumber)..." but can't find a formula that picks up the whole text.

I have a large X-Y-axis table with about 200 entries in it. There are 6 different entries possible. I now want to give each possible entry in this table a color for making it easier to read.
I could write a formula in conditional formating, so that it works for 3 colors. The problem is now that i can make this only for 3 different colors in conditional formating of excel. Is there a possibility for making this for 6 colors?

I am trying to have conditional formatting of cells apply only if another cell is blank in 2007. A3 has a formatting of =MOD(ROW(),2)=1, then =AND (A3<>"",A3+15<=$G$1) to change the color based on date and finally =AND(A3<>"",A3+30<=$G$1) to again change the color again by date. What I would like to do is for the cells in columb A to change only if corresponding columb B cell is empty, without using macros if possible.

I have a spreadsheet where if Cell A2 says "Deposit", Rows A2-E2 would be formatted with a Blue background.
I've tried conditional formatting, but I can't built it into a Macro (I can't make it run), and it only highlights the cell that has that value. I also tried having the spreadsheet filter down to only the values I want highlighted, then highlighting all cells and un-filtering the column- this didn't work either.
It would basically say :
If (any cell in Row A) has text = "Deposit" (it needs to be exact, it can't be "containing"), set cell with the word "Deposit" and 4 cells to the right as Blue (I'm not picky about the color).
