I was wondering it were possible to reference an error. I'd like a cell to have white text if $O19 produces a #N/A error. I tried formula
=($O19=#N/A)
and the formula
=($O19="#N/A")
The entries are made in Columns A thru C. In Columns F and G I want any value over 100% to have a red background, any value less than 100% to have regular formatting, and I'd want percentages to have white font if an employee is deleted from Column A.
Here's an example of how I have the formatting set up:
Condition 1: Formula is =$E$2="" --->white font
Condition 2: Cell value is >1 ---->red background
Condition 3 Cell value is </= 1 ---->normal format
I can set a cell to format if its own cell contains an error, but is there a way to conditional format if the next cell over contains an error? For example, turn A1 red if B1 contains an error?

I need if the word "Ordered" is in B5 I need X (crosses) in the date cells starting from B6 to end of month until someone changes B5 to Delivered then I need the X to disappear.

I need to make the Red X at the top firght of my user form "End" rather than "Exit Sub" which I think it is trying to do now, as simply exitting the sub returns it to the previous sub which opens the form again.

In column B (B2:B5), i place a "p" beside the amount in column A once it has been paid.
I want to:
a. conditionally format the amounts in column a to turn green once I put the 'p' in the adjacent column
b. conditionally format the sum in A6 to exclude amounts that have been paid, and only display the total amount of the unpaid lines.
1 2 3 4 5 6

3 x x
4 x x
5 x x
6 x x
Assume that is the table i have. In row 1 i need conditional formatting such that if any of the columns contain an x the first row should be color coded. In my above example every column in row 1 will be color coded expect for row 1 column 6 since there are no x's for any any row in column 6.
How can i do this in excel.Also instead of x's if i have manually entered color can we do the same ?
I would like to know the formula to highlight the color of text in particular cell if the value of the particular cell ( value is text ) is so and so.
For Ex: If the J6 is "Vacation" then the J1 text should be in red color.
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.)
what i would like to do is change the fill colour of D68 if the word Air appears with in D5:D65?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that uses VB macros to calculate sums of cells based on the font color of the numbers inside. It used to be fairly easy going through each cell and "classifying" them by color, so that my macros can go ahead and sum the numbers in each respective color's cell... but now I have a huge amount of numbers and would like to automate the process somewhat. Here's an example using the A and B columns:
flight $400
hotel $150
hotel $130
meal $20
meal $15
flight $350
I tried using conditional formatting to automatically change the color of the adjacent cells based on the presence of a keyword such as "flight" or "hotel", but this change is only cosmetic, and doesn't actually change the font color (it is still the default black, hence why my color-summing macros won't work!).
I'm including a sample macro for what I use to color-sum my cells, but what I am looking to automate the color-coding process based on looking for keywords as explained above in my example. Here is one of the working color-summing macros (for red, in this case) if you'd like to use it as a reference:
Function SumRed(SelectedCells As Range)
' Adds the values of the cells where the font colour is red(3).
Dim Cell As Object
Dim x As Double
[Code] ...........
Via conditional formatting, I am searching to change the color of a specific word in a cell (not the color of everything in the cell, but only that specific word - and the word repeats in the cell). A function such as =isnumber(search("NOK";A1)) colors all the cell values, which I do not want to do. How i can perform this task?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
So I have been playing around with the tab colors on my workbook and am trying to figure out the correlation between color brightness and the auto change from black text to white text. I've noticed that if the Green color value is higher, excel is more likely to use the black text. If Blue is high, white. Green takes precedence over Blue and Red is just kind of in its own world.how excel calculates this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using conditional formatting to highlight all cells where the value <> 0.00.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of data (regarding graffiti) in a table and all my formulas work well. But, because I sometimes make an error in two columns of data I sometimes get results that do not balance. I want to put in a conditional format (?Is there a better way?) that will highlight the error as I enter the data. Can you help please?
Using Excel 2003 (sp3) and no add ons. There are lots of identical rows, 5:400, making up a table. I will use row 10 as an example.
In column M there is a formula which may or may not give a visible result. (It's a measure of the number of days taken to clean the graffiti and will only hold a result if the job has been finished.) The result for "M10" will be a number between 0 and 5 90% of the time, but may creep up to 30. It may also leave the cell looking blank although the formula itself is still lurking out of sight.
A matching row of cells, O10:T10, have no formulas in them. I must manually enter a "w" or an "a" into ONE of these columns, depending on the graffiti location (Worthing or Adur) and property ownership (Columns for residential, commercial, council etc.)
So now the errors I need to flag up as I enter data are to ensure that M and O:T balance. There should always be a result in M if there is an entry somewhere in O:T and if there is an entry in M there must be an entry somewhere in O:T.
Sometimes I mistakenly put an entry in O:T even if there was no result in M. Sometimes there is a result in M and I fail to put an entry in O:T. I need to be alerted as this happens, if possible. It will save hours of trying to track down my data entry errors.
BUT, there is already one conditional format already in M. It highlights the cell if it goes over 5 days for cleaning. =ISNUMBER(M10)*(M10>5).
If you can help, thank you very much. I thank you, my wife thanks you for me not doing overtime trying to track down my errors, my boss's thank you for making me more efficient and other forum readers may thank you for helping them to improve their sheets.
I have the following issue and hope someone can help:
I'm setting a conditional formatting formula in a range of about 2000 cells using VBA.
The procedure works fine on my PC, but generates "runtime error 5" on all of my colleagues PC's. (We all use the same version of Excel 2003).
The procedure I am using is: ...
I'm outputting some cells to a CSV. At first I tried using the SaveAs function but that renamed my worksheet and didn't work for ranges (as far as I know)
Sub Export()
'Set myADPFile = "C:ADPPCPWADPDATAPRSHWEPI.CSV"
Dim myADPFile As String
myADPFile = "C:PRSHWEPI.CSV"
Dim x As Byte
x = 5
Open myADPFile For Output As 1
While (Not (Sheet3.Range("A" & x).Value = NA))
Print #1, Trim(Sheet3.Range("B" & x).Value), ",", _
Trim(Sheet3.Range("C" & x).Value), ",", _
Sheet3.Range("D" & x).Value, ",", _ ..........................
The values are correct. However, the excess amount of spaces is not. Using the Write function just encases everything in quotation marks. Replacing spaces isn't a good solution because the first row MUST be in that format, and removing all spaces would require more code to put spaces back in. Is there a way to get rid of all the excess spaces surrounding each value?
Below is some code I am trying to run. What I would like to do is select a certain "data row" in the pivot, and apply some conditional formatting to that. It works just fine until I reach the .colorindex = 3 line. It says I'm getting an application/object defined. how to fix this? I'm on Excel 2007. This was fine on 2000!
pvtCurrent.PivotSelect "'% Dist'", xlDataAndLabel
With Selection
With .Interior
.ColorIndex = 36
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With .FormatConditions.Add(xlCellValue, xlBetween, "0", "0.97")
With .Font
.Bold = True
.ColorIndex = 3
End With
End With
End With
This is my formula with concatenation: =K3/K1*100 & "c" & " Each"
This is the result of the values in K3 divided by K1: 6.41666666666667c Each
I would like to limit the decimal places to two: 6.41c Each.
I have tried to format the cell and none of the formatting options have any effect.
If possible I would like to use the rounding function but I do not know how to combine the formula + text + rounding.
After doing some searching I found a macro here which imports multiple text files into one workbook, keeping each text file as a seperate worksheet, each worksheet named the same as the original file name (minus the .txt extension).
However, it adds a blank line between each line of text. So I get this:

This doesn't happen when I use the import wizard, or when I just open the file from the File -> Open menu.
My text files are always the same format (number of lines, etc.), so it's easy to delimit and insert forumlae as needed, but those extra lines are breaking a macro I've previously written to parse the data.
Basically, I have a Rule that says:
=$A1="Mitigated"
I want the same format if Column A says either "Mitigated" or "Accepted".
I can't create a new rule as I have to save the file in 2003 for other users and I've got another 2 rules for varoius other things.
I've tried crudely putting "Mitigated"OR"Accepted" and it dosen't work.
I am automating an invoice template for an excel novice, thus I want to conditionally format certain cells dependant on what text is in them.
I want to do this in VB but I don't know how!
I would like to conditional format a range of sells which contains numbers formatted as text. I would like if the sell contains the specific number (which is formatted as text) to be formatted in red. It works for one value but I have to list 15 values for which this condition to be done.
For example: if some of the cells in the worksheet contains one of the following values: 265987,265489,235698,2356987,2356987,2356987,235569,...ets - 15 conditions - to turns red.
Is 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 have attached the spreadsheet for reference. All other sheets pull information from the WHITE sheet.
I want the columns for unit price, discount and total to be set to two decimal places but I also don't want it to show anything if the field has a 0 value (so if i only have a few items I don't get lots of o's).
To get the field to not display a 0 if it is empty on the WHITE sheet I have been using "0;-0;;@" which I found on the net. If I use this then it negates the two decimal places.
This also includes the WHITE sheet.
I am trying to set some conditional formatting, but for some reason on of the conditions is not working and I was wondering if anybody know how -
