Conditional Formatting On Numerous Worksheets At One Time
Nov 2, 2011
Is it possible to perform conditional formatting on numerous worksheets at one time. I have about 50 worksheets that I would like to perform the same conditional format on. Is there a way to do this.
I have a workbook with numerous worksheets that contain text, steps actually. I would like to select all common words and change their formatting to bold. Every time I try however, it formats the entire cell in bold. Is there a way to isolate just the word "click" for instance in all the cells in each worksheet and change the formatting to bold, and leave the other text within the cell normal?
My workbook is a variation of the below repeated on a number of sheets.
Sheet 1
A B C
1 Name Carrots Peas
2 John Smith 0 7
3 John Doe 2 1
4 Joe Bloggs 4 0
On a separate summary sheet Im struggling to create a formula that would look through all sheets and Sum where 'John Smith' appears and then sum the number of 'Carrots' (if any) and 'Peas' and then the same for any other names that has values attached to it. The names in each sheet may not be in the same order or appear at all otherwise I would just use a standard sum on each sheet.
I believe in the past that I have told Excel to send the output of the pivot table to different worksheets. For example if I have three regions- the pivot table would send the output to three worksheets and name the worksheets with the three regions.
I have 2 worksheets - one is a monthly update, the other is last month's data.
I want to highlight the changes on the monthly update sheet using conditional formatting.
I named the columns as ranges on the "last month" worksheet, and then used =Match(A1,Jan,0) (wheras Jan is the range on the "last month" worksheet where A1 resides)
What formula do you use to say "if A1 does NOT match a value in range "jan", then format it"?
I have an Excel report I have to generate. I need "Call Back" (F3) to show highlighted in red if time value of (F3) is = to or greater than 4 hrs. of "Time Reported" (C3) and highlighted in green if value is before 4 hrs. Also "Arrival Time" (G3) needs to be highlighted green if within 24 hrs. of "Time Reported" (C3) and highlighted red if after 24 hrs. of "Time Reported" (C3).
I have 2 worksheets. One has locations with numbers, example:
275 Location 1 276 Location 2
I have all my locations on the second sheet, but in 2 different columns, listed with numbers only, example: 271 275 272 300
I have 2 scenarios I need help with.
1st: If any of the numbers on sheet 1 match the numbers in column 1 on sheet 2, highlight the number on sheet 1 in green If any of the numbers on sheet 1 match the numbers in column 2 on sheet 2, highlight the number on sheet 1 in red
2nd: If the number on sheet 2 matches any number on sheet 1, highlight green
I want these to apply to all the cells that have numbers (it could apply to all cells I guess as it should ignore it if it doesn't match, I would assume)
I know there are many posts concerning this, but after scouring, I couldn't find one that fit my situation. I have a total of six worksheets, I am only concerned with two worksheets.
Worksheet (functions!)
This one has a list of numbers formatted as general. (Column G)
Is actually a formula/macro that outputs a number... (didn't know if this mattered?)
Excel 2000. I am having a little problem getting the list of numbers detailed below to turn red if Negative and Green if positive, (0:00 to stay blank). These numbers will changed between a maximum of 120:00hrs and -120:00hrs....
I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight phone calls that came in between certain hours.
The call times are in the custom format h:mm, although it could easily be changed to an Excel time format. I'm using Excel 2002. I want the cell to have a different fill color if it falls within particular time frames.
Example:
If the call came in between 22:00 and 23:59 color is light green. If the call came in between 23:59 and 08:00 the color is yellow.
How to use conditional formatting to show a certain criteria. I need to know if an event happens between 07:30 and 16:30, I can work this out so that the cells show in green. I cannot solve the problem of formatting in red if the time is after 16:30 but before 07:30.
I am trying to get conditional formatting to work on this problem but I am getting nowhere fast,
In A1 I have a start date, I want B1 to turn Green if A1 is less that 1 year old, C1 to turn Yellow if A1 is between 1 - 3 years old and D1 to turn red if A1 is more then 3 years old.
I would like to use Conditional Formatting to format a cell depending whether it past a certain time, such as 3:45 PM. Naturally, entering the time as the condition does not work. Is there a way to do this?
Attached is a workbook. I have manually highlighted the cells to give idea of what I would like the outcome to be.
Moonah OPS sheet.
In Row 5(Shift times), under the drop down menu in cells B5:J5, there is a range of Shift times. And for the purpose of this I have selected B5 as 0800:1621, manually highlighted B11:B27 C5 as 06:00, manually highlighted C7:C24 D5 as 07:00:1521, manually highlighted B11:B27 E5:I55(RDO, REC, SICK, Travel) can remain as manual input if it is to much to work out.
Is it possible or just a pipe dream, to use some method to automatically highlight a range of cells based on the C5:J5 'time'?
If the time is an actual shift time, the colour will be green and dark green writing as default, then we can allocate jobs/training/meetings and manually colour them.

However I am trying to apply this to a whole column but the numbers are not (D5,B5) moving down (to D6,B6), When I use the format painter it is taking too long as I can only merge conditional formatting on one cell at a time and I have 30 colums and 390 rows to apply this formatting to.
A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.
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.
Is there "code" for different formatting in a spreadsheet so you can use an IF statement to do something like:
if(A1=blue background,"Yes","No")
or
if(A1=red text,"Yes","No")
etc.?? But replace "blue background" and "red text" with some sort of number code? I want to compile a list of the items that are formatted with certain background colors and/or text colors and then organize only those items into a chart.
Any VBA that I can put into a macro that will convert conditional formatting into fixed formatting..? So when the cell contents/formulas are deleted the formatting remains. Assume that the range I want to convert is A1:D200...
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 am trying to create a spreadsheet that will take all my grades from the semester (I'm a college student) and compute my GPA. I managed to get a weighted average for each class, but the grade is on a scale of 1-100. I need to convert that to a letter grade, and then a 4.0 scale. How can I set it up so that it will return "A" if 90<Grade<100, "B" if 80<Grade<90, etc.? I'm apologize if this is something simple, but I've been trying to find the right function for a long time.
I work for a construction company, Someone else created a workbook a few years ago with 140 similar pages, each listing a separate piece of equipment as a service record. I need to print these out randomly for mechanics to update with new information, as they service the machines. However, some of the pages of the original workbook are goofy and the workbook as a whole could be improved. But, oh that many pages!
I have worked on a new template page for entering information to make the worksheets all cohesive and updated. Is there an EASY and/or FAST way for me to copy this page 150x to make a new workbook, and just enter my data onto each new page? I really don't want to reformat each page of the original workbook individually to see if I can fix all the glitches and weirdnesses that have occurred on the pages over the years. I thought it would be much easier to retype the data onto new pages.
I am having a little difficulty getting my vba to correspond to what i want it to do. I have columns that can vary with how many rows they have weekly. The all start at P2, R2, V2.
These columns always have the same number of rows as each other, but the number of rows varies.
I compare my R2>P2, and if it is return the number in R2. If not, i am looking to take P2 and round down to the nearest .95. (ex: R2 is at 3.45. The value that should be put in in V2 is 2.95. Since the values all change as well, it needs to compare: .96-1.95, 1.96-2.95, etc. all the way up to 15,000.
I know it can be done with if's, whiles, or from i to x, but my experience is in vb.net, not vba. And, since i am new at this, i can write the code, but don't know how to make it correspond to a new excel filename weekly.
At the moment I have a macro that is assigned to a button. When clicked, it creates a newline, create and copy a column in another sheet. This code works fine :
[Code] ......
What I now want to do is make a cell called "Total Number of Sites" and allow user to input data into "D3" manualy. eg if 3 sites, user input 3 in D3 so D3 = 3.
Since total number of sites = 3, Instead of clicking that button I made 3 times, I want to call the macro 3 times using a nother button.
I have a VERY complex custom data validation formula that is getting crazy. I thought it might be easier to use a user defined VBA function to handle it, but was unsuccessful.
I was able to write a VBA User Defined Function & use it within my spreadsheet to derive the value of another cell, as follows: =IF(OR(ISBLANK(B12),myValidation(B12)),"OK","NG")
I tried using it as a Custom Data Validation on the cell itself (=myValidation(B12)), and I get an error: "a named range you specified cannot be found".
Can the function be used in this way or could someone suggest another way of handling this?
