I am trying to work with conditional formatting using a macro.
How it works is I select the range I want to format manually then I run this macro.
It doesn't work
When I check the conditional format the formula is wrong. Instead of referencing the correct cell in columns E & F is is referencing E65282 & F65282
What do I need to change? ...
I am looking to create a macro that conditionally formats a cell depening on what words it contains.
if the cell has the word "level 1" in it = pink backround
"level 2" = red backround
"level 3" = Orange backround
"level 4" = Green Backround
"level 5" = Blue back round
i would like this to run on the active cell.
I have a complex sheet where rows are continuosly overwritten and new data needs to be formatted each time. My macro works great aside from the fact the conditional format formula expression adds double quotes rendering the conditional format useless. After running the macro I can go into the conditional format field, remove the quotes, and the formatting formula works as expected. So...I first did a "record macro" to grab the code for conditional formatting:

How to get the keystrokes to record or what I need to do?
Reference with the different possible codes used in creating your own conditional formatting in a macro?
I need to conditionally format cells, based on a different column of cells having a particular letter, to have a black up or down arrow.
I'm trying to find a macro to apply conditional formatting to a large number of cells,
What I would like to do is when cell E96 has a value of a, cells E3:F95 are shaded in grey. Then when cell G96 has a value of a, cells G3:H96 are shaded in grey, and so on down to IU96 having a value of a and cells IU3:IV96 shaded in grey.
I've got a lovely little spreadsheet which looks like a more complicated version of this:
CaseResult1Pass2Fail3N/A4Pass (mark-ups)5Pass
I have conditional formatting on each cell of column A (titled Case) which looks at the next door cell in column B (titled Result), and if it turns out Pass, it colours the cell in A green. If it's fail, it colours the cell red, and so on.
So my spreadsheet, after formatting, looks like this:
CaseResult1Pass2Fail3N/A4Pass (mark-ups)5Pass
However, with the "Pass (mark-ups)" option, I've run out of conditions allowed (since I'm on 2003 excel). I can colour it in the same colour as other conditions, using the OR function, but I'd rather have it a separate colour.
I've got this macro here (which I've picked off the internet somewhere):
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A5000")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case "Passed"
icolor = 4

View 9 Replies View RelatedPossible 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).
I have 2 columns 'C' and 'D' which I want to apply Conditional Formatting to (i.e. colour the background of the cell in column 'D' for the respective row in colum 'C') if they contain different values. I have the following
Sub CellCCondFormatting()
Dim j As Long
Range("C2").Select
j = Range("C2"). CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
MsgBox ("1st: " & j)
Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions.Delete
Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlGreater, _
Formula1:="=D" & j
Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlLess, _
Formula1:="=D" & j
Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions(2).Interior.ColorIndex = 4
MsgBox ("2nd pass: " & j)
End Sub
It iterates through all rows in my CurrentRegion OK but the Conditional Formatting 'formula' operates on the wrong value in column 'D'. For example, when viewed via menu option Format > Conditional Formatting... row 2 column 'D's Conditional Formatting value is D1714, row 3 column 'D's value is 'D1715' and so on....................
Is it possible to record a macro or write VBA to apply conditional formatting to certain columns of cells where there are exceptions/conditions for the different types of conditional formatting? If possible, can those exceptions/conditions be based on a specific type of formula?
See my DATA EXAMPLE picture linked below. On that example, Columns K-Q need conditional formatting but manager wants row 38 to be blue based on the fact that it is using a =SUM() formula. This represents one "part" out of 75 that could be on a given sheet, each "part" has a different number of sub-parts that are used. So I can't just highlight columns K-Q because of the occasional SUM row that needs to be blue.
The conditional formatting that I am currently using in Columns K-Q only apply to K3:Q37 and not to row 38 at all. I currently have conditional formatting on columns K-N, P-Q where when '=ISNUMBER(xx)' returns TRUE is white and when it returns FALSE is light orange. Column O uses '=ISTEXT(xx)' for the same colors. Manager doesn't want to copy paste that formatting and wants it setup as a Macro/VBA.

I am working with a large report that needs to be broken out and sent as separate files to recipients for confidentiality purposes. I'd rather not use views/protection since there are many different ways particular people need to see the data, plus it is a very large file and flattening it works to everyone's advantage. My goal is a macro that will copy each tab into separate workbooks, paste special values, and save as each as Cell A1 (or the tab name-same thing). I have tried recording macros and editing (I'm very new to VBA) many times but it's a mess.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I hit the macro code you see below I get both columns D and E, starting from row 18, to get 'filled down' to the specified spot. Every second row has a conditional format (when a value is entered in column A) to change the row to the color grey, and every row between it has a conditional format (when any value is entered in column A as well) to have the row changed to the color red. The issue here is that the Macro code messes up the conditional formatting and uses the conditional formatting of those two cells, which are being dragged down, for those entire filled-down columns! This is what I am starting off with test1.xlsm and this is what I end up with using the macro code below (or doing it manually)
test2.xlsm
Is there a way for the Macro code to bypass this issue?
I have configured conditional formatting to check valid entries in a dependant list. I used the solution provided by SHG at:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ant-lists.html
Now I need to use a macro to activate and deactivate the conditional formatting due to performance issues.
When the formula for data validation includes the indirect funtion I got a compile error and the macro won't run.
The macro firstly formats the data that is pasted into it from an access database, then it does some calculations to determine when 10 working days from a specific date is, and when 20 working days from the date is (these go in new columns at the end of the data). The macro will also add new columns which say "Not resolved" if there is no date in the Resolution column, "Yes" in the "10 working days met?" column if the condition is met and the same for 20 workings days in a different column. As the colouring etc takes a long time I really wanted to add as conditional formatting to the macro!
how to attach a spreadsheet here then I can show you what the outcome we want is. A point to note is that there is not a set number of rows each time we do this, and I don't just want 1 cell to be coloured - I want to specify which cells in the row are coloured depending on the results in another cell on that row.
After red filling certain cells based on some conditional formatting, I apply a filter to hide them. Now I need to delete them using a macro script.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA 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.
Possible???
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 have a hard time when it comes to "If then" statements and conditional formatting. I have some data that I am collecting and entering into a spreadsheet for a couple different companies. Once I receive paperwork from those companies for the data collected I mark the data with a blue colored text. I would like to have a second sheet that generates what companies have not sent me their paperwork. "If the data is black text, then generate <name of company> on second sheet." The list is small right now, but as the project continues it will grow very large and it will become difficult to track. I will attach a copy of the spreadsheet for you to see the situation. I would like to learn how to do these types of formulas, is there a tutorial geared towards these types of situations?
