Using search i found many posts for blinking cells or flashing but i could not adapt any of them to what i need ,and since i dont know much how to, i need to blink an "Over Budget" text in cell O1, if N1 is >7000
View 9 RepliesI tried to change it to suit my need but it didn't work. I will paste here the first portion of the code that I changed
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Test the value of the specified cell
If Target.Address = "$A$3" Then
If Target.Value >= 12 Then Call Blinker(Target)
End If
End Sub
I changed it to:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim R As Range
For Each R In Range("$A$1:$A$10")
If R.Value < "$B$1" Then
Call Blinker
Exit For
End If
Next R
End Sub
As I don't have any formal education in VB editing, I don't even know that this is the correct way of doing it.
The other part of code that goes in standard module is unchanged. But I will post it here just for your ref:
Public Sub Blinker(ByVal rng As Range)
Dim myCounter As Integer
Do Until myCounter = 10
With rng.Interior
If .ColorIndex = 6 Then
.ColorIndex = xlNone
Else
.ColorIndex = 6...................

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on setting up a report template for my manager, who is a very visual person. I'm trying to make certain values within the report more noticable by color change and flashing/blinking. I've been looking online for VBE code that causes flashing/blinking cells when cell conditions change. I've attempted using some code I was able to find and tried to manipulate it to fit my needs, however, I have not been able to get it to work.
I'm trying to get the text (not the background color) within a range (i.e.K11:K31) to flash continuously based on the cells value. The cells in question are linked to cells on another workbook which is updated on occasion.
Values may be as follows:
AP
F-Avoidable
F-Unavoidable
P
RC
ON
Cells in the range K11:K31 are linked to a similar cell range on another worksheet (i.e. the formula used is: =IF(Datasource1!K15=0," ",Datasource1!K15) ).
I keep running into with the code I've found are as follows:
1. Due to the values in K11:K31 being the result of a formula, the values/cells are not flashing.
2. The flashing is not continuous (i.e. everything I've found so far has a time limit). I have been able to manipulate the code to extend the amount of time the flashing occurs, but so far I've been unsuccessful in causing it to loop infinitely.
3. All of the code I've found so far causes the background rather than the text to flash (this is a minor issue, more of a preference on my part)..
When I click a button on a Sheet, Certain data is copied from another sheet and paste in active sheet. While this action is taken place, whole sheet is refreshed and the image and a data is blinking for a second.
Do we have an option to avoid that blinking ?
Is it possible to do blinking txt,
Currently in each sheet in my workbook in Cells A3:D3 I have different text bolded in Red, I want this to blink constantly while the workbook is open.
how to get rid of the blinking cursor in a text box. I made a splash screen, added a text box, increased the font size to maximum, and when I run it there is a maximum sized blinking cursor at the end of the line of text. Just looks bad on the splash screen. Is there a hide cursor command that I can use? Or is there a better way to add text that I (obviously) didn't use?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have built a "Calculator" that requires 6 pieces of information, I'm finding that 2 pieces are consistently overlooked, is there a way to have prompts for completion "blink" to capture attention. (I'm using an If statement to highlight a pointing hand using "B" and wingdings when the selection is not completed).
I have found some code that relies on a macro being activated I would like any effects to be automated while the cell is empty and turn of "blinking" by the formula entering null when a response is entered.
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 two columns. In column B is the date of "last check". I column A is the date of "next check". I would like to have cell A2 in yellow color 334 days after the date entered in cell A3 and than in red color 365 days after the date entered in cell A3. Same thing for cell B2 related to date entered in cell B3. Yellow color in cells announces that check will expire within 30 days and red color that check has been expired.

=IF($E$4="y",TRUE,FALSE) for row 4
=IF($E$5="y",TRUE,FALSE) for row 5

I've tried using the formate painter but all it does is set all row to conditionally format dependant on what is in Cell E2. Thoughts on how to copy this formula is conditional format so i don't have to manually adjust it line by line. Doing this 500 times over would be a pain.

Is it possible to have a conditional cell based on the actions of another cell in a second database sheet.
For example: A single excel file contains two database sheets. If any characters are entered into cell A1 of sheet 2, then cell A1 of sheet 1 turns grey.
This is for Excel 2007. I simply want to lock cell H20 and make it's value equal to zero if anything other than 0 is entered into H19. And vice versa (make H19 equal to 0 and lock it if anything greater than 0 is entered into H20). So only one cell can hold a value not equal to zero at a time, and the one that is zero needs to be locked. Here's what I have so far. It locks H20 based on H19 being > 0, but doesn't do the vice versa part. And it also doesn't make H20 = 0 when it locks it.

I cannot seem to work out how to do this using the options available under conditional formatting. Is there another way?
Excel 2003 Scenario:
Column H contains text data as follows down the rows: BIKE/CAR/TRUCK.
Column N contains text data that would be entered free text by user down the rows; however, if the data entered in column N is not contained in column H it would warn the data is not contained in column H. Example: BOAT is not found in column H. Note; it could contain all text in column H for that row or just one word in column H for that row.
The goal is to recognize the text entered in column N is not contained in column H, warn and change the color of the text in column N to red.
I attempted to use Data/Validation, and Conditional Formatting; none seem to have a contain function.
Is there a formula or VBA I may use or any thoughts?
1. A1 needs to turn red if a value greater than $2,000 is inserted.
2. A1 will turn back to white if either "John Doe" or "Jane Doe" is inserted in B1.
3. If no value is inserted in A1, A1 needs to remain white.
4. I'll need to do the same for A2-B2, and so on.
That's it. I tried this in C1: =IF(AND(A1>2000,B1="JANE DOE"),1,IF(AND(A1>2000,B1="JOHN DOE"),1,0)).
I then used Conditional Formatting in A1 to point to C1 and turn the red in A1 off or on based on the result. Hey, it worked! Problem is, A1 needs to stay white until a value is entered, and no value entered returns 0 (red), which oddly enough is exactly what I'm telling it to do. Surprise! How do I get A1 to default to white until a value is entered in A1?
Is it possible to have a formula in a cell, based on the value in another cell, but if the other cell value is not true then allow for data entry in the cell
So
J10 executes a formula if the value in I10 (a list field) is 'Cash and Shares' =IF(I10="Cash & Share",ROUND(IF(AND(K10<>0,O10>0),K10/O10,0),0)).
However if the value of I10 is anything other than 'Cash and Shares' then do not execute the formula in J10 but allow users to enter another value.
Note: the cell needs to be locked. The worksheet will be protected and will allow users to Select Locked Cells and Unlocked Cells.
A1 is not in any pattern colour. But if A1 is changed into, say, Red, B1 will be equils to D5+F5. Otherwise if A1 is changed into Blue, B1 will be equils to D6+F6. Can it been done by Excel 2003?
