Automatically Trigger Formatting Code On Drop Down Choice
Apr 6, 2008I'm building a Excel 2003 workbook that needs more than 3 conditional formats. I've tried the code given in the FAQ: Get Around Excels 3 Criteria Limit in Conditional Formatting but this only works on cells being modified directly. I've also tried the code in the post: VBA Conditional Formatting - Refresh when data changes but neither does the job I need.
I'm using a Format Control to present the user with a list of choices. When the control changes the target cell I want to apply a conditional format to that cell. This image shows the form. When the Format Control selection (in B2) is changed I want to apply conditional formating to the target cell (A2).
There will be up to 10 choices and therefore conditions.
Conditional Formatting Using A Trigger?
Sep 17, 2013I have attached a sample work book.
What I want to achive is the colouring of the cells in columns A-L using the trigger of the "Y" character in colums J-L
So when a Y is put in column J the cells to the left and including column J change to green. Then when a Y is put into column K the cells to the left and including K turn yellow. Finally when a Y is entered in column L the cells to the left and including L turn the lovely shade of Pink. It is possible the process will go from a Y in column J to a Y in column L mising out column K but I don't suppose this will matter.
I used to have it working in office 2003 to a fashion but have not yet got my head around 2010
Trigger For Conditional Formatting To Hide Rows
Oct 21, 2006I found in this forum some vba code to insert into an excel spreadsheet a routine to hide rows if a value is < 1 in a column (Column B for this example). My problem is that it executes as you go down each cell in column B. I want to press a function key at the end of working on the spreadsheet to have it go line by line to hide rows that meet the condition. The code is as follows:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
' Dim R As Range
' Set R = Application.Intersect (Target, Range("B7:B7"))
' If R Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With ActiveSheet
For Each Cell In Range("B5:B6")
If Cell.Value < 1 Then
Cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Drop-down Box Value To Trigger Macro
Jun 21, 2006A1 is a drop-down list, created from Data> Validation>List, which lists 3 different words (Text1, Text2, Text3). I have recorded 3 macros (Macro1, Macro2, Macro3). Here's what I want to happen:
When Text1 is selected in A1, I want Macro1 to run (same for Text2/Macro2 and Text3/Macro3). I want the user to be able to change this value as many times as they wish and have the corresponding Macro run each time. I've tried creating the appropriate code in Editor using other threads on this forum, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Trigger Event From Pivot Table Drop Down
Oct 2, 2007I am trying to write a worksheet_selectionchange macro in which the change is initiated only when certain cells are changed (B6:B9 and X9).

Jul 1, 2014I have the code below that is two separate activities and I want to change the second activity from a cell trigger (Set KeyCells = Range("K42:AD42")) to a button trigger. I need to first to remain unchanged.
I'd be ok if this was just one macro that I could assign to a button but because its two and I need to write the second's to clicking a button I'm over my head.
Its occured to me while writing this that because it'll be a range of buttons I'll probably need to make each one an individual code? Is this the case? If so I may have to just keep this as it is.
Conditional Formatting - Two Different Fields Affect One Cells Formatting For Date?
Sep 16, 2013A 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.

Conditional Formatting Based On Another Cell Conditional Format
Mar 20, 2013Is 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???
Drop-down List Formatting
Sep 2, 2009I am trying to use a drop-down list to alleviate errors in a worksheet but was wondering if it was possible to remove an item from the list once it was selected... Here is what I mean:
The drop down list shows:
Resume
Transcript
SAT
ACT
GPA
and there are five columns aside one another with these same options. What I want to know is if I choose resume for the first list, is there a way that I can make that option unavailable in the following four columns and show this:
Transcript
SAT
ACT
GPA
Or if I use any selection from the drop-down list, it would be removed from the other 4 columns.

IF Statement Using Formatting Criteria (NOT Conditional Formatting)
May 5, 2009Is there "code" for different formatting in a spreadsheet so you can use an IF statement to do something like:

Conditional Sum To Match Against Drop Down List
Nov 20, 2008I am having is that I know that other people will be adding more and more suppliers/brands and types as time goes on.
This presents two problems:
1) I am not in a position to keep making new rules every time a new entry is added to each of these categories.
2) I am trying to add functionality that will allow me to sort them alphabetically - so that the drop down lists continue to make sense. However if this were to happen then the calculations created next to the lists would go out of whack whenever I did an alphabetical sort.
Conditional Drop-Down Menus/Lists
May 8, 2008I am trying to create 4 pull down menus. Menus 1, 2, 3, 4. Menu 1 is the top menu, menu 2 will only show certain information based on what was chosen on menu 1. Menu 3 will show certain information based on what was chosen in 2 and 4, again, will only show certain information based on what was chosen in 3. Sort of how the menus on autotrader work, if you chose audi it will only show audi vehicles, although not for the same purpose, or even the same industry. I am using Excel 2007, it might matter. I have attached an xls file that shows the information I am using and below that the basic progression, I haven't listed it all, but you should get the general idea.

Feb 17, 2006Just wondering if a drop down list can be specific to a selection made in a previous cell. For example in column A the user would select either:
Weekly
Monthly
Other
Then in column B, the drop down list would be conditional upon what was selected in A. So if the user selected 'Weekly' - the drop down list in B would be: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Or if the user selected 'Monthly' in column A's list, the list in column B would be: 1, 2, 3, ......31.
Formatting Area Using Data Validating Drop Downs
Nov 23, 2007I'm currently developing a calendar that has a list in it with lets say 4 options. What I want the calendar to do is calculate at a specific 'cell' the number of entries that are selected during the month.
The idea is to have a drop down on each 'day' and a counter that calculates the number of times one specific options has been selected. Once the option has been selected the 'day' will change to the corresponding color.

If Then Or Conditional Formatting??
Mar 5, 2009I 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?
