Enter And Highlight Data In Columns Based On Other Columns
Jul 10, 2009
I have a worksheet with 20+ columns. For this macro, I only need to focus on 4 of them. However, none of these columns are ever in a fixed position so the macro would need to find them by name and NOT by column position. Here they are...
1. Vacation Type (will only have a text value of either "Cold" or "Warm")
2. Vacation Started (will always have a date *x/xx/xxxx)
3. Vacation Ended (sometimes it will have a date '*x/xx/xxxx' and sometimes it will NOT have a date and will be truly blank)
4. Number of Days (currently has ALL truly blank cells)
THIS WHOLE MACRO SHOULD NOT BE CASE SENSITIVE ANYWHERE
Here's what I would like the macro to do...
Scenario 1 - for "Cold" values Find "Cold" text values in the "Vacation Type" column
"Cold" values WITH a date in the "Vacation Ended" columnIF there IS a date in the "Vacation Ended" column in the same row, put the number of days difference between the "Vacation Started" column and "Vacation Ended" column in the "Number of Days" column.
The amount of days in the "Number of Days" column will determine whether these cells should be highlighted GREY or RED.
Scenario 1-AIF the number of days difference is 7 days or less, highlight the cells in the "Vacation Ended" column and "Number of Days" column RED.
OR…
Scenario 1-BIF the number of days difference is MORE than 7 days, highlight the cells in the "Vacation Ended" column and "Number of Days" column GREY..................................
I'm having issues with Excel's 2010 conditional formatting. Seems easy to use, but I'm trying to highlight values based on 2 columns of numerical data. Example:
Column F: 6 6 14
Column L: 3 NA 17
I would like Column L to highlight values that are greater than Column F in green. If they are less than Column L then highlight them in red.
Seems I was able to do this with Excel 2003, but I don't understand the 2010 version.
I really know nothing about vba so here goes. I would like to enter data in a row with 4 cells of info. then hit enter and return to the first cell and move the row down. all four cells must have data entered. and all four must move down. i tried some code as below i found and i modified but it did not work as expected. this moved the row down when returning the cursor to A2. It also should not copy the data style of the top row.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub Application.EnableEvents = False
I have a column of information, and I want to find out of there are duplicates in it without alphabetizing it. Where there is a duplicate (say E2=E5), I want to check the adjoining column to see if the value of those fields are duplicates as well (does F2=F5). So, what formula would I put in D2 to see if the value of E2 has an equal anywhere in column E, and if any duplicates are found (say E10,E33, and E43), to check if F10,F33 and F43 equal F2 (the value adjoining the cell that was searched for).
to find duplicate entries in a database by using people's last names (in column E) and birthdays (in column F). Odds are if they have the same DOB and the same last name, we've found a duplicate.
I need to find a way to highlight duplicate records within a list. The records would first need to be compared by (1) the month (found in column A), (2) the account number (found in column B) and then (3) the commission type (found in column D).
I do not need the duplicates deleted just highlighted or better yet maybe have them identified as "Duplicates" in an empty column (such as column H).
However, there are times when I need to add a column/criteria. Thus I would have to go into conditional format and redo all the rows in the worksheet. Is there a smarter way to do this?
I was hoping to provide a list of cell address from the header or better than that look for specific numbers in the header row and if there is a number greater than zero, then highlight the entire row.
There is no specific pattern as to which columns would trigger the requirement.
Also how do you keep the ranges from moving when copying across and down. Sometimes I run into that issue. Maybe highlight the entire row and then enter the conditional format?
I am trying to tell the spreadsheet that if column G *and* column V are both identical to another row's column G and V, then the entire row is a duplicate and to highlight and delete it. I also want to record a macro of this process to apply to all spreadsheets.
Here are the tutorials I am looking at, but whatever I am doing is not working the way it is working for them.
Conditional Formatting, find duplicates with multiple columns [URL]...
I am highlighting cell A2, and under Conditional Formatting, I select "Formula Is" =SUM(COUNTIF($G:$G,G2),COUNTIF($V:$V,G2))>1
Then I select the format as light orange text, but it is only highlighting A2....
That is as far as I have gotten, and I still do not know how to go about deleting the duplicate entries. I have also read there are issues with recording a macro when trying to find duplicates using more than one column in the formula, but I have not gotten that far so I can't test it.
As is likely evident in my formula and process, I am not very experienced with Excel.

I have a spreadsheet that runs a macro resulting in a different number of rows everytime the macro is run. Columns H, I & J are the only columns with currency in them. I would like a macro to find the bottom-most row of currency data in these columns and insert the Auto-sum formula in the row directly below each of these 3 columns. Then bold this row and increase the font by 2 points (or 12).
searching between 2 columns (A:B) and finding duplicate emails using some type of formatting that will highlight duplicate emails?
For example? A B me@yahoo.comsmelly@yahoo.comegg@msn.comspazz@guno.comdupada@hotmail.comhope@aol.comokay@gmail.comhelp@popp.comhope@aol.comfunky@chicken.com check@team.com hope@aol.com
I am using MS Excel 2007 and not very experienced, but this is for a marketing golf tournament my company is hosting.
Please see the attached example. I'm trying to highlight cells only if 2 values in the row match 2 values in another row. If a book title/author combination matches that of another title/author combination in a different row, it would highlight. Some alternate rows will contain different titles by the same author, and some rows will have like titles by different authors...but they should not highlight.
The only situation where highlighting would occur is if the title/author pairing appears in another row.
I'm trying to decide if this would be a conditional formatting/highlighting rule, or if it would be a macro/vbs?
Using the following code to remove empty rows based on whether a specific range of columns is empty. The code works if the cell has a zero, but not when the cell is blank. An example of the data is attached.

how to set one entire columns text to two different colors based on another columns values. So for example I have column A and B. Column A has two values called Internal and External. Column B is a title table so the entire column is just titles. We'll say it goes for 20 rows if you need a row count. What I am looking to do change the text in Column B to Red for External and Blue for Internal. I tried the conditional formatting and I just can't seem to find the right option.
I have this code and that allows me to enter the time without using the colon but only in 2 columns, I tried to add to the range "BJ2:BJ105" but this throws an error when I try to enter the time, is there a way to use this code and set it for multiple columns?
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim TimeStr As String On Error GoTo EndMacro If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("AZ2:AZ105", "BE2:BE105")) Is Nothing Then
I have a Master List with 3 colums The first column labeled location has a pull down menu with about 20 different options. The middle column labeled issues is just for text entry. The third column labeled contractor is another pull down menu with 18 options on it. I also have 18 other sheets within the workbook that correspond to the third column pulldown menu.
Heres what I need. I would like to be able to enter info from columns one and two and be able to choose an option from column three and the info from columns one and two go to the corresponding sheet.
I have a workbook that has worksheeets for every day of the month. The data in the worksheet consists of columns (employee #, name, clock in/out times, and break penalty).
What I am trying to do is create another worksheet that searches all the other worksheets for a "yes" in the "break penalty" column and then create a list of all the employees that received a break penalty for the entire month. I would like this to be able to auto populate throughout the month as data is entered and not have to use a filter every time I want to compile this list.
I have been researching this for 3 days and I cannot find a solution. I have City, State information in A1. I also have City, State information in B1. I need to put them into City (D1) and State (E1).
I have a sheet (calender month) with week number in the top row, date on the second and weekday on the thirdh. Is there some code that will change the background colour of the entire column when the weekday say's sa or su (saturday/sunday)?
I could do it manually but every year the first of januari starts on a different day and I would like to automate it.
I am trying to include numbers in an average if two separate columns prove true. For example, I want to include all numbers in column "C" in the average if the cell in column "A" matches a name and the cell in column "B" is equal to the number 1.
I'm running a football competition for my business where customers are required to guess World Cup football scores via Facebook. I'm storing all their entries in a spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet column a is their name, b is the match (e.g. England v Italy), c is the home tame (England), d is the score (1-1), e is the away team (Italy)
Across from, that I have the actual fixtures taking place at the World Cup. So column I is the date, K is the home team (England), L is the actual score (2-0) and M is the away team (Italy)
What I need is a formula that when I enter the result on a game into the right set of columns (Columns I:M) it will highlight those Columns (Columns C:E) that have entered that correct score.
It needs to compare 3 columns and not just one because for example if it highlights the score (1:1 for example) it could be highlighting someone who picked Spain v Holland 1:1 where the correct result would be someone who picked England v Italy 1:1.
highlight cells that are present in all selected columns. For example, if i had a file with 6 columns in it, I would like to highlight the cells that are present 6 times (once in each column).
I have a spreadsheet with columns A to W populated with data and 2470 rows Column A has email addresses in it (2470 rows) Column B has email addresses that are bad and are duplicated of those found in Column A there are only 345 of them in column B.
I would like to compare columns A and B and highlight the email addresses in column A that are also found in column B.
OR: If column A has a duplicate found in column B I would like the word delete to be inserted into column C of that row so I can review and then delete later.
I am trying to write a macro that will take data from column A and use it as a column header in column C, and then take the corresponding data in column B and list it under the column header in column C. When the value in column A changes it will move on to column D and then list the corresponding data from column B underneath it in column D until all of the data in the 2 columns is spread across the worksheet.
