Excel 2010 :: How To Highlight Incorrect Value From 3 Columns
Aug 19, 2013
I have a Excel 2010 spreadsheet that contains 3 columns of (£) values. I am wanting to highlight a cell if one of these values do not match the other 2 columns. e.g below I would need the middle column to be highlighted as it does not match the other 2 cells.
25,449.47
25,451.65
25449.47
The thing to point out is that it can be any of the cells that do not match, not necessarily the middle column and occasionally all cells will not match and all need to be highlighted.
I am sure I need to use the Conditional Formatting, but cannot figure the formula.
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'm looking for a formula in column F that will return True if there are any negatives or blanks in E for any of that item A? False if variance is blank or all off that item has no variance?
In an Excel 2010 worksheet I use three columns. I need a user to be able to input a word or phrase into a cell or input box, and have Excel highlight that word or phrase every place it occurs only in column C.
Can I do that with conditional formatting? Or do I need to use a function? Or do I need a macro?
Highlighed the Column and Row of the selected Cell. I have seen someone using it. Whenever he click on any cell the related column and Rows clour change. For Example if I select Cell B5. The Column B and Row 5 change its colur from B1 to B5 and Row from Column A to Column B. If this option is already available in office 2010
I am trying to use condtional formatting to highlight a row in a table if the order number is NOT on another table, on a different sheet. Example: Order Number 1001 is in my table on Sheet4, Once the order has been filled is comes off my "Pending Orders" table on Sheet1, which is based on a data connection, so it updates once the connection is refreshed. I would like the row with order number 1001 in my table on Sheet4 to be highlighted letting me know it can now be removed, since I have to manually manage this table. I am using Excel 2010.
In column A, I need to highlight the cells green if the value is less than < the values in columns B and C, yellow if A = either B and C, and red if A is greater than B and C. But I only want the formatting to stay in column A. I'm using Excel 2010 and Windows 7.
I'm using Excel 2010 and when I highlight a range and right click 'name a range' is greyed out. I can bypass this by going to the formulas tab and defining a name from there.
Anything I can check to see why this is not an option for me?
Using Excel 2010. Is it possible to change the default line thickness and fill color when selecting the ActiveSheet Target Row below?
I would like a thin border and a light grey fill - without interfering with any fomatting or conditional formatting that has been applied to the worksheet.
Im using Excel 2010 and want to make a formula that will High light the number when it exceeds the past 30 days average. My information is listed vertically in row F..
I am using Excel 2010. I have a pivot table where I want to highlight the ENTIRE row where a certain cell value equals something.
In essence I want all the Material Subtotal Rows highlighted "Orange" But as you can tell from the picture below I am having issues with the Body of the Pivot table. I have the formula checking to find whenever it finds the word total to highlight it.
The example below is showing how I need the row to be formatted. I can get the Data (Units) section formatted no problem. It is just the other part of the pivot table that I cannot format.
For the columns from Material to SAP # I have been trying to use Dynamic Name ranges using the Offset function. However, excel turns that Name range to a range and if I filter the pivot table, it adds extra ranges to the Applies to box and starts to really mess it up.
I am looking for a way to highlight groups of identical number cells in alternating grey and white. My goal is to make it clear when there is a repeating set of numbers. Below is an example of what a completed state of this would look like that I created manually. The real form I will be using this code on will have long number which is why I am looking for this added clarification. I am using excel 2010.
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?
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?
I have two columns that use data validation. Column-F uses a dynamic named list in the validation and column-G validation is set to allow a decimal entry only. I need a third form of validation to compare the two values and an message when there is an error.
If F1="None" then the required entry in G1 must be 0 (zero). If F1 <> "None", then G1 entry can be any value greater than zero. What I would like is a message box to pop-up explaining the error when F1="None" and G1>0.
I'm using a helper column-K that concatenates the cell values (in F:G) into a single string that I can check. Not having much success, but what I've tried so far is:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myrange, mycell As Range
On Error Resume Next Set myrange = Sheets("Copper Data").Range("K10", Range("K65536").End(xlUp)) For Each mycell In myrange If mycell.Value = "No Scrap0" Then MsgBox ("You entered a scrap reason of 'No Scrap' and quantity of 0") Next mycell
End Sub
It either fires all the time if the helper cell string is "No Scrap0" or it doesn't fire at all if the string is "NoScrap1" (where "1' can be any number).
Currently trying to build this, but my fledgling VBA knowledge has me hamstrung. I'm getting an error of "Next without For').
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r, c As Range Dim note As String, Response As Long
note = "Data Entry Error: Scrap Quantity cannot be greater than zero with a reason code of No Scrap." & vbLf & vbLf & _ "Please check the accuracy of your entries."
I could swear I used to be able to cut and paste columns in Excel 2010, but for the past week I haven't been able to. When I click on a column and do a right click, "CUT" is greyed out. I can cut any section, but not a whole column.
On my "Order" sheet, I enter an account no. that looks up the company name, address, etc on my "Accounts" sheet. Below the address info on the "Accounts" sheet is a list of the salespersons with their email address.
After entering the account no., I want to enter the salespersons name and automatically look up their email address. I can make the lookup function work if I tell the formula which column the salesperson is located in, but am lost how to write the formula to locate the salesperson based upon the column no. that contains their company info.
F1 - contains the account no. entered on the order sheet.
Accounts!A1:Z100 - range containing columns of account info.
ORDER!G9 - This is the row number value I obtained by using a match function to lookup the Salespersons name entered in cell F8, then I add 1 to render the value of the row that contains the email address located directly below the salespersons name.
=(MATCH(F8,ACCOUNTS!B1:B100,FALSE)+1)
Herein lies my issue, the salesperson name will not always be in Column B
I can write another Match to obtain the column no, but then I am using another cell to hold a calculated value for my lookup statement.

I am using Office 2010. I have a list of names in column A and a list of URLs in column B and I'm trying to find which ones have a match or partial match at least.
ex. (the name is in column A and the URL is in column B)
1 youtube www.youtube.com 2 Mr excel www.mrexcel.com 3 Wine Lover www.winelovers.com 4 Brian Jones www.ilovecats.com
In the example, I would like to highlight (or something) #s 1,2,3 as matches.
I have a spreadsheet with standard rows and columns - nothing elaborate. There is a section with a column for each month of the year, with 10 line items showing monthly totals for various business functions. What I would like to do, if possible, is ... instead of showing all 12 columns (making for a very long spreadsheet), I would like to show only 4 of the 12 month columns (in a window) and scroll through the months with a scroll bar.
I wish to select all the cells which contain the word " Available " in column A at once . But i didn't find any option to do so using excel's Go TO Special feature.
