I am comparing a set of common variables across 2 sets of independent financial data. When comparing a variable across the 2 sets e.g. profit I want to colour a neighbouring cell based on the size of the difference. For example if the difference between the two values is within plus or minus 1 make it green, plus or minus 5 red etc.
View 5 RepliesI need a formula that I can place in, lets say, Cell A1 that will reference Cells B1, B2, B3 and C1, C2, C3. These all have numbers & %'s in them. However, I want to "weight" the B cells by the percentages in C cells. The problem I am having is that when I change the %'s nothing is changing in the output...almost like I was doing nothing but averaging B1:B3 without the % to adjust.
This is how I envision it, but my calculation may be wrong of course :
A1 = average(sum(B1,B2,B3)*C1, sum(B1,B2,B3)*C2, sum(B1,B2,B3)*C3)
The Goal:
This would allow me to change the output depending on the percentage. So if I am looking at days to an appointment and the B cells represent areas of a city: B1 = 10, B2 = 5, B3 = 2 the average would be 5.6, however, I know that B1 city has more "weight" to it with our customer base so I want B1 to be closer to what will show as days out (which is obviously important as 10 days is not good). So I would assign C1 = 60%, C2 = 30%, C3 = 10%. This should pull the average more to 7 or 8 as it would lean more towards the B1 value. I hope this makes sense.
I did try going more of a route where I did something like =average(B1*C1,B2*C2,B3*C3) but that lowered all the original values instead and averaged them instead of pushing the number more towards the higher weighted % of B1 cell value. I can send an example spreadsheet if I am losing anyone.
I'm trying to do some sort of a league table
I have something like this with data in around 1000rows there is text in collums A B D and E.
A B C D E
1
2 100
3 60
4 30
5 20
and i would like to do this:
if value in cell x in collum C is over 80 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is yellow
if value in cell x in collum C is between 60-80 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is brown
if value in cell x in collum C is between 40-60 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is blue
if value in cell x in collum C is between 0-40 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is red
Obviously i cant use conditional formating because i have more then 3 conditions.
Does anybody know what code to use for VBA?
i have a sheet which has name of students (A2:A10), B1:E1 has project name. and the projects are catagorised by color red=high,green=medium, yello=low. i have given weightage to these color red=80%, green=50%, yello=20%.
similarly the involvment of the students in each project is shown by these three color in respective cell. like B2 is red, C2 is red,D2 is blank, E2 is green. (the weightage is same as above). in column F i want the total utilisation of each student, which is simply sum of product of weightage given to these colors.
e.g.
project 1project 2project 3project 4utilisationsam1.38joe0.54nick0.72
what i want is to calculate this utilisation number, but i want my sheet to be shown in the same color format.
i am sure that there is some solution for this.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone knows how to create a formula that is dependent on the colors of a range of cells subject to conditional formatting. For example, I would like something that could answer =if(A1 is red,"Phillies",if(A1 is blue,"Mets","Marlins)). However, the text color will be generated from conditional formatting, so most of the VBA code I have found thus far isn't working properly. Does anyone know of a solution?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor the past month now, I'm trying to calculate some work hours (night hours actually), based on a reference.
Let me show you the table:
- Column A has all of the schedules of the employees
- Column B has the numbers of hours for each schedule (all have 8.5 hours/day)
- Column C has the reference for the night hours.
Now what I'm trying to do, is to find a formula that will calculate the numbers of the night hours using the reference in Column C
Row 23 in that table has an example of what I'm looking for.
I want to create a conditional format formula which is based on values in 2 cells.
Example:
Cell B1 = 100
Cell C1 = 50
I want a formule for cell A1 which turns red for exmaple when B1 is higher then 85 and Cell C1 is lower then 85. Only in this case the conditional format should work.

How do I create a CF if a cell is blank (in my case represent no sales) i want to have it yellow (ex. C2)
But if it has two consecutive blank cell i want to CF with Red. (Ex. F3)
But i also need to exclude blank cells when we we have no previos sales of that item (Ex.B3).
I have a worksheet that I want to format based on three different cells. I had it set up with the following:
Code:
For i = 2 To LR
If Cells(i, 13).Value = "Price Mismatch" Then
Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 39
[Code] ........
Worked fine until one of the cells had an error in the result, I want to have this row colored also. I altered the first check to :
Code:
If Cells(i, 13).Value = "Price Mismatch" Or IsError(Cells(i, 13)) = "True" Then
I have tried multiple variations without success. I need to have the row colored if the value in the cell on the row in column 13 = Price Mismatch or is an error.
I have created a named range that includes raw data layed out in 4 columns (Finish Name, Fill Color, Pattern, Font Color). On a separate sheet, when one of the finish names is selected in a particular cell, I want the cells fill, pattern, and font color to change according to the raw data. Below is the vba code I am trying to get to work. However, it is not working. It does not break, but does not achieve the desired result. It looks like the variables are getting set correctly, but still not changing the cell when they are referenced. I am only testing it on the first finish color, as seen in the code. All of the rest are static values for the cell, but I want the values to be dynamic.
Sub SetFinishSeparatorColor()
ActiveCell = frmFinishSeparator.cboFinish.Value
Set rngTarget = ActiveCell
With Sheets("Pick List Do Not Tamper").Range("Finish_Cell_Color")
lngFinishCellColor = . Find(What:=rngTarget, After:=.Cells(1, 1), _

I have a drawing register that contains drawing reference numbers in column D. When a new revision of a drawing is issued it is added to the bottom of the list. What I would like to do is any previous revisions to be greyed out and struck through.
The conditional formatting
= COUNTIF($D$1:$D$100,D1)>1
works well but strike through all duplicates, I need the most up to date left without the format until it is superceeded
If Cell A1 in my spreadsheet is 1, then cell A2 should appear formatted as a percentage. So if a user enters 9000 into cell A2, it should appear as 9000%. If Cell A1 in my spreadsheet is 2, then cell A2 should appear as a comma-formatted whole number. So if a user enters 9000 into cell A2, it should appear as 9,000. Conditional formatting doesn't appear to let me do this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedCell L90 to L120 are input cells where I type " Percentage" or "Dollar Amount". I need the five cells to the right of each input cell starting two cells over, to be formatted accordingly. I read a thread similar to what I'm asking for suggesting a worksheet change macro, but I can't quite figure it out for a range of cells. Also, in case I need to add a row to my sheet before all of these cells, how can I make sure that this will still work without having to go into the code. Is this an activecell thing?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been tasked with creating a Macro in order to help speed up a rather simple set of steps that are taken to format a spreadsheet each day. The last step, however, is not so simple. I would like to add a statement to the macro code that does that following:
Based on the value of a specific cell, color the cell and all corresponding cells within the same row (from colums A to AA) yellow. Essentially, cells in column D may have a the value "No Allocation", and if they do, I will need to format that cell yellow as well as all the cells within the same row for the colume range A to AA.
I have a pivot table and next to it I added some calculations which are based on data from the table. In my "real" file, the cells next to the PT are formatted with conditional formatting based on other values in the sheet (see attached sample file). What I now need to do is add borders to the cells in columns “D:G” only if the cells in “B5” and downwards are not empty. I have tried doing it with conditional formatting but there are some other rules which contradict this setting.
The idea is to make the cells in columns “D:G” look like they are a natural extension on the PT. However, the table can grow or shrink (in length) and I want to see borders only around cells that are on the same rows as the data in column “B” (staring with B5). I think that whatever solution you can provide (if you can...) should be based a workbook_change event, because in my “real” file, the length of the table is changed whenever I select a different “page” of the PT.
I know that I need to use Conditional Formatting, but I can't get the formula code correct.
This is what I need it to do:
If cell A2 is populated (not blank) AND cell B2 is blank, then cell B2 to be highlighted in bright red fill.
If cell A2 is populated (not blank) and cell B2 is also populated (not blank), then leave formatting as per normal
If cell A2 is blank then leave formatting as per normal
Basically, as soon as someone types anything into cell A2, cell B2 to turn red. Then once they have input something into cell B2, the red highlight can disappear. The inputs will be text, not numbers, so I can't use </>
I have tried varying circumstances of IFs, ANDs, NOTs, ISBLANKs etc and I can't crack
I am looking for a method to conditionally format a variable number of cells below a single cell into which data is entered.
For example ABC = 6, DEF = 12. Therefore, if I enter ABC into D1 then D1:D6 should be conditionally formatted.
A1:A6 have numeric values 1 to 6.
I want the conditional format values to change Based on the value in Cell B2.
If the value in B2 is "old", then I want these conditional format conditions for A1:A6. Numbers between 1-2=green text, 3-4=orange text and 5-6=red text.
IF the value in B2 is "new" then I want the conditional format conditions in A1:A6 to change so 1=black text, 2-3=green text, 4-5=orange text and 6=red text.
I know how to do multiple conditional formats but i have no clue how to change multiple conditions based on another cells value.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWondering if it is possible to conditional format cells in "Jan"-"Dec" columns based on "Next" column data?
What I need is (lets say fill colour to differ) in one cell per row, based on latest input and "next" data.
Month Avg
Date
Jan
Feb
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Jul
[code]......
So for example:
row2: May is latest input so need fill in cell +2("next" column data) from may. In this case July
row3: Feb is latest imput and "next" also 2. Result should be Apr
row8:May is latest input, "next" is 6. Res should be Nov.
Finally, only one cell per row to be highlighted so need to overwrite colour fill when new data input in a cell already colour filled.
The following code works perfect but the "change" event is only triggered when working directly on intersect range. Tried using the "calculation" event but could not figure it out. This is what I want:
1) To replace the code provided below using the calculation event
2) To only trigger the event for the row(s) where the new value was generated, not for the whole "For Each" statement
3) To use one single code for all worksheets, instead of copying the code in every working worksheet on the workbook, if feasible
4) And I would like a "second alternative", where the user of the workbook can click on a button and trigger the event on every row on the workbook that has a non empty cell within the intersect range, assuming that the intersect range column is the same for all worksheets
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range, d As Range, fc As Long, bc As Long, bf As Boolean
Set d = Intersect(Range("I:I"), Target)
If d Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For Each c In d
Select Case UCase(c)
Case "C"
fc = 1: fb = True: bc = 4
Case "O"
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 3
Case "D"
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 46
Case "G"
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 5..................

2. If some cells on sheet 2 in the range A1:A10 were false and some were true then cell A1 on sheet 1 would be yellow.
3. If all cells on sheet 2 in range A1:A10 were true then cell A1 on sheet 1 would be green.
Code is trying to
1. Where there is data in column B
2. Goto first row of data
2. If column J = "Closed"
3. then select Cells from column B to J in that row and colour these cells in red
4. If column J= "Open"
5. the select Celss from column B to J in that row and colour these cells in grey

I have a spreadsheet and I’m trying to create several different staffing scenarios
Basically what I want is to populate column E with the amount of staffing based on the number of classes in column B. The range that I want to apply is in the green box in the sample. I’m trying to have excel give me the staffing value if the current number in cell B5 is a certain value – so in the example 1 through 4 = .2, 5 through 8 = .4 and 9 through 12 = .6. this site gave me some ideas so I tried V lookup and Index but I seem to be missing something and wonder if it is not combinations of nested functions?
I am trying to conditionally format the top middle and bottom thirds of a range of data. Problem is, that the range needs to be flexible as sometimes there may be a maximum of 36 cells with data, but sometimes there may be less (so there are blank cells in the range that need not be counted). The methods I have tried always include the blank cells, and so it is not equally formatting the thirds (as it includes the blanks cells as part of the bottom data)....
Here are the 2 methods Ive tried so far using excel 2003)
Top 34%:
=IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*34%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*34%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*67%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*100%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))
I have a column of numbers and want to make sure everything has been entered correctly from our scanning software. Basically, I want to automatically highlight any cell that has any letter in it (e.g. z12o2 instead of 21202 or R705 instead of 5705), ignoring any cells that contain only numbers. I haven't had any luck using conditions based on formulas like =ISTEXT.
