Formatting "Comments"
Feb 13, 2007
When using Excel "comments" for any cell how can I format the "comment" so it remains where I place it relative to the cell the comment is from? The comment is set to "show".
Example:
If I place a comment in a cell and then add 5 rows (just a number) the "comment" will end up somewhere on the sheet. This is a PITA as I am always moving comments back to there original position.
I have gone through all the "Format Comment" dialog with no method of, for simpler terms, freezing the comment to the cell.

I would like to write a function that enhances conditional formatting capabilities in this way: suppose that cell(4,5) contains a number that can be 0 to 5
in the adiacent cell(4,6) i want to put a function that:
1) write "NO DATA", "HIGH", "GOOD", "MODERATE", "POOR", "BAD" depending on that value
2)Choose color font depending on value
3)Choose color background depending on value
I wrote this piece of
Public Function StatusResponse(AdiacentCell As Range) As String
Dim thisStatus As String
Dim ThisFontColor As Integer
Dim ThisbkColor As Integer
Select Case AdiacentCell.Cells(1, 1)
Case Is = 0
ThisbkColor = 2
ThisFontColor = 1
StatusResponse = "NO DATA"............

I have the folowing criteria :
1) If “Completed" , then highlight as green
2) If “Pending” , then highlight as red
3) If “In Progress” , then highlight as blue
4) If “X Required” , then highlight as green
I need to include in the third conditional formatting box that if the cell populates "Completed" or "X Required", then highlight as green. Is there a formula I can use in the conditional formatting box ? I am using Excel 2000.

I'm trying to create a formula in 1 conditional format rule. The goal is to check if al cel contains "1" or "Z". If the value is "1" the cell must turn black and if it is "Z" it turns red.
If this is not possible, I'd like to only turn it black.
I am not able to use vba and have only 1 conditional formatting rule left in my excel 2003 sheet.

Cell A1: International Studies Academy (P) 9-12
Cell A2: Public
Is there a way that I can get Cell A2 to fill red when cell A2="Public" and A1 contains "(P)"?. I can't seem to get a formula to work yet.

I am trying to use conditional formatting to find cells that have the word "managment" in the text. The problem I am having is that the cells may contain a paragraph and the word may be embedded in the paragraph. I need to either high the word or the paragraph. I can get it to work if only the word "management" is in the cell but not when I add other words to it. I have tried using *management* but this didn't work.

I need to set up some conditional formatting on my spreadsheet, however I am having a little trouble with one of my conditions. The requirement is:
- if a cell value in column X contains the word "open", format row background to yellow.
- if a cell value in column X contains the word "resolved", format row background to green.
- if a cell value in column X contains the word "moved" OR "closed", format row background to blue.
Now I have manged the first two on my own, using the conditional formatting tool and using the formula "=SEARCH("open",INDIRECT("X"&ROW()))".
However I am stuck on the last one. I tried...
=OR(SEARCH("resolved",INDIRECT("X"&ROW())), SEARCH("closed",INDIRECT("X"&ROW())))
However this doesnt work. I tried looking at adding VB script in but to be honest I am not a VB programmer and cant really spend too much time on this. fix the final conditional format so it run if the cell contains either "resolved" or "closed"?

I am having issues formatting an excel sheet. Many of its parts seem unaccessable in excel, at least to my knowledge. What confuses me is that the "check boxes" and other certain cells can be worked with, while others including rows and columns can't. How do I format it so that I can work with all of its parts in excel like a normal worksheet?

I have a list of values in a named range called Categories. I use this list in a validation dropdown.
Can I do a CSE formula in the "formula is" field of the conditional formatting dialog such that if one of the values in the list is not chosen, I can color the cell?
I can do a CSE formula to test a list in a cell:
{=if(A1Categories, 1,0)}
This evaluates correctly. I am wondering if there is a way to make this work inside the conditional formatting window. I am trying to avoid the built in error validation msg box options and would love to use this. It's the most efficient way I can think of. I know I can do it by adding another column (and step) and then formatting on the value in there that has the CSE formula, but I thought I'd see if I could learn something new and if this was possible.

I have in Cell M19 : =COUNTIF(F22:F71,"Active")
In Range (F22:F71) I have all the cells = "Active" but are conditionally formated to only show up when text is valid in a corrosponding cell.
So M19 is always = 50
How can M19 = only the cells in the range (F22:F71) that actually show up "Active" from the conditional formatting?

In column A, I have the following values:
build
chil rat
datcen
mang
nextg
ost rat
omp
sco rat
In column B, I need the formula so it shows values that if column A = "build", "nextg" or "datcen", then the value in column B is "nextg" and if column A = "chil rat", "ost rat", "sco rat", then the value in column B is "mig". For everything else, it should be blank.

I have two worksheets, one with "supplier names", "order numbers" and "delay in days" as columns. The other one with "supplier names" and "average delays" as columns.
It is the column "average delays" that I have issues with, I need Excel to search the "supplier names" column in the "delays" sheet and identify every specific supplier name, connect the delay in days for that order and calculate the average delay in the right cell of the column "average delays" in the sheet "delay statistics".
I have tried the help files and to search this forum but I have found nothing. I have also with my knowledge tried a few different ways using the IF function but nothing so far.
This is something I started doing but it is of course far away from any truth.
=IF(;Delays!B1:B200="Greber")..............
This is the "delays" sheet where I want to find my info. Nothing in the delay column stands for "no delay"...Kinda obvious but you know... So even the "nothing" needs to be included in the calculation..

As shown in the below image. I have some data from A13 to I 13. Currently if I put the cursor on A13 and press DELETE button then all the formatting from A13 to I13 goes off. But the data still remain there.
Is it possible then when I press DELETE the content of A13 then all the data from B13 to I13 should also get deleted ?

I need to prevent users from entering several rows of data seperated by a "/" or a "," or a blank space ""
We use unique identifiers (around 500,000 of them) so I cant really use a drop down box to populate and then make the user select.....
If a user populates a cell with "10005486 / 10045446" or "10005486,10045446" I want to highlight a cell red and then count the instances of red cells on another tab so I can track "errors"
I was intending to use conditional formatting when a "/" or "," or " " is used within a cell. If a user makes this error, I should probably include a msgbox saying why the entry they have made is invalid also....

I have attached an example workbook to this message, with the sensitive data removed. I am trying to vlookup the "cube" for the product number, into the PO worksheet, IF the vendor numbers match.
Example:
On row 2 of the "PO" worksheet, part number AC1000110, should have a cube of 2.5 for vendor # 11170. I'm trying to match the "Vendor" on the "PO" worksheet with the "Vendor" on the "Cube File" worksheet, and then return the corresponding "Cube", (in column F of the "Cube File"), in cell U2 of the "PO" sheet. So, what formula needs to be entered in cell U2?

I am having problems referrring to a range using .Cells
If I try to use the remarked code (red text), it crashes with VBA "400" error for which I cannot find any explanation. It also crashes with same "400" message if I use a cells reference to a numeric column instead of "y").
The code works using the black it loops a column in Sheet("Holidays") and loops a row in Sheet("Schedule"), then color fills 2 ranges in columns in Sheet("Schedule") when the values in 2 cells are equal.
I have attached a scaled down version of my Workbook with this code.

I have two columns of cells that need to be reformatted: B and C. In the B column excel is reading the cells as time (0:41:55.0), I need it to display those cells as a number like this: 00 41 55.0. In column C the cells look like this: 41 : 09 : 47.3. I need the C column cells to look just like the formatted B column cells (41 09 47.3) Also, even though they have the spaces, the numbers should be read by excel as one whole number (i.e. 41 09 47.3 would be used in a calculation as 410947.3)
