Can the backround color on a forms toolbar button be changed or must I use a control toolbar button if I want the button in color? I would prefer using the forms button and have tried customizing (tools/customize/forms) then right clicking on the forms button icon and selecting “Edit button image”, clicked on the desired color and clicked ok.
View 2 RepliesMy boss wants a spreadsheet that has multiple buttons on it that will change the background color of a specific cell to four different colors. Example:
Text written in Cell B3, Button in Cell A3 that will change the Background color of Cell B3 to either Green, Yellow, Red or Blue.
There will be a lot of buttons on this worksheet following the same format as above. I don't want to change the value of what is in the cell, just the background color.
how I can alternate the background color (fill color) of rows in a spreadsheet. Say I wanted every other row to be gray starting at row 10.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn excel 2000, I am trying to count the lines in a spreadsheet that has the first cell in each row highlighed in yellow. Additionally, I am trying to count the number of rows that has a red font used in the cell in column D.
I have reviewed other posts by searching counting highlighted cells, but I do not understand how to complete the entire process. One of the suggestion was to create a vb script in combination with using =cellindex(??). I do not really understand how to create this, name it and the run it.
to create button that run the form!
i did try but the button did not run the form!
I must have disabled right click on the forms button. I usually associate a macro with the button but the menu disapeared. How can I get it back.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a form using radio buttons from the "Forms Tool Bar" and not sure I shouldn't be using the "Control Tool Bar"
I've got multiple buttons and wanted to group them so i used the "Group Box" from the Forms tool bar but now there's a box around the buttons (I've turned off Printing for the box) that gets in the way of other text on sheet. I did some searching and thought I read where you could also use the drawing tool bar and draw a rectangle around the buttons which would then let them operate independent of other groups of buttons but that doesn't seem to work so I'm guessing I imagined it. I also noticed that if you don't draw the "Group Box" around the hole radio button box, they don't work with others in the same "Group Box"
I'm not sure if I should use the buttons in the "Control Tool Bar" but I'm thinking I should so that I have the flexibility should I decide to do something different in the future. I'm thinking about using the buttons to hide a sheet as well as select the sheet for printing, but for now one hurdle at a time.
Lastly I tried looking up some information on how to get the "Control Tool Bar" radio button to behave similar to the "Forms" version of the button (i.e. click the button and it appears to alternate from other buttons in the group), however when I place my mouse over the button it selects it rather than letting me change it's state from true to false.
Try to find a way to automatically change the color of a row, based in changing the name in column A.
I tried conditional formatting but the name (or dates) in column A are not the same (always other and other).
I failed to adapt any VBA CODE (found in GOOGLE) because column A varies a lot.

Is there a way to count the background color from a range of cell? for example: In a range of A1:B5 there are 5 cells highlighted with yellow background, the formula should give me 5 counts for yellow background.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a given som (general) range where I would like a function to change the background color of every second row in a visual basic function.
One could of course just loop through it and use the mod function, but I think there has to be something quicker.
I know about conditional formatting, but it is something I need to use over and over again on Ranges that will differ in size so I would like it to be a function I can just run as part of a sub.
How can I add some code to the routine below in order to change the background color into green?

View 6 Replies View RelatedThere is a color i like to use alot for shading cell background, and i'd like to add it to the background color dropdown. Now, i get to it by clicking "more colors" and then selecting it from that dialog. This is a lighter shade of yellow. I swear it used to be on the dropdown, but i believe it was removed at some excel version, so now its more of a hassle for me to get to it. Is this customization possible? In the macro recorder, it comes out as .Color = 10092543. Now, it will occasionally show up for a while under "recent colors" but then that will go away after a while.

When I open a new worksheet it is purple. The fill color bucket it defaulted to no fill. I select the entire worksheet and click on the 'no fill' and get a normal white background. If I delete anything on the spreadsheet, where the items were deleted the background is again purple. I have to select and again click on 'no fill'. I am constantly fighting this creaping purple. Just started about a week ago.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm admittedly a novice in VBA but I'm trying to simply settnig the background color of the active cell. I've seen various snippets on the web that reference this via setting the color.index variable, using the RGB codes, etc. but nothing seems to work. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I know from tracing thru that the assignment instruction is being executed. I've tried using Selection.blah instead of ActiveCell, etc. also.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a column chart that goes 0-100%. The back wall is red from 0-60%, yellow from 60-80%, and green from 80-100%.
To do this, I shaded some blank cells to the same proportional shape, did a screen capture, saved that image as a file, then imported it back in as the background.
Problem is, those color breakpoints (60%,80%) may change, and that process is a pain. Is there an easier way to do this such that if I change the values the background will change automatically based on the shading of some cells?
On one worksheet I have a list of colours in cells. I want to be able to look in the list the list and return the background colour of that cell. The function i am using is:
=CELLCOLORINDEX('1.1'!$C28,FALSE)
'1.1' is the worksheet name, $C28 is the cell (coloured blue)
It seems to work because I am getting the correct background colour in the new worksheet, however it also returns the number(37) as well.
I just want the background colour to be shown only, not the color's number as well.
Function CellColorIndex(InRange As Range, Optional _
OfText As Boolean = False) As Integer

' This function returns the ColorIndex value of a the Interior

CellColorIndex = InRange(1, 1).Font.ColorIndex
Else
CellColorIndex = InRange(1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex

I have a excel file wherein background color as well as conditional formatting background color is used. However, since printout consumes huge ink for those sheets, i want that before print the code will clear all the background color (done through Fill color & conditional formatting color) and after the print activity, restore those color. the colors are given to faciliate data entry and better presentation.i have recorded the same but background is not restored when I run the code And also sometimes the code doesnot start printing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop an Excel spread- sheet by using some macros. In detail, in my first worksheet, I have something like -
Exp1 ....
Exp2 ....
Exp3 ....

Expn ....
This rows are coming from another worksheet and I have used a macro (developed by me) to populate these rows. Even the number of rows to be populated is not fixed.
However, I would like to add one row with text - " Total Expense" after those rows. This row will have some background color - say Tan - and font color - say Green - and also a border around its own - in nature, the border will be thick, Double and with color Rose. I have tried the following code in macro but not working properly -
Sub Include_Fields_n_Format(loc As String)
tot_exp_scell = loc & f_scell
tot_exp_ecell = loc & (f_scell + 1)
Range(tot_exp_scell, tot_exp_ecell). Merge
Range(tot_exp_scell, tot_exp_ecell).WrapText = True
Range(tot_exp_scell, tot_exp_ecell).Interior.Color = RGB(150, 150, 150)
With Range(tot_exp_scell, tot_exp_ecell).Font...................
The problem is that the cells which need to change are locked and have a object group ontop of them and are not all in one row or column..
The cells which need to change are A4,A5,A6,B6,C6,D6,E6,F6,G6,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6,I6,J6,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6.
It sort of a theme changer for my spreadsheet incase people want a change and can do all of it with one click of a button or maybe click on a cell with the colour on it and have that colour copy itself to the range.
Macro is not working .So the macro I am using is supposed to look back at all the months tab, match the Name from previous tabs and if they match change background color of the active sheet's cell to red.
Right now the macro is only able to lookup the name in the previous tab (i.e. For December it will only lookup November tab and not October-January).
e.g. (Candidate name is Jack King and he is in (october's tab, Column A Cell 2 )
I want this candidate name to turn red once I type his name in November/December tab.

I have an excel sheet in which many cells have a background color of Green. These cells are located all over the sheet. I want to change the background color from Green to Red not affecting the color of other cells in the sheet.
I will be realy really thankful, as I have to do this exercise for more than 50 worksheets.......If I start doing it manually by selecting each celll with green color background and changing it to red.....you can well imagine my condition.....my life would get shorten significantly while doing this.
