Is there a way to automate this?
I have got a userform with lots of controls,
One of the action's on a large group of the controls is the same but except for one number
here is an example
If TextBox107.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell. Offset(0, 53).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox108.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 54).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox109.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 55).Font.ColorIndex = 3
This makes a cell that correlates to the textbox red if the text in the textbox is red.
Now, I loads of these textboxes that all need to run the same code with just the Offset value one digit higher than the last and I was hoping I could create a loop to avoid a huge block of code but I can't work out how to make a constant that will +1 with each loop.
Also, can I assume that a loop will start with the control with the lowest number i.e. Textbox1 and then work its way through the rest of them in order?
This is probably elementary, but I'm struggling and would appreciate any help as I have very little excel VBA experience to draw from.
I have assembled code which changes the cell color based on a value change in Column A. Column A will contain many different groups of repeating values. This code works well and and I have been able to figure out how to limit the number of colors to only 2. The end result is each set of similar values in column A is visually grouped by one of two alternating colors.
The number rows in the data set is variable as the data set is extracted from SAP. The number of columns is fixed.
What I want to do now is set the cell color in columns B through F the same color that was assigned to the row in column A. So if cell A3 is set to colorindex = 6, then I want to set the range of cells B3 to E3 to the same color.
Here is the code I am using to set the color of the cells in Column A:
I have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.

I am looking for a very simple script that will achieve the following:
On the clicking of a button, Select and shade in a cell yellow, delete the yellow shading of the previous cell. The shading & selection should move up a column of cells, 1 at a time, in the following order:
From B10 to B9, then B9 to B8, B8 to B7 etc until the selection and shading is at B2. Once it is at B2 subsequent clicks will simply keep it at B2 (the top). Thus after 8 clicks the shading & selection should travel from B10 to B2, with only 1 cell being shaded yellow and selected at any one time.
I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet consisting of many worksheets (20 or so). Each of these worksheets contain detail level data regarding different projects. One of the columns in these worksheets is the 'Status' column (column F). There is conditional formatting on this column where if the text is 'G' then change background to a green color, 'Y'=yellow, 'R'=Red and 'U'=Grey.
The first worksheet is a summary sheet that I would like to pull information from each of the detail worksheet's columns B, D, E, G and H if the status column (Column F) is 'R' or 'Y'.
The number of rows in the detail worksheet can change each week (as few as 0 and as many as 100)
I have two columns. In column B is the date of "last check". I column A is the date of "next check". I would like to have cell A2 in yellow color 334 days after the date entered in cell A3 and than in red color 365 days after the date entered in cell A3. Same thing for cell B2 related to date entered in cell B3. Yellow color in cells announces that check will expire within 30 days and red color that check has been expired.

On the sheets there is a cell containing the results of calculations and I need the cell referencing the sheet in the index to change background colors depending if the calculations value is greater or less than 0. I currently have working code that also changes the tab color of each sheet depending on the value, but i am trying to add the index cell background change functionality into that. also, the index listings is subject to change. my working code is

I keep getting the runtime error '1004: application-defined error or object-defined error the thing is, i ran the cell background changing code in a normal macro before integrating it in my other worksheet code first and it worked fine. I have a little code experience, though not much in vba and I am unsure what the issue is. if there is another better way to accomplish what I'm tring to do, that would also be fine.
I am working on developing QR Codes using some MATLAB code and it would be really convenient if I could create an excel program which changed the background color of a cell containing a 1 to black and a cell containing a 0 to white.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a search on this site and found some code I was looking for (see link:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...e-in-cell.html - Leith Ross's response code).
The code works perfectly, however, if I save the workbook with a different spreadsheet on top than the spreadsheet referred to in this code, I get an error message: Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed.
I should state that I did change "Private Sub Workbook_Open()" to "Private Sub Auto_Open()".
I assume I need to modify the code but am unsure as to how.
I have values in a number of cells. Next to them, if there was a value, regardless of what the value is, except blank or zero, i would like the cell to turn blue and if possible have a 1 in the cell.
I've used the conditional formatting, however, among the options, 'less than' is the closest to to getting the color right. The issue is that if the cell has nothing in it, it still colors the corresponding cell blue; because it is not less than the already blank cell. If it is blank, I don't want it to color the cell.
I would like to add a value to a cell. The value in this cell will either be 1, 2, 3 or 4.
The value of this cell needs to be "1", if the cell to its left is "Red".
The value of this cell needs to be "2", if the cell to its left is "Purple".
The value of this cell needs to be "3", if the cell to its left is "Green".
The value of this cell needs to be "4", if the cell to its left is "Blue".
I believe I need to find the HEX values for the colors, but that is no problem, I just need the formula of the function if you know it.
I have a chart full of different names which I need to separate them by color when a specific entry is found in a Cell. For example the list has the store name "ZELLERS" + its branch number. (ex. ZELLERS #276 PL or ZELLERS #295 SL and so on). I would like to modify the below code so that It only check for the name ZELLERS and not the branch number. If it finds ZELLERS in any cell In the Range of C1:C500 then color it Red.
Below Code does that but I have to write the exact name as it appears in the cell otherwise it wont find it for me. Is there any way to resolve the issue? I am not an Excel Programmer but Only an Excel user.

I want to change the color of worksheet tabs based on a cell's value. The following code works great, except I can only seem to get it to work when using "$A$1" as the cell's address. When I give the cell a defined name at the sheet level it does not seem to work. I want to be able to use the same code on varying worksheets that will have the cell in different locations. How should I be calling the cell using the defined name?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Select Case Target.Value

I want after entering data in a cell in the range that cell highlight color from column A in the same row.
For example:
If I type in a cell G14 data and after pressing the enter key the cell should highlight the same color as the cells in A14
If I type in a cell F10 data and after pressing the enter key the cell should highlight the same color as the cells in A10
I would like to color the cell to the right to red if the value of the cell is less than 104 and when a value is entered to the colored cell then the color index should be none. More information in the uploaded file.

I've been trying to shade a cell (A2) a certain color based on the value in another cell (B2), but I can't seem to get there with the code I've pieced together from other code snippets. I have a table of cities ("contacts200805_table") where the city cells are color coded based on which person is assigned to work in that city. People are often reassigned to different cities, so I'm trying to create a macro that will update the cell color for me.
I use a different software to generate the list of people and their assigned cities. I copy the list into a table ("input_contacts"). The city info populates A2:A1043. The person's name populates B2:B1043. "Input_contacts" and "contacts200805" have the exact same cities and always will. The people will change. I use the "input contacts" table to just dump the new list. The "contacts200805" table is what I use for the report, so the format can't be changed. Here is what I want my macro to do:
start macro
select the "input contacts" table
copy the people in range B2:B118
select the "contacts200805" table
paste the people in B2:B118 which is next to the city column (A2:A118)
repeat for other columns
look at the name in cell B2 on the "contacts200805" table
if name = jane doe then color the city cell (A2) red
if name= john hanson then color city cell green, etc. (I have 6 people to compare)
repeat check for all cells that contain a persons name (columns B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P & R).................
how do I turn a row range a different color based on an answer in a cell value for example:

Turn grey the range C4:G4
I'm putting the sum of 3 cells in a 4th cell(D2). If the sum is greater, I would like the sum to be the color green. If the sum is less, I would like the sum to be the color red. Is this possible?
(D2) has change value, I want to compare the new value against the existing one.
Quick question, I know how to change a cells background / text color based on it's own value using conditional formatting but what would be the formula to change cell A1's background color based on the value of cell C1?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to figure out how to change the color of a specific tab based on information being entered in cell "B9" for each sheet that the tabs represent. If there is information in cell B9 on "tab 1", I want only tab 1 to change a color. If there is no information entered in cell B9 of tab 2, then I want tab 2 to stay with its default color.
There are 34 tabs I want this to happen to, out of just more than 60 total tabs on the worksheet.
A brief rundown on what I am trying to create. My family and I have a NFL football game we do every year to see who can correctly guess the most winners over the course of the season and then the ultimate winner receives a prize at the end of the season. After years of doing this manually, I decided to try and put my Excel skills to use and create a more "automated" worksheet.
After some heavy research, I was able to successfully create a user defined VBA which would calculate a "win" every time a cell is highlighted (in my case the winning team's name). For example, I highlight New England Patriots and when the formula calculates each person receives 1 in their win column.
However, I have now reached a problem I failed to think of. The formula does not take into consideration the picks everyone is going to make. Not everyone is going to select the winning team, so the current formula I have is giving credit for every highlight. Is there a way to add an if statement to this? For example, if person A selected New England Patriots and it's highlighted then give 1, if not give 0?
I know it's usually hard to base a formula off a cell color.
For some reason, I cannot attach the spreadsheet I am currently using. For a brief overview, cell M1 contains the color which I would use to highlight the cells in the range A2:H17. This formula is in cells B21 - B27.
The VBA which I input was:
Function CountCcolor(range_data As range, criteria As range) As Long Dim datax As range Dim xcolor As Longxcolor = criteria.Interior.ColorIndexFor Each datax In range_data If datax.Interior.ColorIndex = xcolor Then CountCcolor = CountCcolor + 1 End IfNext dataxEnd Function
Where the picks which are made should be logged. Whether each person gets a separate color and the VBA is based on that, or like I alluded to above if there is an X here and it's highlighted or something.
I'm trying to change the tab color based on a cell value. This I can do, but only using a Change Event with code in the Worksheet section. I would like it to update more instantly and without the need for a Change on the sheet to occur. So I was thinking a Worksheet_Activate event, or perhaps a Workbook_Activate event, but i can't get it to work.
For further info, if not confusing, the cell referenced in code below (on the Dan sheet) is filled using a user entered variable when the workbook is opened. Depending on this value, i would like the tabs to update their color accordingly and instantly, as well as the color updating if the cell B3 on the sheet is changed. Perhaps I need a Worksheet Activate & Deactivate and Workbook Activate and Deactivate?
Public sPeriod As Long
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
sPeriod = Worksheets("Dan").Cells(2, 4).Value
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address(False, False) = "B3" Then
Select Case UCase(Target.Value)
Case sPeriod - 1: ActiveSheet.Tab.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255)
Case Else: ActiveSheet.Tab.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End Select
End If
End Sub
