Highlight Cell Based On Two Randomly Generated Number
Jan 19, 2014
I am trying to highlight a cell based on two randomly generated number, one is the column and the other is the row. Based on those values I want to change the color of a cell in a range of data. The formula I am using does not work like I intended. It only changes the cell once I enter a value in the cell not until. =OFFSET(A1,B27,B26). B26 and B27 are the cells housing the random numbers and A1 is the base reference.

What I need to accomplish here is to randomly (or at least seemingly enough) generate a number between A and B values for many cells.
I know i can accomplish this through =Rand()*(B-A)+A
However lets say that the lower limit is 96 and the upper is 100. How would i get my data spread to appear to center more around 98-99, with a few randomly placed a little farther out but still within 96-100? I'll say i have 500 instances of this generated number. So what i need is the appearance that most of the numbers lie within the inner range with some anomalies outside that but still within the greater range, having fewer and fewer instances as the value gets closer to the outer limits.
I'm also placing this value in cells using VBA (most likely "for each cell in range(xxx)...")
How would i go about this?

I wish to create a new sheet/workbook which promts the user to enter a start number and an end number. I want to then display 20% of randomly picked numbers between the start and end figures.
For example, the user enters 1 as a start and 20 as an end figure. 20% of this is 4, hence I want the system to randomly return 4 numbers between 1 and 20.

Not sure if there is a way to do this. I'm using excel 2010. I used this function
=INDEX(Sheet5!A1:A149,RANDBETWEEN(1,ROWS(Sheet5!A1:A149)))
I have a list on names that is in the range on Sheet5!A1:A149 I'm using the function to randomly select one of those names.
What I want to do: I want to add the randomly generated name to a range that I can then refer to later to see if that name has already come up. So I know if that name has already been used.

I want to enter a unique ID into an input box which will tell which row that id is available and then it will again ask me which column the cell needs to be highlighted. Once i enter the data, it will then ask me what is the change in data (again via input box). i can then enter the change data and then it stops.

I have a list of numbers in a column, these numbers range from 0 and up.
Based on these numbers I need to have a certain amount of points awarded.
If the number is 0 or 1 then the cell next to it would be equal to (-1)
If the number is 5 or more then for every 5 the cell next to it would get 1 point. For example if it is 17 then the points would be 3.

Is there a way to auto generate a unique number that will stay with the adjacent data record? My problem at the moment is when a record is deleted or the data sorted the ref number changes. I am using Excel 2008

Ok what I am trying to do is lookup a value in a table (kinda like one below but alot bigger). What I plan on doing is creating a drop down list for the rows that show "A, B, C etc) and then another drop down for (AA, BB, CC etc).
So lets say the 2 drop-down list are set to C and BB
I want to be able to fill another cell with the value -134
I would use If statements but like I said the table would be alot bigger than example. If possible I would rather not use VBA due to work security settings.
a b c
AA-110-110-129
BB-115-115-134
CC-117-133-136

Ive been trying to figure this out for a couple days with no luck. I have searched all over the internet but cannot find an answer.
I have a series of columns, and at the bottom of each column I have a cell (which ill call the Total Cell) which automatically adds up the 10 or so cells above it.
What I am trying to do is create a function so that if one of the Total Cells amount drops into the -1000 range Excel will highlight that particular cell or give an error or do something to draw attention to it.

I have a sheet that has 13 players listed in rows down column A. I have 6 columns each representing a quarter in a game. I was wondering what the best way would be to randomly select 5 players in each column and to distribute each cell selection as equally as possible over the 6 quarters.
So what I am doing is having excel designate equal amounts of playing time for each player each game.
Is this possible.
Can I base this off of previous games?

I want to randomly select letters from this distribution (to make random words) but I want the more frequent letters in the distribution to be selected more often so that the word I form have the same distribution. I have the feeling there is a simple solution to this but I couldn't see anything other than the frequency function that I thought I might be able to use. I could populate an array with letters present in numbers according to their frequency and then randomly select from it but is there a more elegant solution? .......

I have a macro that already works well but I need to make a change to it and I can't figure out how to do it.
I need so when the macro is run it will prompt the user for a date. After they enter the date it will highlight cells A:K on each row that data appers.
A little background for this. It is a schedule for a call centre which can show two to three weeks of schedules per agent. We rerun the macro each day to update break times and I would like it so it will highlight todays line.

In a column in which there are repeating numbers is there a formula I can enter into conditional formatting that will highlight a cell when the number doesn't match the value from the value above it?
So in this example the values with an * would be highlighted.
1*
1
1
2*
2
2
2
3*
4*
4
5*

From what I understand this is a simple process but since I am new to programming and I am in need of help. I am trying to write into one of my macros that as it is searching in the sheet if it finds CRL in column C and if it finds a value between -1 and 100,000 in column K, then it will highlight the entire row green.What can I do to add this into my macro?

[Code].....
I am running a time series linear regression on a credit card company. The left most column is the amount of cards they had on a certain year and the prediction is the cards the regression formula predicted. The + and - are the columns added or subtracted the standard error which is 3.25. I am trying to highlight the closest +/- number to the original cards. For example, in the first Row 76.98 is closer to 78 than 83 is so i would like to have 76.98 highlighted...showing that subtracting the standard error gave us the closest prediction. The second column the 87.085 cell should be highlighted because adding the standard error gave us the closest prediction to 86.4.

I have a spreadsheet where if Cell A2 says "Deposit", Rows A2-E2 would be formatted with a Blue background.
I've tried conditional formatting, but I can't built it into a Macro (I can't make it run), and it only highlights the cell that has that value. I also tried having the spreadsheet filter down to only the values I want highlighted, then highlighting all cells and un-filtering the column- this didn't work either.
It would basically say :
If (any cell in Row A) has text = "Deposit" (it needs to be exact, it can't be "containing"), set cell with the word "Deposit" and 4 cells to the right as Blue (I'm not picky about the color).

INVENTORY-TRACKER.xlsx
I have a attached an inventory spreadsheet that I use at work. The only active column that gets data entered into it, is column E "Qty (Pcs)". I enter quantities of inventory in this column.
In column B is the part numbers for product. The letters at the end of the part numbers are associated with certain colors that you can see in the small chart to the right of the report. H=Yellow, M=Blue, S=Green, V=Orange and P=Purple.
What I am trying to achieve is when I type a value in the Qty (Pcs) row. I would love for the entire row that contains data to highlight in the respective color based on what letter is at the end of the part number in column B.
Example - I type 100 in E2 and the entire row of data turns Orange because the V at the end of 13001 is associated with Orange.

I need a macro to highlight a cell based on other cells.
For example:-
1. I wants to highlight A3 in red if all the cells from I3 to Y3 are empty.
2. I wants to highlight A3 in yellow if I3 is filled and J3 is empty
3. I wants to highlight A3 in green if if I3 is filled and J3 is also filled.
Actually I am having a grid which shows all the components of watch like KIt, case, dial , strap,hands.
The A row is purchase order no and then I3 and J3 belongs to KIt means if a po is not then I3 and J3 are empty so A3 is high Lighted in REd and if a po is placed then we put supplier name in I3 and it changes the color to yellow and when a po is confirmed we put confirmation date in J3 so A3 turns to green.
So in this way we can see if any Po is not yet placed or not yet confirmed based on cell color.

Let's assume Cell A2, A3, A4, etc, only contain names/text.
Then let's assume I have set up cell B2, B3, B4, etc, to contain a percentage value based on a formula and some other entries I have made.
It should be simple, but I'm having trouble - how do I set up A2, A3, A4, etc, to highlight into different colours based on Column B's data/percentage falling into a certain range?
ie: - if B2 is between 0% - 25%, then highlight A2 green
- if B2 is between 26% - 50%, then highlight A2 orange
- if B2 is between 51% - 100%, then highlight A2 red

I am trying to find a way to automatically highlight all the cells specified by the cell references in a column on another worksheet (which will constantly have new values added).
On the attached sample, the 'Data Before' tab shows the base data before any highlighting. As cell references are added to the 'References' tab in 'column A' I want the respective cell to be highlighted on the 'Data Before' tab resulting in the 'Data After' tab and each time a new cell reference is added to the 'References' tab, the respective cell is then highlighted on the 'Data Before' tab.
I would like to have control over the highlight colour so that a different highlight colour can be specified for each date change, i.e. all cell references that are shown on the same date are the same colour but where the date changes a different highlight colour can be specified.
