I would like to select a cell inside my workbook and when it is selected it automatically highlights similar value cells in the same workbook. Is that possible? A Look at the attachment should give you a much better idea as to what I am talking about.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to use the below formula to to return "true" when text in cell (M2) matches text in selected cells on same row (A2, E2, and G2)
However, all formulas I found online that serve this purpose deal with cell range only, not predetermined cells with exclusions.
Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(M2,A2:G2,0),TRUE,FALSE) (This will match all cells between A2 and G2 against M2)
reforming this formula to match selected cells only in-between that range (A2, E2 and G2)?
I have a list of names in Column B (Starting at B5) with assignments to them in Column A. I want the people who receive the file, to enter their name in B1 exactly as it appears multiple times in sheet. And hope to use conditional formatting to highlight (change the back ground color) of each cell their name appears in.
I've used a number of formulas in the Conditional formatting including "=(ISNUMBER(MATCH($B5:$B100,$B$1,0)))", Countif's and "Not(isnumber)..." but can't find a formula that picks up the whole text.
i have data in range c10:h100

I have a worksheet with lots of data on it, resulting in a very busy layout. I have been using "FIND" to search for various numbers within the spreadsheet, however often times it is hard to see which cell "FIND" selects.
Is there a way to enable Excel to highlight the selected cell? For example could "Find" turn the cell yellow when it finds a match?

I have 49 random numbers esquire 7*7 in the cells B2:H8, and the lottery result in the cells B11:H20, and the result dates in cells A11:B20.
What I want is it possible if I select the cell for example in A11, then numbers are in cells B11:H11 can be highlighted in random number esquire, as shown in the example.
And If I select A12 then highlighted number of this row cells B12:H12 and if cell A13...A14...or...?
The problem is when I highlight a row with some color the original color of the row is gone, so I tried this code, and again, it's removing the original format and color for the row This is the code from McGimpsey & Associates : Excel : Highlight row with background colors

PrivateSub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Const cnNUMCOLS AsLong=256
Const cnHIGHLIGHTCOLOR AsLong=36'default lt. yellow

Static nColorIndices(1To cnNUMCOLS)AsLong
Dim i AsLong
IfNot rOld IsNothingThen'Restore color indices

How can I retain the range's historical color so that when I deselect the row it reverts properly?
just bought a 22" wide screen monitor and when working in excel it's difficult to follow from left to right in a row i am looking at. i have 22 columns of info that are in view at any given time. the row number on the left gets highlighted and the cell i happen to be in is outlined with a double line border. is there a way to get the whole row outlined like the single cell?
i know i can achieve this by clicking on the row itself, but i tend to move a lot around the spreadsheet via the arrow keys.
I need to run a macro that compares two columns and Highlights the ineuality rows in both columns
Is it any coding can auto highlite all the selected row which contain "#N/A" in a worksheet.
I am having a problem finding or creating a macro for what i am needing to do. I have a workbook with 2 worksheets (2 months july and august) to figure out a billing process.
I need to be able to First of all search each value in Column A on sheet 2 (august) to Column A on sheet1 (July).
My sheet is set up like this where ID is a buyer and Products 1,2,3...are if they have purchased that product from us
A B C D
1 ID Product_1 Product_2 Product_3
2 100 0 0 1
3 200 1 1 0
4 300 1 0 0
5 400 0 1 0
Better Picture representation attached
Both worksheets are very similar but August may have some changes from July such as new ID's and changed prduct purchases. What I need to do is have each ID in Column A be compared to Column A in the July sheet, but it may not always be the same cell (because of new ID's added they are moved around)..so it need to search for the same ID first then compare. Once it finds the ID, I then need it to compare the rest of the row (the product info) for that ID to see if any products were added or changed to determine billing. And for any changes that are found in the comparison, I need them to be highlighted.
Now in the case that a new ID was added...it wont be in the July sheet, so the whole row would need to be highlighted to notify of a new ID and new billing needs to be added.
This way the billing person can look at the sheet, see the highlited changes and see what is new or needs to be added to a previous ID's billing. Currnelty they are looking at it manually to see if there are changes.
I thought I would get this on my own, but I digress.
I received sample code to populate a listbox from tab names of a workbook, yay!
What I have attempted is to use a user form, enter a string in a textbox and if it match's any string in the list box, then highlight.
Basically, its a simple search engine.
Is there a way that when a cell is selected it will highlight the cell and all of the cells along the same row?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI could not find an easy solution to the find/remove duplicates in a row from left to right.
I have an other option: sort all data in one row, then it will show me, if there are any cells with the same word.
But .. here is my first problem:
First row is A1: AS1 with data.
A2: BB2 with data
A3: BD3 with data
A4: BX4 with data and so on.
When I start at A1 and press Shift/CTRL/Arrow right, it will hilite the row until BX1 and if I use the sort command, it will place all empty cells in front of the data.
What I need is hilite only up to the last column in that row.
So I could slowly work myself downward. Or prehaps there is a formula?
I could insert an empty space and write the formula in A1 and copy it down to A1644.
I'm comparing budgeted dollars vs. actual dollars spent by month. So row 10 has 13 columns (column A is title and then B-M is Jan-Dec) with each cell containing a budgeted dollar amount. Row 26 is same setup but contains actual dollars spent for those months. I want to highlight any cells in row 26 that are greater than the same cell in row 10. So if H26 is $1,000 and H10 is $500, I want H26 to be highlighted in red. How can I do this without having to conditionally format each individual cell as I can't seem to make this work with a cell range in Conditional Formatting?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:
VB:
Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)

When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.
The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..
Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)
Code solution can be entered directly beneath:
VB:
If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True
I have a row D2:ND2 where each cell contains a date from October 1st through to September 20th). I also have a column NI3:NI13 that contains various dates such as Easter or bank holidays. Would it be possible to use conditional formatting (or something else) to highlight all rows below D2:ND2 if the dates specified in each cell in D2:ND2 match any of the dates in column NI3:NI13?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on a tool to highlight cells that have dependents but no precedents. This would be useful for me as I build a number of models and handle models built by others.
I want to be able to easily see where model inputs are and inputs will always be cells that do not have precedents and do have at least one dependent.
I have played with a number of methods with very little success. Is there an easy way to test whether or not a cell has a precedent or dependent within the workbook?
for cell in range
if cell.does.not.have.precedent and cell.has.dependent then
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
end iff
next cell

how can I create a formulae that
Highlight a Cell IF
Its surrounding cells are
+1 or +2
-1 or -2
away from that cell value.
Attached a file for example.
I am trying to write a formula that will return a result based on which list a cell is found in.
Column A comprises of aisle/position information. The values range from B01 to B65, C01 to C65 ... H01 to H65 (Like aisles/shelf positions in a supermarket). This is not a static list, as the information in column A will change from week to week. It will be sorted prior to trying to work with it. The first three characters of the values in A will be what I'm comparing to the list. There is a fourth character that determines further details about the item that are not pertinent to this issue.
I need to match the value in column A to one of the four groups of values below and have the correct color display in column F. The correct color would be the name of the list that the value is found in.
Blue (K2:K61) contains the values B01 through B25 and C01 through C25.
Red (L2:L80) contains the values F01 to F21, G01 to G23 and H01 to H35.
Yellow (M2:M95) contains the values B36 to B65, C45 to C65 and D23 to D65.
Green (N2:N124) contains the values E36 to E65, F34 to F65, G34 to G65 and H37 to H65.
It probably boils down to a nested IF statement that checks to see if LEFT(A2,3) is found in any of the four lists, but I just can't wrap my head around how to write it.
I have two ranges AA:DD and F:G, I have to find matching pair in AA:DD and in F:G and copy H and add as a comment to D, its hard to explain. see my attached workbook.
View 5 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010: I'm working with a sheet where I would like to get accurate results on the make and model of cars sold in a given week. The workbook contains several worksheets each representing weekly sales numbers for different vehicles.
The Make-Models tab has the lists used to create the drop-down selections.
The Sales tab allows one to create an ad hoc report on the total number of vehicles sold, by Make and Model. Cell B2 is named 'SelectedModel' and used in the formula found in column E, Total Sold.
Problem: When I select Honda, for example in B2 of the Sales worksheet then select Accord in cell B3 of the same. The results returned in E2, E3 and E4 are 2, 3 and 4, respectively, instead of 8, 3 and 7.
2 Honda Accords were sold on Monday and 6 on Tuesday of the same week. My formula is only returning the first matched value of 2 whereas I would like it to return 2+6, 8 for week 1. Same goes for other weeks.
Select any other make and model and notice the problem follows. I believe the error is due to incorrect usage of the formula or incorrect formula altogether.
IF(ISNA(INDEX(Week1!E:E,MATCH(SelectedModel,Week1!B:B,0))),0,
INDEX(Week1!E:E,MATCH(SelectedModel,Week1!B:B,0)))
Is there any way we can append the value of selected cells to make it 'value', Basically I need to add ' at the beggining and end of the a value in cells and a comma (,) at the end of it.
Example I have value 12345 in cell A1, When I run a macro by selecting cell A1, it should change it to '12345',
It should apply for all the slected range.
I have 2 col A & F. F col associate with date values & Col A has some color cells.I want to move down those color cells to a selected non-color cell row when run a macro.
I have code which perform to move color cells down to selected cell but problem is, if i have A4 & A6 color cells and i selected F2 cell & run macro then color cell A4 & A6 move down to cell A2 but cell A3 move to place A6. The sequence is
A1A2A4A6A5A3A7A8 & so on but i want cell A3 just push down the order & sequence will be
A1A2A4A6A3A5A7A8 & so on My code is as
Code:
Public Sub Move_colored_cells_rows()
' Instead of moving the entire row , 10 columns will be moved
Const NUMBER_OF_COLUMNS = 10

I am using vlookup to get some data from one shhet in my workbook onto the front sheet
so I have a search box and the vlookup duly does as it should and gets me the data into E28:E100 and fills the cells to the right with corresponding data for each item
Now I select any cell from the first column of the search results I want and it gets pasted into the next empty cell range C4:C22 all this works a treat thanks to lots of help from mr excel. What I want to do (without any more vlookups) is pick up the corresponding cells to the right of the selected cell and paste them into the cells to the right of the pasted cell. I cant do it all at once because there is a different amount of columns between the select area and the paste area... hope this is clear
here is a snippet of code that lets me choose the cell to paste
Dim UserResponse as range
'InputBox to Ask the user to select the cell they want copying
'First direct them to the start cell in the column they are picking from
Range("E28").Select
On Error Resume Next
Set userResponse = Application.InputBox("Choose from List Below", Default:=Selection.Address, Type:=8)
On Error GoTo 0
If userResponse Is Nothing Then
End
Else
userResponse.Copy
(here I want to get the address of the cell into store so I can pick up the addresss of 2 cells to the right of it ie selected cell is E54 and I want to copy that and G54 and N24 and paste them into C8 D8 and F8 repectively)
End If
