Highlight Cells Based On Cell Reference On Another Worksheet
May 27, 2014
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.
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.
I have a macros ( code inserted ) as you can see in my code the macros save the workbook in any file name you chose just by changing the any filename option.
I would like this to be changed so that it saves based on a cell reference, say i has a name in lets say B10 i would like it to save as the name in B10.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Application.DisplayAlerts = False Dim bk1 As Workbook Dim bk As Workbook Dim myfilename As String
I have created a drop down box that allows me to choose multiple different Text Options. Example: Cell B4 has dropdown that lets me choose the Text Options, "House", "Car" and "Truck".
Next, I have 5 or so other columns underneath with their own text. What I want to do is have different cells highlight themselves depending on what is in Cell B4.
Example, if "House" is selected in B4, I want cells B7 and B9 to highlight. If "Car" is selected, I want cells B7, B8, and B10 to highlight. If "Truck" is highlighted, I want cells B9-B11 to highlight. Is this possible to do? I've tried using If/Then statements, but those don't seem to work for this type of thing.
I have been given the following code and it works great. I now need to adapt it to the following scenario: In the attached sheet, the user has to select either, "Suburban" or "Squad" in row 5. If the user selects, "Suburban" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "B". If the user selects, "Squad" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "C".
Look at row 48, for example. If the user enters, "Suburban" in cell D5 then the value they enter in cell D48 should equal "1". If it does not equal "1" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment. Conversely, if the user enters, "Squad" in cell D5 then the value the enter in cell D48 should equal "2". If it does not equal "2" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment.
I need to reference the projected and actual expenses from the total on worksheet 'expenses' So i did so, however, if I change the drop down on the expenses worksheet to only display housing data, then the projected and actual expenses on my budget worksheet changes as well to the new data portrayed on the expenses worksheet.
I need to reference the cell, without it changing when I change the category display, but I need the cell to change accordingly if I enter new data in the overall tablet on the expenses worksheet.
Or do I need to create a seperate worksheet that has the data in and reference my cells on my budget worksheet to that new worksheet?
I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code: =COUNTA(ABC!A:A) What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB ABC CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D 1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date 2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan 3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3) 4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I hope this can be done through conditional formatting because I am not familiar with macros.
Column A - order # Column B - shipping method (this will only be air, sea, or blank; I get this through VLookup) Column C - order ETA
I want to highlight Column C..... if Column B=Air highlight if ETA is in 2 weeks or less; if Column B=Sea or is blank highlight if ETA is in 5 weeks or less.
I have 3 data series, which are each futures contracts. Each of these futures contracts (the one on the left expires soonest) has an expiration date and as that date approaches, one will need to replace it with a new futures contract (the data series immediately to its right) having a later expiration date. This process is called a ‘roll’. I am seeking to create a continuous data series, which will incorporate the appropriate ‘roll’ based on two rules. The rules are as follows:
1) Where the volume of the 2nd contract exceeds the volume of the 1st contract for 10 consecutive intervals, roll on that date. 2) Once the roll date has been identified, roll at the specific time interval on that date that has the highest aggregate volume (between the 1st and 2nd contract). I have laid out the original data in a tab entitled ‘original data stream’. This is how the data will appear at first. In the tab entitled ‘Roll Example’, I have shown what I would like to happen to the original data streams. You will notice that in this tab, the data series are the same as the previous tab, except that they are not aligned as before. The data series to the left ( cells B4: D808) expires ..................................
I am attempting to have a cell highlighted if the adjacent cells are visible, but no highlighting when the cells are hidden. For example, Cell D1 is highlighted when cells A1:C1 are visible, but not when cells A1:C1 are hidden. (this is for the group/outline feature)
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 would like to highlight the cells in Column A the have numbers in them. Starting with that number shift down based on the number that many rows and highlight them.
I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
"Enter a formula that adds the total gross sales for the first quarter in cell B6 in the Q1 worksheet and total gross sales for the current quarter in cell G18 in the Q2 worksheet"
**First ungroup the grouped worksheet
How am i going to formula a total gross that i don't even know what is the first quarter? i don't see anything for first quarter? and in Q2 worksheet G18 i already did =SUM formula Ungroup the worksheet? i don't think my worksheet is even group?? how i ungroup it?
I'm trying to get it so that a cell becomes automatically highlighted if 2 other cells conditions are met. For example, I want cell A5 to become highlighted if BOTH cell B1=Loan 1 AND cell B5=Yes. Here is a mockup of what I'm talking about incase it makes it easier to understand. I'm using Excel 2007.
I have a sheet where i need to highlight cells C3:C140 based on approaching dates. The cells C3:C140 contain dates generated from another file and would be random approaching dates.
The conditions are
1) Approaching Weekends (Sat and Sun) = always turn red 2) 3 days after today = orange 3) 2 days after today = dark orange 4) Other days = light orange
I created one worksheet called: Assumptions. In this worksheet I have 6 different columns representing 6 different cases.
I have completed the first case in a different worksheet called: WL. I would like to copy this case/worksheet WL and be able to change all the reference cells used in case#1: WL to case#2: FA. So all the cells used in my Assumptions worksheet were in the B columns for case 1: WL, for case 2: FA they will all be in the C column, same row, different column.
Any quick way to do the changes?
My case #1 worksheet as over 10 000 formulas, I really don't want to change each and every formula.
I was thinking there was a way to highlight ALL the reference cells used in my Assumption worksheet, so I would have had to drag from B to C cells, only 50 cells. But I can't find it.
I have a master sheet named "Summary" and a number of following identically formatted sheets with lots of different names. I intend to pick out information from cell F7 of each of the following sheets and make the information show on the summary page. On the summary sheet in column A is the name of all the following sheets (spelt correctly), and in columns B, C and D are the spaces for the information I need on the summary sheet.
I need to set up a formula across columns B, C and D that I can copy down, which picks out the name of the sheet from column A and the cell reference within that sheet. So far I have experimented with formulae similar to the below which all keep returning with #REF! I hasten to add that all the Sheets are named and spelt correctly: =INDIRECT("'"&$A1"'!",$F$7)
The F7 would be changed for other cells in columns C and D, and so when I copied this down through all the following sheets on the summary page it should give me hte right results...
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.
My company has complicated time sheets because we have several tasks that are billed differently to different people. Once a month we have to sit down and compile everything from several forms and so forth. I have created a worksheet that pulls all the numbers together so that they can simply be copied and pasted into our reports. The hope was to simply copy this worksheet into a time sheet workbook and it will pull out all of the correct numbers. Although all the time sheet workbooks are set up the same way, whenever I copy the file into another time sheet workbook the program keeps its references from the workbook it was in. Make sense? is there a formula that I can insert into an array to tell it to pull the information from the worksheet with the same name, but in the active workbook?
here is one of the equations I am working with:
{=TRANSPOSE('1st week'!A10:L48)}
so it would look something like this maybe
{=TRANSPOSE('[active workbook]1st week'!A10:L48)} but this doesn't work of course.
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?
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).
Faulty example of what I'm trying to do: =COUNTIFS('WORKSHEETNAME'!A7:A1000,">12/31/2010",''WORKSHEETNAME'!A7:A1000,"<1/1/2012",''WORKSHEETNAME'!F7:F1000,"Excluded")
I've tried INDIRECT, but I cant seem to make it work.
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.
