I must be hitting a key by accident sometimes which makes Excel highlight the cells immediately below the ones I want as well. So, if I click in the middle of cell A1, it also highlights A2, A3 and sometimes A4 even though I haven't dragged down over them.
Why is this? I can't work out how to stop it doing it. Some previously recommended hitting F8 but this doesn't seem to stop it.
I'm looking for a formula to use with conditional formatting that highlights cells if any of more than 3 conditions is met. I saw it on this forum before, but I can't find it with a search. It was something like =or(condition1),or(condition2), etc.
I have a routine that highlights a selected Active Cell, but when I printout the spreadsheet this highlight is not printed.
I have been pull my hair out (what's left!), to try to show this highlighted cell when printed.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Intersect(Range("d22:u45"), Target) Is Nothing Then Range("d12").Value = " Out" Range("e14").Value = "0" Else If Intersect(Range("d22:u45"), Target) >= 3 Then Range("d12").Value = Cells(19, ActiveCell.Column).Value Range("e14").Value = Cells(21, ActiveCell.Column).Value Static rngPrev As Range, PrevColor As Integer Dim TempColor As Integer TempColor = Target.Cells(1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex
If Not rngPrev Is Nothing Then If PrevColor <> xlLineStyleNone Then .......................
Using Excel 2003 I am trying to write a macro to set the print area according to the amount of data in a particular range of cells. I find I can include this instruction
I have this bit of code that highlights every other row. I would like to modify it so that it doesn't highlight the entire rows but instead stops at the column of whichever cell contains data.
For instance if I’m using a block of cells such as A1 to C5 it would highlight A2-B2-C2 & A4-B4-C4 only. Later on if I insert data in D3 it would now highlight A2-B2-C2-D2 & A4-B4-C4-D4. Anytime that data would be inserted into a new column all row highlight would now adapt to the new length of the table.
Here’s the Sub ShadeEverySecondRow() Dim lRow As Long lRow = 0 Do lRow = lRow + 2 If IsEmpty(Cells(lRow, 1)) Then Exit Do Rows(lRow).Interior.ColorIndex = 15 Loop End Sub
In excel sheet some times I highlight Cells, Rows or Columns for references but while printing these highlights get printed. is there any formatting tip so that only values are printed but highlights don't get printed (not even in grey scale).
Just wondering if it is possible to put a check box with a macro say in cell C3 that when you tick the box it changes it to green as completed, but after a set time say 2 weeks the check box clears itself and changes the colour to red to highlight that its due again. Also when you tick the check box it inserts a date in another cell say D4 when it was ticked.
Reason for this is am trying to make a spread sheet with different products that require different testing frequency, some monthly some weekly and some fortnightly. At the moment we are just using a white board and staff just tick task completed problem is they need to check when last done especially when test required is of every 2 weeks and people forget.
If I make a spread sheet and it highlights the check box in red like I want to above at least it will give them a visual reminder that it is due.
Is there a way to pause a macro while it is running? For example:
COL A COL B 1 2 b 4 5 5
My current macro highlights all characters in this case b. Is there a way to make it stop when it highlights b, and make it continue running when I want? I'm using a Form for this purpose.
I've seen a spreadsheet where the user can click on a cell, and the row the cell is in automatically highlights.
This is useful where there is a lot of columns, and it also looks pretty snazzy!
How do I do this? I know one way is to put the following code in when you right click the sheet tab and choose "view code":
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) UsedRange.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 End Sub
But then I can't have nice background colours for other cells. Any suggestions?
btw, I've v. new to VBA - best to assume I know nothing!
attached is the sheet u have prepared for me but there is a problem in this sheet that it highlights only the first value in a cell however my requirement is to highlight the every value in a cell if matching with the search criteria.
I have a two way data table for which the two variables are changed frequently. In the data table, for ease of reference, i usually highlight the corresponding row and column of the two most current variables the intersection of which gives you the current output. But these highlights need to eb changed each time the variables are changed 9the table is copied onto another document for presentation hence the need to keep changing the highlights).
I was thinking of configuring the highlighting process to happen dynamically, i.e. the row and column highlights change dynamically when the variables are changed.
Trying to use VBA to prevent users from sending a form unless all fields have been completed, then highlight blank cells, and send a pop-up message that all cells in myRange need to be filled out. Otherwise, send the worksheet.
My code will highlight the blank cells, but it only highlights one cell at a time and then I have to click on the pop-up message for it to highlight the next one, and then the email still goes out.
How can I fix this to highlight all the blank cells at once, with only one pop-up message, and prevent the email from going out?

I have a spreadsheet with conditional formatting that highlights my data range in a row red when their is no data entered in cell (E2) with this formula =COUNTIF($E2,"")>0 Now my question is...How can I make the highlighting go away if I enter information into cell (C2)? I added another condtion that said =COUNTIF($C2,"")
I occasionally give presentations with Excel and would like to make it easier for the audience to see a particular cell when I move to it. The cursor can be tiny, and some people have a hard time seeing the cursor, so I use the keyboard to navigate to the cells I talk about. Yet, the cell, which then has a border around it, still can be hard to see.
Is there a way in Excel to have a cell that is highlighted, that is I move to a cell with the keyboard, so that it pops out in a different font color or background or format, when I move to it, and it automatically reverts to its usual format and color when I move away from it?
I am trying to write a macro which highlights all the cells with any reference to other cell. The macro should highlight a cell with formula like = 3 * A25 but not highlight a cell with following formula. = 3 * 0.4535566. 'Hasformula' property is not useful here as it can't distinguish between above examples.
I have data in cells that are separated by pipe characters. What I need to do is to highlight the cells that are not the same. For instance, if a cell contains xxx|xxx then the cell is not highlighted but if a cell contains mmm|mmm|xx then the cell needs to be highlighted.
Sheet1 Â A1xxx|xxx2rrr|rrr|rrr3ttt|ppp4OO|OO|OOO5zz|zz|zz|tz6aaaaa|aaaaa7jj|jj|jj|jj|jj|jj8yy|yy9ww|tf|mz
I have a workbook and trying to copy all the way down the workbook using F4 blanks etc. When I highlight the column I want to fill in its not highlighting all the cells.
I have a spreadsheet that I need a m acro for, that will look at cell C13, if it is a 0 (zero) then hightlight cell C1 yellow. And so on, if C14 is zero, highlight C2.. Also look at the cells below, cell D13, if it is a 0 (zero) then hightlight cell D1 yellow. And so on, if D14 is zero, highlight D2..
I'm after a formula (or similar) that if cell H1 has no data in then cells A1:G1 must be highlighted in a colour, considering A1:G1 has data in. And then when data is input into cell H1 then the highlight disappears. is this possible?
I am trying to create a special workbook for my asphalt project. After inputting all of the day's truck information, I want to add up the total tons and then for the program to highlight which truck puts the total tonnage at or slightly above 500 tons. I'm not sure if "isolating is the right term to describe what I wish to do or not, but my whole workbook will be based off of similar actions like what I'm requesting. Here is a portion of my sheet:
I have a sheet that I have item numbers in a column that i want to highlight and change color when they are not the same. I want the colors to be unique to each number. I am currently using conditional formatting (Format cells based on their values (3-color scale)). I works alright but not perfect.
