Highlight Cells Up To Last Cell With Data In A Row
May 11, 2014
I 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 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'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?
Is there something built in to excel that highlights the cell or cells that are currenyl selected and then not save any highlighted cells when the sheet is saved. Maybe if not something that is built in but a vba script?
Please see the attached example. I'm trying to highlight cells only if 2 values in the row match 2 values in another row. If a book title/author combination matches that of another title/author combination in a different row, it would highlight. Some alternate rows will contain different titles by the same author, and some rows will have like titles by different authors...but they should not highlight.
The only situation where highlighting would occur is if the title/author pairing appears in another row.
I'm trying to decide if this would be a conditional formatting/highlighting rule, or if it would be a macro/vbs?
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?
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 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
I found this in an older post but I cant get it to work at all.
Sub atest()
Dim rngA As Range Dim sngA As Single
For Each rngA In Selection.Cells If Len(rngA.Formula) > 0 Then On Error Resume Next sngA = rngA.DirectDependents.Count If sngA = 0 Then rngA.Style = "NoDeps" End If End If Next End Sub
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.
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 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.
So it's pretty basic. If we simply remember the first ColumnA and ColumnB data, go to the next row, if ColumnA is the same, then ColumnB should be the same. If it's not, then fill with red, go to the next row, repeat. if ColumnA changes, remember the new pair, go to the next row and compare again.
I've thought about this from a scripting perspective, and imagine that something like this would do the job:
Code: sub FindBadTermID () Dim row As Integer Dim dataA as string, dataB as string Set row = 2
I have a spreadsheet where I have a column of dates and I want conditional formatting to highlight the cell red if the date is less than or equal to today but if the cell is blank to do nothing.
At the moment I have the following formatting applied using the "format only cells that contain" option I have cell value less than or equal to =TODAY() except that obviously highlights every cell red that doesn't contain a date. Is there another conditional format I can apply in addition to this that will not highlight the blank cells ?
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 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.
