I am trying to set up a workbook for work that will highlight duplicates. I know how to use conditional formatting to do this, however, I would like each duplicate "set" to be a different color in order to better identify. The area that I need to search for duplicates is E3:E27. How can this be accomplished?
See attached work book, it is an mot booking system that is all working fine except for one thing that I don't know how to change.
At the moment if you double click a cell in the test type column it enters the required data and turns the cell green highlighting the length of time and values this is all good but I am wanting the ones that start with n-side to turn yellow just so that we can see our own internal tests easily. It is control in the coding not formatting . Is there a way this can be done?
I found this spreadsheet on here and I have been trying to customize it to what I need. I am trying to have scores from skins match highlighted. I want only the minimum score to be highlighted but if there is another duplicate minimum score I don't want it to highlight anything. I also need to find a way to count the skins won by each player and have it off to the side.
For those not familiar with golf a Skin is a game where you try to get the lowest amount of strokes on a specific hole. Ex- 4 people play the hole one. P1 scores 4, P2 gets a 3, P3 and P4 get 6. The skin would go to P2 who has the lowest score on that hole.
Highlight lowest number in each column not highlighting if there are duplicates starting at L6 down to L11 and for each column till AC. And the same for the group just to the right on attached file.
On row 13 and 14 it tells me who won a skin. I want to tally up the total skins won by each player. so if Joe's names shows up twice on R14 I want it to tell me somewhere in the sheet Joe = 2
I have a column "A" with a cell for each week's income (A-1 thru A-52).
Is there a way to program these 52 cells so that the cells reflecting the "maximum" and the "minimum" amounts of weekly income, would be automatically highlighted in some way? Of course the "minimum" would have to be able to not use the cells representing the weeks that have not occurred yet. These cells will also need to be able to change automatically as weekly income amounts change.
I am interested in finding out how I can highlight the row I am currently working in? When I move rows, I want the highlighting to move to the appropriate row.
I've a large spreadsheet packed full of values, and % variences etc etc
My boss has tasked me to try and highlight each week the major changes from the week before.
The whole spreadsheet is full of vlookups based on a cell - Z3 in this case. Cell Z3 is a week number, and when i change that, everything is updated based on a load of other sheets.
Is there a quick and easy cheatuing way using some code that i can analyse all the changes from what the values were before, to what they are now, and highlight the major movers?
I am trying to use VBA in Excel 2007 to change bar chart series colors. I have found a few posts that link it to a cell background, but I'm struggling to find one that does the font color.
It would be great if I could change the bar chart series to match the color of the text in the A column, so that if I highlighted the value in A1 and changed the text color to orange for whatever reason, the chart updates the value of 1.2 to an orange bar (see below).
I have a range of cells that change colors with conditional formats based on the cell value from high to low. I would like to link the cell color to an object such as a circle or rectangle. When the cell value changes along with the conditional format, the color of the object will also change.
One of the action's on a large group of the controls is the same but except for one number
here is an example
If TextBox107.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell. Offset(0, 53).Font.ColorIndex = 3 If TextBox108.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 54).Font.ColorIndex = 3 If TextBox109.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 55).Font.ColorIndex = 3
This makes a cell that correlates to the textbox red if the text in the textbox is red.
Now, I loads of these textboxes that all need to run the same code with just the Offset value one digit higher than the last and I was hoping I could create a loop to avoid a huge block of code but I can't work out how to make a constant that will +1 with each loop.
Also, can I assume that a loop will start with the control with the lowest number i.e. Textbox1 and then work its way through the rest of them in order?
I wrote a macro to color the cell values in the rows based on their average value. For eg if the cell value is less than 0.2 Avg, they should be red color,if value is between 0.2 and 0.5 it should be yellow. This part is working fine
Now based on the color of the rows cells , need to write a macro for the header one. Logic is Coloum header should be in red colour, if in one or more number of rows cells are red. same with yellow ones. Could you please help me out in solving this with logic.
I have attached the relevant spreadsheet for which I need to alter the color of the columns based on Site number ( Sheet 1). % Mortality will be represented in the Y-Axis, and the Site numbers would be on the X-Axis. All columns (% Mortality) except one will be of the same color, and the one of a different color will indicate a specific site. As an example, site 86 is colored differently. The way I require the chart to look is shown on Sheet 1.
After reading through some great posts on Ozgrid, I managed to do this using conditional formatting (Sheet 2), but that sort of falls short because I am required to add a data table to the chart, and the parameter that is indicated by the column bars happens to appear twice in the data table.
I was wondering if this can be automated maybe using VBA, but with the possibility of simply matching the color of columns with the font color of respective entry in the data series.
I'm trying to add a textbox at the current position (selected cell) with a set size, fill color, and border color. I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8(VS.80).aspx:
I have created a data base of all the spare parts we have at work.
In the last column I have entered a hyperlinks that take you to a layout of the store and shows you where the part is located i.e. – 1C would take you to shelf ‘1’ level ‘C’ on the drawing in another tab in the same Excel workbook.
I would be pleased if anyone could help me by suggesting away that I can make the destination cell highlighted or more prominent once you have clicked on the link.
Also can I make the Find window automatically appear when the workbook is first opened?
I have a worksheet, the data flows from different columns, like a,b,c and the result is in d column. The entries are spread from 1 to 45 rows. The format of data is five digit number. As I have formatted the cells as "custom" like "00000", the Zero is shown on left side, but when the column is copied/pasted in another column in certain entries zero disappears. Is there any way to get the 4 digit entries, highlighted, so Zero can be added on left side manually directly to the concerned entries, instead of checking each and every entry.
This problem has been driving me insane, as I thought it wasn't possible to do in excel however this morning I accidentally pressed a shortcut key on my keyboard and what I wanted, happened.. pity I can't remember how I did it.
How do I highlight an entire row, but remains highlighted when i enter info in the cells until i move down to the next cell? Eg. I click on row"1" so that all cells are highlighted, then while entering info in B:1 - the entire row is still highlighted? This will be very useful in my line of work.
I know there was some information on conditioning formatting, but surely there is a way to do it via keyboard shortcut since i accidentally did it just before.
Which is conducting a wildcard search of roughly 15,000 rows of data. It is a wildcard search comprised of street names. So, if a user types "Wood" in ComboBox1, it may return Woodmont, Northwood, or any other combination. Is there a way, when the search results are populated, to highlight only the "wood" (in this case) part of the response?
I can not figure out why only the color index 5 and 8 are working in the example- (1). To tun it say "no" to the initial prompt that comes up and select 1 from the dropdown in A2. Before some additional functionality was added it was called TestBook and that highlighted appropriately.
I have attached a sample sheet which is for invigilation of exams. In columns D, E & F are the initials of people invigilating at different times. What I want to able to do is to print personised sheets for each person where there initals are in bold and the box has a black border around it. This is very labour intensive if I do it manually as have to highlight one person, print, unhighlight and rehighlight the next person and so on. What I was wondering is could I use a macro to automate this process. So it has a list of all the initals and it searches through and highlights the person and prints it and then moves onto the next.

This highlight's the row yellow when a cell in that row is clicked, however it only highlights the row when you refresh the page by scrolling off the cell and back again. It just feels a bit flaky.
I have a spreadsheet that I need to highlight the last row next to the name in column E where the date in column C is 35 days or less than the current date in cell A2.
For eg if there are 10 names containing the name "James" in Column E and the last date in column C (say C20) in line with James is 35 days or less than the current date in A2, then the entire row from A to G for eg A20:F20 must be highlighted in grey.
I need VBA code that will do this for me.
I have attached in sample spreadshhet. In the attached example A14:G14 and A16:G16 must be highlighted in grey
I have a spreadsheet with one column. For example, it contains
A A A A B B C C C D D
I want to highlight the A's and don't highlight the B's and then highlight the C's and then don't highlight the D's and so on. I want to highlight or not highlight the entire row.
how can I highlight any value that is duplicated within the same sorted value?
Example:
I sort column B so that all the names are in order. In column F I want them to be highlighted when there is duplicate name within the same sorted names of B.
I have a column with yes/no. How would I make it so that it would highlight the row if the value is yes and do nothing if it is no? Would I use a for statement.
i am trying to get a VBA to find the value 'TRCO' select the row and highlight the row in red, i have tried the way below but i get an error saying 'type mismatch'.
If Range("b7", "b51166").Value = "TRCO" Then Rows.Select Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 3 End If
In my Excel 2003 worksheet, I need the row color to automatically change to blue (color 5) (bgcolor = #0000FF) - when the user changes the text from VALID to INVALID in the range: B3:B65000.
For example:
Cell B5 contains the text: VALID
When the user changes the text in the field to read: INVALID - then I need the row range: A5:W5 to change to the color blue.
This is probably elementary, but I'm struggling and would appreciate any help as I have very little excel VBA experience to draw from.
I have assembled code which changes the cell color based on a value change in Column A. Column A will contain many different groups of repeating values. This code works well and and I have been able to figure out how to limit the number of colors to only 2. The end result is each set of similar values in column A is visually grouped by one of two alternating colors.
The number rows in the data set is variable as the data set is extracted from SAP. The number of columns is fixed.
What I want to do now is set the cell color in columns B through F the same color that was assigned to the row in column A. So if cell A3 is set to colorindex = 6, then I want to set the range of cells B3 to E3 to the same color.
Here is the code I am using to set the color of the cells in Column A:
I would like to be able to change the color of a cell in V4:AB31 and have the formula in AM10:AM13 automatically calculate the new result. As it is now the user has to press Ctrl ALT f9 for the formula to recalculate.
I have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.
