Highlighting Lowest Score Without Duplicates Highlighting And Counting Player Skins?

Feb 15, 2013

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 need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array

Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.

Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.

Highlighting Max & Min

Oct 12, 2008

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.

Highlighting Big Changes

Jan 31, 2008

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?

Highlighting A Link

Jun 7, 2008

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?

Highlighting The Odd Value In A Column

Dec 3, 2008

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.

Highlighting Entire Row

May 17, 2009

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.

Highlighting Only Certain Text?

Jul 30, 2014

I have the following code:

[Code]....

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?

Row Highlighting Not Working?

Aug 4, 2014

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.

Highlighting And Printing ...

May 8, 2008

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.

Highlighting A Row When Clicked?

May 2, 2014

I have this module code in VB:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Conditional formatting rule applied to range.

=CELL("row")=ROW()

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.

Automatically Highlighting A Bar Chart

May 23, 2014

I'm currently writing an automatic report to display information about a store and how it compares to its peers. My company works on a National>Region>Area>Store basis so my report lets a user select a store and the excel file brings back all the data for the relevant national, region and area data for comparison. That works fine.

I now want to develop a set of pages which display data for that store compared to other stores in the same area. For example: [URL]

My report brings back all the stores, ranks them by their performance against target and then puts them in a sorted table using vlookups. I then want to put them into the bar chart shown above, with the store selected highlighted with a different colour. In the example above, the Hunslet store is selected so its bar is highlighted.

Is there any way to make the store highlight automatic? I manually set the colours in the example but I don't want the user to have to do that each time. It would be possible to do using a macro, but I try and avoid them where I can since VBA knowledge is extremely limited in my office.

I have named ranges containing the names and lookup codes for the selected store, area and region .

Highlighting Same Postcodes In A Spreadsheet

Feb 26, 2009

I run a delivery business & work comes in bit by bit by postcode. I thus enter the postcodes into my spreadsheet.

Then when it comes time to process the work I'm wanting to be able to do something that will highlight all postcodes that match the same colour.

I posted this query on another forum & a helpful guy gave me the code below which worked a charm, but only for a while. Since then I have slightly tweaked the spreadsheet, taken a couple of fields off & added a couple. The code now hardly works or if it does will only do one column or row & not the complete spreadsheet.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim oDn As Integer, oAc As Integer, Dn As Range, oPC, nDn As Integer, nAc As Integer, Ac, c, p
Dim Rw1 As Range, Rw2 As Range, Rw3 As Range, Rw As Integer
If Target.Address(0, 0) = "A1" Then
Set Rw1 = Range(Range("E2"), Range("e" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Set Rw2 = Range(Range("G2"), Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Set Rw3 = Range(Range("I2"), Range("I" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Rw = WorksheetFunction.Max(Rw1.Count, Rw2.Count, Rw3.Count)
oPC = Range("E2:I" & Rw + 1)

c = 2

For oAc = 1 To UBound(oPC, 2)
For oDn = 1 To UBound(oPC, 1)
If Not oAc Mod 2 = 0 Then
If c = 25 Then c = 2
c = c + 1
