MOD Function: Color Every Second Row

Sep 5, 2006

I work for a training company based near Gatwick. We are currently producing a new course and one of the new functions we are using is the MOD function. We are using it to colour alternate lines (Conditional formatting). The formula works great, but we do have a few mathematical questions on it.

The formula is:

=MOD(Row()-C,N*2)+1<=N

The question I have is about the sections in red, why are they there and why do they make it work?

Using IF Function With Cell Color

Dec 10, 2006

how to use an IF statement if the cell color is a certain color? Using conditional formatting, cell A1 is either blank, light yellow, or red. Now, if A1 is light yellow, I want the value in A1=3, if not then the value =5. The formula would look something like:

IF (A1 = light yellow, 3, 5)

Using IF Function To Change Font Color

May 9, 2009

I'm trying to use Excel to keep team standings for a baseball board game. I had no problem calculating wining percentage. Finally figured out how to calculate 'games behind.' Now I'm wondering if there is a way to change the font color of a team name based on their wining pct?

A typical row contains: A2(Team Name), B2 (Wins), C2 (Losses), D2 (Pct (B2/(B2+C2)), E2 (GB). Is there a way to use the IF function to return the 'Team Name' in green if D2>.500, 'Team Name' in red if D2<.500, and 'Team Name' in black if D2=.500 ??

VBA Function Based On Cell Color

Sep 5, 2013

A brief rundown on what I am trying to create. My family and I have a NFL football game we do every year to see who can correctly guess the most winners over the course of the season and then the ultimate winner receives a prize at the end of the season. After years of doing this manually, I decided to try and put my Excel skills to use and create a more "automated" worksheet.

After some heavy research, I was able to successfully create a user defined VBA which would calculate a "win" every time a cell is highlighted (in my case the winning team's name). For example, I highlight New England Patriots and when the formula calculates each person receives 1 in their win column.

However, I have now reached a problem I failed to think of. The formula does not take into consideration the picks everyone is going to make. Not everyone is going to select the winning team, so the current formula I have is giving credit for every highlight. Is there a way to add an if statement to this? For example, if person A selected New England Patriots and it's highlighted then give 1, if not give 0?

I know it's usually hard to base a formula off a cell color.

For some reason, I cannot attach the spreadsheet I am currently using. For a brief overview, cell M1 contains the color which I would use to highlight the cells in the range A2:H17. This formula is in cells B21 - B27.

The VBA which I input was:

Function CountCcolor(range_data As range, criteria As range) As Long Dim datax As range Dim xcolor As Longxcolor = criteria.Interior.ColorIndexFor Each datax In range_data If datax.Interior.ColorIndex = xcolor Then CountCcolor = CountCcolor + 1 End IfNext dataxEnd Function

Where the picks which are made should be logged. Whether each person gets a separate color and the VBA is based on that, or like I alluded to above if there is an X here and it's highlighted or something.

Color Code Values With Function

Mar 5, 2010

I have values that I want to color code in my table. Originally I was tagging them as numbers, but instead I need them as colors.

Function conversion(pVal As Double)

If pVal > 0.05 Then
conversion = "1"
ElseIf pVal > 0.001 Then
conversion = "2"
ElseIf pVal > 0.0001 Then
conversion = "3"
ElseIf pVal > 0.00001 Then
conversion = "4"

End If

End Function

Now I want instead of conversion = "1" etc to be

Function conversion(pVal As Double)

If pVal > 0.05 Then
(make white)
ElseIf pVal > 0.001 Then
(make brighter blue)
ElseIf pVal > 0.0001 Then
(make green)
ElseIf pVal > 0.00001 Then
(make navy blue)

End If

End Function

I want the text and cell the same color (number and cell so the number disappears so that I just have a colored cell but the value is still there if I want to look at it).

Function That Displays Color Based On Outcome?

Apr 10, 2012

If the percent in a cell is more than 10% less than another cell I would like it to turn red. I would like the cell to turn yellow if the percent in that cell is within 10% below the percent in another cell, or if the percent is greater than that of another cell I would like the cell to turn green. How do I do this?

To clarify; If cell a1 is 20% and Cell a2 is 21%, I would like the color in cell a1 to turn yellow since it is less than 10% below cell a2. OR if cell a1 is 25% I would like it to turn green since it is greater than cell a2. OR if cell a1 is 10% I would like it to turn red since it is more than 10% below cell a2.

I've looked at conditional formatting and it does not seem to apply, this seems like it would need an if function combined with conditional formatting.

Excel 2010 :: Color Function Substring

Sep 16, 2012

Using Excel 2010 Pro.

I have a formula to create a string to create a lable for a Trial Balance report
=LEFT(I5&" "&REPT(".",95),101)

But the decimal portion of the string is distracting. I would like to make it a grey instaed of a black so that the text portion of the label "pops".

I don't believe I can do it with conditional formatting and I do not want to do it manually.I was thinking some kind of function or UDF like:

=LEFT(I5&" "&RGB(REPT(".",95),(191,191,191)),101)

Use Function/Formula To Color Interior Of Cell

Apr 20, 2006

I am not looking into a VBA solution for this one and want to keep it simple. I want to enter a basic IF function/formula to make the color of a cell yellow if the condition is true.

Here is where I am stuck/what I am putting inside the cell:

=If( 'Program Tracker'!E16="","",IF('Program Tracker'!E16>= DATE(2006,3,3),IF('Program Tracker'!E16<=(DATE(2006,3,9)),"YELLOW","")))

Where you see "YELLOW" is where I need to put something in so it makes the active/current cell color yellow.

Changing The Color Of A Cell Inside A Function

Sep 30, 2006

I'm trying to create a simple VBA function in Excel so that I can sort and calculate results based on various conditions. I can get everything to work except changing the color of the cell where the output is placed. Here is what I have so far:

Function nameOfMyFunction(arguments)
If conditions Then
nameOfMyFunction = "No GRP"
ActiveCell.Font.Color = RGB(255,0,0)

I'm sure that its something simple, but I've spent long enough on my own trying to figure it out and nothing seems to work.

Color Function Not Work After Copy Paste From Other Sheet

First I want to copy the calculations from sheet "Calc" to sheet "Cost" then in column J in the same row, the background color will change like conditional format on numbers. The code works when copy the calculations from sheet "Calc" to sheet "Cost" but the color function (codes in sheet "Cost") does not work after pasted in sheet "Cost". But the color funtion does works when enter numbers in Column J alone. I know there must be a simple codes that can do this while paste from other sheet. This code is in module

Refresh/Recalculate Custom Color Function Automatically

May 31, 2008

I have this spreadsheet with tons of vba coding. The intent of the spreadsheet is to track invoices as it goes through the approval process. The part that is giving me issues is the first and seventh column. The seventh column is actually a formula that returns how many days between the invoice due date and today’s date. The coding works fine, with one small glitch. Once the dates have been entered, the first column (which contains the color-coding) stops changing colors. What it should do is anything with 0 or less days remaining should show red, between 1 to 10 days, show yellow and anything above 10 days, show green.

So if I enter an invoice with 11 days remaining to pay, it will show green in the first column, but when I open the spreadsheet tomorrow, it remains green, even though it should show yellow.
What I want it to do is refresh every time it is opened, or every day, which ever is easier. There are reasons that we cannot use conditional formatting, one of them being that we want to expand the color coding system to more than 3 colors soon, but I want to get this working correctly first.

This is what I have. I cannot attach the spreadsheet because it contains confidential information.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim h As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim lastRow As String
Dim fRowValue As String

Dim paidCheck As String

Correct Syntax For Function To Find Average Based On Background Color Of Cells In Range

May 20, 2014

I'm working on a workbook that will track staffing patterns.

The workbook has three worksheets: Sheet1 "RCS", Sheet2 "HCT' and Sheet3 "Hidden". I've attached the workbook to this thread. The password for the form is "j".

On Sheet3 "Hidden" I have two tables that are set up to collect the SUM of columns on Sheets1 "RCS" and Sheet2 "HCT". I'm finding the SUM of each range by way of the background color. I've set up the following formulas and when the "data collection tables" are in the same worksheets as the original information, the formula's work perfectly:

The following functions are pulling data from Sheet1 "RCS" and placing them into a table in Sheet2 "Hidden"

[Code] ........

The following functions are pulling data from Sheet1 "RCS" and placing them into a table in Sheet2 "Hidden"

[Code] .......

I have two more functions that aren't working due to the fact that the source values are percentages and NOT plain numbers. The above functions work great for SUM but not for percentages. EXAMPLE--Let's say, 3 sub percentages it gives me the SUM of the 3 percentages (i.e. 85% + 100% + 100% = 285% instead of giving me 95%.

[Code] ........

How might I use the following functions to find the average of the source fields instead of the SUM?

Excel 2007 :: Changing Bar Series Color To Adjacent Cell Font Color

Aug 8, 2012

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).

T. A1 B1

Sample 1 1.2

Sample 2 2.1

Sample 3 1.7

Sample 4 5.6

Color Cell Fonts Based On Text Color Of TextBox Controls On UserForm

Apr 11, 2008

I have got a userform with lots of controls,

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?

Color Column Charts Based On Font Color Data Cells

Oct 27, 2009

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.

Setting Color Of Range Based On Adjacent Cell Color

Nov 1, 2009

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:

Change Font Color Based On Adjacent Cell Color

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.
