I'm looking for a way to make a cell copy the fill color from an adjacent cell.
in my case, cell A1 is a dropdown menu cell, where each option has a different fill color (through conditional formatting). what i want is to make cell B1 copy the fill color from cell A1 automatically. it may be important the both cells have dropdown menus.
I want to make an excel workbook for a client. What I want to do with it is make a set of instructions telling them to add or insert as many rows in specific categories I have made for them. These options differ depending on the different duties performed. There will be an associated number (value for that duty, ex. duty might be Janitor and the number would be like 5 dollars per hour, so on and so forth), I want to make it to where there is a code that notices more rows and adds more IF statements or whatever statements are needed to keep adding those extra options. These values are connected to a data validation list that drives the if statement.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a qualification tracking spreadsheet to track when qualifications are coming due. Each cell may have a different date based on when that employee initially got that qualification. I want the cell that the initial qualification date is typed in to turn "red" after 180days, "orange" after 120 days and "yellow" after 90 days. I have a formula that does close to what I need, but it changes the cell next to it in color.
That code is as follows: =AND(A1<>"",Today()>=A1+90,B1="")
I have attached the sheet, what I am trying to do. Basically columns B-E and rows 2-35 are the ones that need the formatting.

I have excel sheet with colored cells.
Positive cash flow cells all have green background,
Negative cash flow cells, all have red background.
I calculate all the "sub- total" columns into one "total sum" cell. Based on this "total sum" I want the cell background to be red if the total sum is negative, or green if total sum is positive. How do I make the cell change to the proper background color based on whether it's a negative or postive total sum?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this scenario which i need to automate it. I have 5 colums P1,P2,P3,P4,P5. It contains W or L combinations.
In my Column F i Concatenate(A2,B2,C2,D2) together and it follows on for the rest.
Now i have some criteria which i am going to search in my Column G. In Cell I1 i will list my combination to search. It can be as follows :
WWWW
LLLL
WWW
LLL
So what i need to do is search my F column for this possible match. If it is a match I need to color the my Player 1 to Player 5 for that match. I have shown in my example inside the excel. I know the formula for how to find for matches using my combination. But i got no idea on how i can color it with the respective colors automatically.
Yellow = all four W
Red= all four L
Green= will have 3 W and one L
Blue = have three L and one W
I have been given a spreadsheet that turns whole rows different colours when certain data is entered into a cell. I want to locate the code and use it elsewhere, but cant find it?
I have looked at all of the change related procedures in the drop downs, for the Workbook e.g.
Workbook_SheetChange
but no matter where I cant seem to find any code at all.
Is there a way of exporting every line of code and then open this file in notepad to skim through it?
how I might find the code that is making the rows turn different colours?

Is there a way for me to enter numbers in my cells and have them a specific color? I want all my odd numbers to be bold red with a yellow highlighted cell, my even Numbers to be green with a gray color cell.
I want it to look like this 7 and 8. I can not seem to find anything to show the high light but basically the red 7 will be in a yellow box and the green in a light gray. I will be entering rows and rows of anywhere from 4 to 8 digits

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am writing a program in excel spreadsheet and I was wondering how to fill an input cell with color automatically in excel 2007.
I mean that, say I am writing an addition program, I am giving an input numbers in B1 and B2 and i am writing formula in B3 (=B1+B2). I want excel to fill B1 and B2 with yellow/any color automatlically. Only the cells with number input should be highlighted.
I currently use spreadsheets to report on backup processes.
I am trying to speed up this process and one thing that woudl help me is a function that will automatically fill the row with a colour depending on the choice in the dropdown box, so if you choose 'successful' from the dropdown list the row colour would fill to green and if you select 'failed', the row would change to red and a choice of 'completed/errors' would result in orange.
This process is currently done manually and often results in errors like a succesful result with a red filling.
Is there anyway to automate this process? i was trying to whip up a macro, but have been unsuccessful so far.
I am looking for a very simple script that will achieve the following:
On the clicking of a button, Select and shade in a cell yellow, delete the yellow shading of the previous cell. The shading & selection should move up a column of cells, 1 at a time, in the following order:
From B10 to B9, then B9 to B8, B8 to B7 etc until the selection and shading is at B2. Once it is at B2 subsequent clicks will simply keep it at B2 (the top). Thus after 8 clicks the shading & selection should travel from B10 to B2, with only 1 cell being shaded yellow and selected at any one time.
I would like to automatically color the fill of a cell based on the cell contents.
For example, if the cell content is "1" I would like the color of the cell to be cyan and if the cell content is "2" I would like the color the cell to be red.
I've tinkered with several different formulas but I just can't get anything to work.'
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 simplify a spreadsheet. I have a column with dates from last year and I was wondering if there is a formula that would automatically change the color of the cell once the date is over one year to the day to show that the date in the cell has expired?

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.
As I am a fresh user of excel 2007 I do not know how hard it is to solve the problem I am facing but hopefully there is a solution that the readers here are willing to share with me.
I have a list of **-s that I have recorded as a hobby with my friends (karaoke, free concerts...) and I have them coded in a specific way, so that I can find them on a shelve easily. The list is built up in a form that is seen on the example file that I added.
So far I have used my own handwriting and a sticker to label my ** boxes. Itīs not a very good looking combo to be honest. Since I already have all the data in my excel tabel it would be good to use excel to take all the things from there and just print it out.
How to do that? The front cover is easy, I used VLOOKUP function. All I have to do is enter a number into the column C1 and the front label gets filled.
The problem for me is the back cover that should take the right track nr, title and length from several rows (VLOOKUP uses only one row at a time)? How to make it work, that excel would know that on the first album there are 3 tracks and when chaging a number in C1 there would be 2 tracks on a second one.

I am trying to use the worksheet calculate event to automatically change the color of a cell only when that particular cell changes. In E2 of the worksheet is a formula use to determine rating based on the result of 2 other cells. The rating is classified as follows
Low
Moderate
High
Maximum
I would like to generate a different set of color to the cell and fonts for each of the rating. For example,
"Cyan" to the cell E1 and E2 with Black font if the result is "Low"
"Plum" to the cell E1 and E2 with "Black font if the result is "Moderate"
"Blue" to the cell E1 and E2 with "White" font if the result is "High" and
"Red" to the cell E1 and E2 with "White" font if the result is "Maximum"

I am using the following code to copy all rows that have a cell with a background color to another worksheet. In my first workbook this works just fine. In my new workbook, however; it is not working correctly. There are 111 rows that have a cell with a background color (all the same color). When I run the macro it is only copying the last row that has a colored cell. I have been trying to figure out the reason for the last 3 hours and I give up.
Sub CopyColor2()

Dim lCol As Long
Set rReply = Application.InputBox _

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet, where i type in the id of a member and its uses vlookup to search that member, i enter all the other data required.

I have a 2 columns (A and B) next to each other that is using a Sum formula and other multiplying formulas. They reference 3 cells in a different column (C) to come up up with the answer for A and B. Therefore A1 and B1 reference C1 C2 and C3 (and possibly if want to use in future column D with D1 D2 D3).
Then in A2 and B2 I want to reference from C4, C5, C6
Then in A3 and A4 I want to reference from C7, C78, C9 etc.... and so on...
Instead of retyping formulas for each row in A and B, I want to copy down, but I getting the wrong answer when I do that.
I am therefore assuming I typing the formula wrong. How do I type it correctly so the cell reference changes automatically when I pull down columns A and B?
Formula for Column A: =SUM($G28:$G30)
Forumla for Column B: =($G28*$H28+$G29*$H29+$G30*$H30)/$B17
Therefore next row should be referenced from G31 to G33 and H31 to H33
But when I copy it only adjusts it for 1 reference down.
I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet consisting of many worksheets (20 or so). Each of these worksheets contain detail level data regarding different projects. One of the columns in these worksheets is the 'Status' column (column F). There is conditional formatting on this column where if the text is 'G' then change background to a green color, 'Y'=yellow, 'R'=Red and 'U'=Grey.
The first worksheet is a summary sheet that I would like to pull information from each of the detail worksheet's columns B, D, E, G and H if the status column (Column F) is 'R' or 'Y'.
The number of rows in the detail worksheet can change each week (as few as 0 and as many as 100)
