In each row top 5 MARKS should be filled with BLUE,VIOLET,YELLOW,RED AND PINK
If its not possible. Top 3 with dark colour, remaining 2 with light colour using conditional formatting
The idea came about after wanting to show a 'gold' 'silver' and 'bronze' background colour, but having to plump for yellow, grey and orange looked a little crap :f
If not, can a workaround be created by using code and a picture or 2?
I've created a humongous spreadsheet in Excel- 26 million cells and a file size of about 500mb. The result of these calculations is a pattern derived by conditional formatting. I'd like to get the pattern into Photoshop- It would actually simplify image manipulation in Photoshop to lose the cell data, and the underlying formulas are of no use.
The file seems to be too big to save into a PDF file. Is there another way to get the Image into Photoshop?. The other alternative is to reduce the file size by stripping out unnecessary cell data and formulas without losing the pattern.
Attached is a table detailing top 20 Incidents and Requests. Requests are highlighted in Yellow and Incidents are in Green. Associated with this table is a graph. What I like to do is if the bar on the graph represents a Request I want the colour to be yellow and if the bar represents an Incident I want it to be green. At the moment I can only choice one colour or a different colour for each bar.
View 4 Replies View RelatedUsing 2007, I need to conditionally format a cell colour based on 5 other cell colours that have been conditionally formatted. The 5 other cells will be coloured either red or greem. What I want to do is have an overall status cell that would be show green if all of the other 5 cells were green, amber if 4 of the other cells were green and one was red and red if 3 or more cells are red.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a vertical list where every other cell is coloured grey. The values contained in the list are regularly sorted into alphabetical order with new values being added and other being removed.
Is there a way to keep the cells alternate grey & white after I have sorted them? Currently, when I sort, if a cell is coloured grey and is moved down one cell the colour is moved and not just the values.
I wish to count the "number" of numbers in a cell i.e.
Cell A1 has the following data: 12 25 25
This should return 3
Simillarly 4546546545646456 1 2
Should also return 3
I will have data such as the above in a row so i need the count to be able to count a range as opposed to the single cell example above.
Furthermore I need a separate count to count the number or red numbers in a cell. Same parameters as above.
was looking if you could change a row of cells background colour if certain word is inputted elsewhere. in b2:f2 is data- was looking if, could these cells background colour change when yes is entered in G2? does not matter which is used, VBA or con formatting just cant work it out.

I want to make the dark grey columns a light green and the red columns a lets say yellow and the text black. Is this possible??
does anyone know of a way to amend this to add the cell to a range say "All_blue" to then copy and paste special values.

What I need to do is have a cell that will be say yellow until there is information put into this cell. The information could be in the format of text or numbers. The information would not always be the same so it would need to be yellow when there is no information in the cell and another colour or white when there is information in the cell.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis question about conditional formatting appears to be easy. Lets say I have a column like the following, like I posted somewhere else: (not very relevant for this)
BGW
3UG
WWU
1BR
UUBRG
WUBRG
7UUGGRRR
How do I have all characters in this column be coloured accordingly to:
W = WHITE
U = BLUE
B = BLACK
R = RED
G = GREEN
So that 7UUGGRRR would automatically switch to:
7UUGGRRR
What I already tried:
- I applied conditional formatting to the column (actually, the cells interval, [C2..C8]) creating the rule: 'format only cells that contain -> specific text' -> then I added "U" as the text and told it to colour blue. As I predicted, this didn't work; the entire cell containing a single "U" will get blue, which is unwanted.
I've got 12 months worth of business accounts which have been downloaded onto a single spreadsheet.
These show negative and positive values. As I only want to work on the negative figs at the moment, how do I highlight the colour of the positive value cells or font to prevent any mistakes ?
i am pretty good with VBA after reading a lot of information on the internet but i have a problem i cannot solve:
I have two workbooks with the same sheet names and I am trying to transfer the interior colour of cells from one workbook to the other...
this is the code i came up so far but it doesn't work
With Application.Workbooks(WB1).Worksheets
For Each ws In Application.Workbooks(WB2).Worksheets
On Error Resume Next
For Each cl In ws.UsedRange
WB1.ws.cl.Interior.ColorIndex = WB2.ws.cl.Interior.ColorIndex
Next cl
Next ws
End With
I'm creating a project calendar in Excel and for each task I have a Start Date (A) and End Date (B) in adjacent cells. To the right are corresponding date cells like a timeline set up with 52 cells representing weeks of the year. I.e Week 1 (C) starts at 02 Jul 12, Week 2 (D) starts at 09 jul 12 etc. up to 24 Jun 14 (BF).
Start Date
End date
02-Jul-12
09-Jul-12
[Code]......
When a start date and end date are entered in the respective columns, I need to have the color start on the cell for that range in the timeline and that color should carry out to the end date cell in the timeline. A bit like a Gantt chart but not to that detail.
I need to be able to take someones name which is in a single cell in the format "First Middle Last" (could be more than one middle name) and then split it up so that it fits the following format:
Last name (must be 50 characters)
Middle name (must be 15 characters)
First Name (must be 15 characters)
I'm unsure on the right combination of operators to use to variably concatenate strings in this way. I'm confident I can figure out how to add the white spaces after a name to make it fit the character requirement but I don't know how to split the initial name up into it's 3 parts. Names longer than the character requirement will just be truncated.

I am looping through and copying screens of mainframe data and appending them to the clipboard. Once done, I start a Notepad and paste it for future massaging. Now I need to perform a check on each screen which requires copying something from the screen, assigning to a variable, and checking it. This overwrites what I've already stored on the clipboard. Is there a way to store what I've got on the clipboard, then use the clipboard for something else, and then reload the clipboard?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe data is arranged as such, there are a list of call types and in another column, there are a list of call lengths. Currently I have a COUNTIF which searches the call type column for certain call types ie BA is off peak but this only tells me how many off peak calls they have made, I need to make it tell me how many minutes of off peak calls there are.
IE this is an example

at the moment my formula would only count this as 4 but I need it to calculate it as 7. This is a very big data set containing around 900 entries per sheet.
I have a macro that loops through a column of text and removes all text after a hyphen. Example: AU9929-PK becomes AU9929. I need to set up some exceptions that when it processes certain text it does not truncate it. Example: AU9929-ASST stays as AU9929-ASST. So far there are twelve exceptions but this could increase.
Note: The list which includes shop number, description, sku, sku description, quantity, unit price and more is sorted in a particular order as other operations are performed on it that requires it be in a specific order.
Below I have a table with dates. The actual dates will be added in over time. I want to display the amount of days in the column btwn planned and actual but since it is subtracting a date from a blank cell, the #VALUE function is displayed.

I am trying to let the user call my subroutine in the following 5 ways but am lost using string manipulation -
Call FindReplaceAll(C, 123, 1.23) In Col C replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(2, 123, 1.23) In Row 2 replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(C:E, 123, 1.23) In Col C-E replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(2:4, 123, 1.23) In Rows 2-4 replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(C9:E19, 123, 1.23) In region C9-E9 replace 123 with 1.23
Here is what I am trying to do in psudo
Sub FindReplaceAll(sType As String, sFind As String, sReplace As String)
If sType does not have a colon in it then
If sType = A-IV or sType = a-iv only then
Columns(sType &:& sType).Select
If sType = 1-65000 then
Rows(sType &:& sType).Select
Else
I have a file with a physician name and title in the cell as follows:
"James A. Jones, M.D."
I need a formula to reverse the last name, drop the title "M.D.", get rid of any additional periods after the middle initial and put it in upper case:
"JONES, JAMES A"
There are some names without middle initials also so this may present an additional problem.
I have test.txt file. The data in test.txt file so messy (there are headers and some data lines start with letter "A" and need to ignore). There's no <TAB> in data file, all are single space and <enter>. I can do nothing about data files.
Task:
Open test.txt file
SUM all product quantity, put result in xls file in A1
SUM all Total price in the txt file, put in xls file (same file) in B1
Close test.txt file
1st - Need a macro to change a range of cells colours based on a single cell having a value greater than 0.001. ie. cells A1 - G1 need to change to grey based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001 entered in it?
2nd - Also a macro for deleting the text contents of cell C1 based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001. Therefor if cell F1 has a number greater than 0.001 it changes the colour of celss A1 - G1 and also deletes the text in cell C1?
Example:............
Where all question 1 fields are put into a row, 2 in another row, etc (this may be more than 2 sets of questions), grouped by the name field. I have had a look at Pivot tables but they dont seem to do what Im after.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a sizable spreadsheet, which has one column where the cells are mostly numeric strings of up to 6 numbers - there are variations, which I will mention.
What I need to do, is to treat the numbers as individual figures, and add them, then divide by the number of figures. e.g. cell value '123456' I need to process as (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6.
The variations are that '0' has to be added as 10, and any letters need to be added as 12. '-' and '/' which are the only non-alphanumeric values should be ignored.
