How do i have colouring to a reference cell what i mean is that on certain formula i get BUY or Sell on that cell. As per the conditional formatting i have made the colour change BLUE FOR "BUY" & RED FOR "SELL"
On second sheet i link the above TEXT., but the COLOUR OF THE TEXT Does not come.
Does CONDITIONAL Formatting come with reference cell.
Is it possible to get the following to work.
If cell A2 has the number 5 in it (as a result of a calculation in that cell), is it possible to get the next five cells in that cell to colour themselves in?
Obviously, as and when the value in cell A2 changes, i need the number of cells coloured in to change as well.
In addition to this, the rows that this will happen in will vary week to week so i'm not sure if VBA is the way to do this.
Also would there be any problem with negative figures as when that happens i don't want any cells to colour in at all.
I've been trying to get a macro together which would colour all the tabs in my workbook based on whether or not a certain value exists in a certain cell. In this case the cell is C7 and the word there is "elective class:".
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a column for each month where the dates are entered on rows. Is it possible I can color a cell if the date entered in a cell for that month is 15 days past the end of the month. Like, if in a January column I enter a date on one of the rows as Feb.20, then the cell fills with red colour. I tried doing it using conditional formatting, but don't know how to say 15 days past end of the month?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs you can see from below I already have a spreadsheet which updates the fill colour of cells based on a certain criteria. This was initially set up in Excel 2003....I have now moved onto 2010 and want to use a certain colour based on it's RGB value. I tried as you can see from below, the part which is commented out (as it didn't work)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim n As Long, lngIndex As Long
For n = 6 To 842
[Code].....
I have a spreadsheet that contains data I import from various sources. Once the import is complete I need to colour various cells based on their contents. Normally I'd use conditional formatting, but there are more than 3 conditions so I need to use VBA (preferrably that i can turn into a macro and assign to a button to click once I've finished the imports each time)
eg: Everytime a cell content is the word "RED" , colour it red - then the same with various other colours.
Google has found me a change event piece of code but it doesnt work when you're cutting and pasting some info.
I have a rather large database that I'm trying to automate colours in, based on data that is inserted into Column 'D'. I've used the following code (with some success), but it colours columns that I don't want to colour:
VB:
Sub KeyCellsChanged()
Dim Cell As Object
For Each Cell In Range("D1:D5000")
[Code].....
That works fine - but the problem I have is that I only want to colour columns A:N, Q, T, V, AB:AE, etc. (random columns and not always together). I have already tried to replace parts (as follows), but get all sorts of errors (in particular Run-time error 1004):
VB:
If Cell = "Rabbit" Then
Cell.Range("A:N,Q, T, V, AB:AE").Interior.ColorIndex = 42
Is there someway that a line of code can determin which cells to colour in the row, or alternatively code that will colour the columns a specific colour and make them stay that colour when the first code above is used?
Just trying to work out the best way to be able to determine autoshape colours using cell values. For example I have 12 shapes that need to coloured either Red, Green or Orange depending on a specific cells value, 1 for Red, 2 for Green and 3 for Orange.
I have sort of managed to successfully complete this for 1 of the shapes, by using the RGB Fill option (Using 3 = Red, 4 = Green and 45 = Orange). But cannot for the life of me work out how to do this for multiple shapes using different cell triggers. Below is the code that I currently have and the spreadsheet that is linked to:
how I might be able to colour certain cells in a row a specific colour when a specific value is input.
For instance:
The value "A" is put into row A1. A1 and C1 cell colours change to green
The value "B" is put into row A2. A2 and C2 cell colours change to orange
etc. (not sure how many colours yet)
I sort of have a script set up, but there are certain things I dont know how to do. Like target the specific cells that need colouring.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 0 Then Exit Sub
Select Case Target.Value
Case "A"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 1
Case "B"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
Case "C"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case Else
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
End Select
End Sub
I have a gone through quite a few topics in this forum.....but couldnt find answer to my question....may be because its too basic. I have a worksheet with 10 columns. I am trying fill colour in the rows that have "text" in column J (in other words.....their column J is not blank). I figured out how to fill the colour in the cells in column J when they are empty, but cant figure out how to colour the entire row from A:J.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automatically shade a number of cells dependant on the value in a single cell. ie. If D2="quote" then I want A2:Q2 to be yellow. If D2="Design" then I want A2:Q2 to be green etc etc. I have about 6 options in all of what D2 could be.
I then want to repeat this for about 200 rows.
I am currently using a piece of code (within a bigger piece) that colours the dates in two columns based on how close it is to the current date. It works fine but sometimes the sheet it is looking in has over 3500 rows so it is taking for ever (well over 6 mins)
The code is
HTML Code:
Sub ColDate() 'date case opened
application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim MyRg As Range
Dim F As Range
Dim DateDiff As Long
Set MyRg = Range("g1:h" & Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
For Each F In MyRg

I currently have some code which reads a stock file, adding up the stock for each individual item (which may be in one or more locations in the warehouse) and then placing the total stock count in a cell with the detail (of how much stock is in each location, the location and the expiry date) and a separate line for each location, in a comment.
The comment is constructed one line at a time as the code finds the stock records, see code below:
With shtWorking.Range(strStartColumn & intRow + 2)
oldComment = .Comment.Text
.Comment.Delete
.AddComment oldComment & vbNewLine & strComment
.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
End With
All this works very nicely, but I want to colour individual lines depending on the expiry date. This can be done manually in Excel, but I cannot find a way of colouring individual lines of text in a comment using VBA.
So, does anyone know of a way I can colour individual lines of text in a comment, using VBA?
auto colouring cells containing formulas
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a teacher and would like to show progress in my pupils achievements by colouring coding cells in excel. For each subject they are given a level, e.g. 2b. If they show progress, they would move up, i.e. to a 2a. The whole progress scale is shown below:
wc,wb,wa,1c,1b,1a,2c,2b,2a,3c,3b,3a,4c,4b,4a,5c,5b,5a,6c,6b,6a,7c,7b,7a
To make the spread sheet visual i would like colour code the cells depending on whether progress has or has not been made. If they go up (e.g. 2b to 2a) i would like the cell to turn green, if they go down (e.g. 2c to 1a) i would like the cell to turn red. If not progress has been made then the cell can stay uncoloured. Each cells colour would only be dependent on the cell directly to the left.
How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D
1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date
2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan
3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3)
4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I have "borrowed" the below code from a previous solved post, however am unsure how to adapt it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code:
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB
ABC
CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
=COUNTA(AAB!A:A)
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
=COUNTA(CDE!A:A)
I've learned that simply substituting the cell references A1, A2, A3 for AAB, ABC and CDE doesn't work. What do I need to do to achieve this?
I am trying to get a row of cells to highlight a percentage based on a date range
Below is an example of what my spreadsheet will look like, very simple for managers to read and understand but I am stuck on how i can get this to display the right way.
In the example i would need the Jan column to colour for a certain percent for 21 days and continue to feb for 26 days. Im not sure if this makes sense but this is what they are asking for. Colour bars to simple show the percent of days off each month.

Let's say I've ended up with the number 8 in Cell D4 for example. Is there a formula that can return the letter "G" (The 8th Column) so I can use it in future cell references ? If so, let's say we store that in Cell B5. How do I now refer to a cell in a chosen Row of that same Column by reference to Cell B5 ? For example if I want to refer to Cell G33 can you refer to this Cell in some form like Cell(Contents of Cell B5;33) ??? Don't want to use R1C1 type references if possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 problems relating to LOOKUP.
Not sure if Excel can perform these calculations as they could get to complex.
Problem 1
Can it be possible to have excel look at data from one cell reference another cell then display the results from the cell next to it in another cell, sort of example:
Tab 1 (Never changes)
AB
Bob1
Jon2
Fred3
Tab 2 (Dynamic, changes each week)
AB
Jon
Fred
Bob
So it would work as follows.
Tab2 column B will take Tab2 column A’s data check Tab1 column A and display Tab1 column B’s result.
Problem 2
Weekly league rank table that shows position movements week by week
Example.
Week1
1Jon
2Bob
3Fred
Week2
1FredUp 2
2BobNot Moved
3JonDown 2
Can Excel calculate/show the actual movements of league positions?
I have a formula (AL15) to determine the address of the last column with a value greater than 1. =COUNTIF(C16:AC16,">=1")+2.
