When printing though it prnts as it would normally ie a white backgorund. It looks like the viewing colours have been reversed and I can not find out how to revery back to normal.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to pick up the Excel application color scheme setting from code. What I want to do is set a VB.Net COM add-in form's skin based on the application color scheme so that my Add-In matches the users color settings blue/silver/black. Where is the application color scheme setting stored? I have searched the registry but with no luck and the Excel 2007 setting isn't picked up when I record a macro...

If B is higher than A, B should be red. Again if C is also higher than B, then C also should be red... like that. Values should be read row-wise. How can I do this using a formula?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an interesting dilemma. I have Microsoft Excel 2003 and in one workbook I have a choice of certain colors for autofill and for font colors. In another workbook I have a DIFFERENT pallete of colors to choose from. Both workbooks are in excel 2003. Is there a reason why one workbook has one set of colors and another does not? Also, is there a way to change the second workbook so I have the same set of fill in colors in both?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have printer mailboxes setup for all of the employees and sometimes the print settings get saved in the excel files. This means that when another employee uses the file their prints get sent to the wrong mailbox. We have hundreds of files like this and it causes all kinds of problems with prints going to wrong mailboxes!
Obviously their default print settings are all set to their own mailboxes.
Is there some way, using vba, to get an excel file to go back to using the user's default printer settings instead of the ones saved in it's file? (or get it to remove the printer settings saved in it's file). That way I could just make an application level open event to fix the problem! Either that or some way, in vba, of changing a user's storage box number for a specific printer.
Using Excel 2010 - I have a large workbook with multiple worksheets - been using it succesfully every day for a long time. All of a sudden every empty cell, and any cell not specifically formated in every worksheet has a default cell format of Time. Any new workbook created is OK.. defaults to 'General' - But, if I add a new blank worksheet to this particular workbook it defaults to 'Time' format. How did the default cell format for this workbook become set to 'Time' from 'General' and how do i fix it?

I have 4 combo boxes with selectable options and several cells for inputting data into. I'm looking to create a reset button that returns combo box values back to the first one in the list and clears all cells at the same time. I've figured out the cell reset as follows;
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a data base in which I classify cells in three colors (green, yellow, and red) on my own. I would like the first cell in each column to indicate if there is a red or yellow cell in it's column. Because red cells are more important then yellow cells, if there is a yellow and a red cell in the column, I would like the red to over ride the yellow and the first cell would indicate red.
So basically, if there is a red cell in the column, no matter what other colors there are, the first cell should show red. If there is only yellow or yellow and green cells, the first cell should show yellow. If there are only green cells or green cells and clear, the first cell should show clear.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Excel 2010, you can color a cell with a fill color and a font color.
It can be done manually via one of 3 methods that I know of (aside from a macro or a routine):
-From the ribbon button (underneath the font size and increase and decrease font size toolbar buttons)
-By formatting the cell (right clicking on a cell),
-Clicking on the ribbon's font section (giving you the same 6 category format cell box as right clicking on a cell)
What I need is a routine that resets the Fill Color and Font Color toolbar buttons to "No Fill" and "Automatic" if I run it inside a macro or create a command button on a worksheet.
How to read and set a cell backcolor in VBA ?
I've tried all sorts of things ( interior. colour, interior.colorIndex) but nothing gets the correct color.
I don't believe this is an excel 2007-specific question, but if it is & should be relocated to a different forum, move or ask me to move it.
I'm writing a personal macro in excel 2007 (win xp pro) that uses a userform to change the sheet name and tab color. The problem is that my option to change the tab color to "None" doesn't actually restore it to the standard light-blue background and blue type.
I am setting the fill color of a cell by setting the .Interior.Color property and using the RGB() VBA function. My VBA code saves the spreadsheet in Excel2003 format at the end of the creation process. This has worked great and my spreadsheets looked correct when reopened in Excel 2007. When these same spreadsheet files are opened in Excel 2003 the colors are all very different. Does Excel 2003 handle colors differently than Excel 2007? Is there a preferred way to specify colors that will work on both platforms?
I have attached a specific example. The color is #B4CF27 or RGB(180, 207, 39). When I open this sheet in Excel 2007 the color is a shade of green (the desired color). When I open it on Excel 2003 I get yellow. I tried swapping the red and blue values thinking there might be some byte ordering issue and it does not produce the yellow on Excel 2007.
Possible to set the BackColor of an ActiveX textbox to transparent? I have the BackStyle set to transparent, which is great since it will be transparent when not selected so you can see the color of the cell behind it, but once you select it to type in it, the BackColor overrides the cell behind it.
Right now, I have a sheet where the color of a cell changes to green if the textbox needs input from a user. If I have the BackColor set to white, the cell behind will change to green so the user knows they need to enter something in the textbox, but once they click the textbox, it goes white and may confuse them.
On the other hand, if I change the BackColor to green, it works great when the user clicks the correct textboxes, but if the user clicks the wrong textbox, it will 'incorrectly' turn green which may make the user believe they need to enter something in the textbox.
VBA code in worksheet won't revert a changed cells color back to 0(white) after removing the comment.
Observations: code does set the desired cell colors to Yellow after inserting a comment, however removing said comment, and re-activating the worksheet does NOT reset the color after deactivating/re-activating the worksheet.

I am doing a spread sheet for participation in a class. What I want is for whenever a student is absent, i.e. has a 0 in their point box for the day, that cell turns red. I have tried to make the .find method work but it has been uncooperative and so far and I can't seem to get it to even run. This is what I have so far:
HTML Code:
Private Sub For_Loop_Click()
Set v = .Find(0, LookIn:=xlValues)
For Each v In [B6:B46]
Do
If v.Value = 0 Then v.Interior.ColorIndext = 3
Set c = .FindNext(c)
End If
End With
End Sub
When I click a Command Button I want a label to change color FIRST and THEN a message box to appear.
I use the following code, but what happens is: FIRST, the message box appears and THEN the label changes color, which is the wrong order. The label needs to change color FIRST.
Private Sub cbA_Click()
newcolor = vbWhite
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects("label1").Object.BackColor = newcolor
MsgBox "done"
End Sub
When I open a new worksheet it is purple. The fill color bucket it defaulted to no fill. I select the entire worksheet and click on the 'no fill' and get a normal white background.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to change the default color of any excel sheet I use to grey from the standard white and I am struggling to find out how this is achieved.
In other words, I am trying to have all cells in the sheets I work with appear grey on my screen by default. A coworker of mine used to work in banking and she has grey cells but does not know how she changed them.
When I launch excel 2007, i have cells with a grey border. I'm not sure what the colorindex is of this border.
Through a macro, when I format cells, I use
Cells(x,y).BorderAround ColorIndex:=xlAutomatic
xlAutomatic points to BLACK by default. Could someone tell me how I could reference the actual default colorindex (the grey one which seems to border all other cells, while not being xlAutomatic)?
I'm trying to change the default colour palette for "fill colour" and "font colour". The way I've been doing it before, is to have a spreadsheet with the colour palette I want in my XLSTART folder, and then when I open a new document, going to tools->options->color->copy colors from, and selecting that spreadsheet.
However, this is a pain, and I was wondering if I can just set the colour palette to have my colour scheme already there, whenever I create a new spreadsheet.
I was just wondering if there was a way of changing the excel chart default so it doesn't always return a grey (or gray for those of you over the pond !) plot area every time I create a chart. It looks rank and wastes toner IMO.
