SORTING BY COLOUR

Nov 2, 2004

Some silly twits in my organisation think they are being helpful by highlighting lines of excel and then expecting me to sort on it - how do I do this without going through every line - is there a way of returning the format value of the cell including the colour / background colour ?

Some random emoticons for you to look at while you consider...

Excel 2010 :: Sorting Or Counting Based On Text Colour

Sep 10, 2013

I have a database of names in one column in excel 2010 and over time I have coloured the text of some of the names green to show that they have been added to a new online database. I want to be able to count how many of the names have been coloured so I can see if it matches with the total number already added on to the online database. I have over 800 entries so I don't want to have to manually count them unless I find I have missed any. Conditional Formatting is greyed out (it is a Shared document so that might be why).

in creating an IF (text is a certain colour) THEN 1, 0 or any others ways I can find the total in that colour. I only have two text colours in my spread sheet, black and light green.

Colour 7 Cells In A Row And Then Switch Colour?

Jul 17, 2014

So I have a macro that colors the selected cells in a certain color. Now im looking for a code that will switch that color every 7th cell, the cells will only be selected horizontally. For example:

if the selected range is 10 cells, 7 of them should be in one color and 3 of the should be in another. But if the selected range is 15 cells the first 7 should have one color and the next 7 should have another and then the last one should have the first color again, and so on..

Colour Rows With More Than One Colour

Nov 24, 2011

I'm creating a worksheet which tracks pupils progress in our school. down the left there is a column to put in the level they came into our school on - eg 1C or 3B etc.. to the right of the level is a colour coded row which shows Pink, Yellow and Green - if the pupil makes it into the green part of their level by the time they leave then they are on target.

Basically I have a column of cells which use a data validation list which is linked to another sheet with a list of levels. What I want to happen is when I select the level - it fills the row to the right with the correct colours.. I've attached a picture to show you what i'm trying to do.

Reason being is - we might have 6 kids on L3, and 1 on L1 so the number of rows needed for each level changes - at the moment I'm having to copy and paste - which although is easy enough, it is a bit tedious when you have a whole bunch of pupils to put on the grid.

I can't find the option in imageshack to use a thumbnail

Cells Colour Equal To Another Cells Colour

Jul 19, 2012

I want a cell to be equal to another cell including the colour, conditional formatting as the colour will have no relevance to the cell value i.e. the colour will be set manually dependant on what stage of the lifecycle it is at

The original cell may have a date and be yellow and I want the target cell to be yellow with the same date, if someone then changes the original cell to be red the target cell should automatically change to Red

Is there an easy way to do this or do I need some VB script?

Colour Code

Aug 10, 2009

I have created a Sales Data spreadsheet which is updated by 10 members of our sales team. We also have a master sheet which gets updated the moment the individual sheets are updated by the sales team.

I want to know how I can differentiate the new entries with the old ones. Is there a code I can insert in the Master File which would change the colour of the new entries, say for example, all the rows with the date field “August” should automatically be changed to yellow. Similarly all “September” entries should automatically be coloured Red.

Bar Chart Colour

Oct 1, 2009

I have a problem relating to a bar chart that I just can't get around. I have Excel 2003. My problem is this. I have created an attendance record sheet for members of a club. The sheet records attendances for two separate events which occur a week apart every month. The names of the members are shown vertically in one column. Multiple parallel columns then follow in which members' attendances are recorded. At the top of the sheet, at the head of each attendance column, are two headings, one on top of the other. The first of these is the date, and the second is the attendance rate shown as a percentage. I can generate a bar chart alright from these two headings. My problem is that I want some way of showing the two different events every month as two different colours, event one in red and event two in blue, so that they will stand out. So far the chart will only let me show everything in one colour.

Cells Need To Change Colour

Oct 23, 2008

I have developed a profit loss sheet for the office I work for. What i need is to have either cells change colour or the numbers in the cell change colour depening on the value in the cell.

What I was thinking is if the number is over 15% of the sale price the cell or number should be green, if the number is under 15% it should be black, and if its below 0% it will be red.
