I need to add a Macro/VBA script to a spreadsheet i'm working on which will shade all cells, within a workbook, if the cell contains a formula (eg: =sum(A1:A5))
I can't get it to work under conditional formatting, nor with my limited knowledge of VBA.
Any time that any data is entered into one of the cells within my spreadsheet I would like the cell in which data is entered (and only the cell in which data is entered) to automatically become shaded (gray, preferably). I know conditional formatting should be used, but beyond that, I have no clue what to do. I would also prefer not to have to enter in conditional formatting formulas into all 105 cells, but I will do it if necessary.
Just in case, here's a little more information on what I am doing: I will be sending this spreadsheet out to about 10 others, and when they enter their name on a particular day at a particular time, I want that cell to become shaded. Other people might also enter their names at that day and time as well, so I would want the cell to stay shaded if that happens. Macros are not an option, because of security reasons.
I am trying to create an event that would shade certain cells if a cell is active.
For example if the active cell is cell J39, shade the following rows as follows:
I'm trying to come up with vba code that will gray out a set of cells when a certain value is enter in another cell.

I would like the cells to change colour, when I put P in them I want them to change to blue, when I put BH in them I want them to change to green, S I want to change to red and so on.
I have one cell (B10) that will contain either "high", "medium", or "low". Based on one of these 3 values, I'd like to shade cell J15 a color with some white text. I got 1 of the 3 keywords working, not sure how to add in the other 2.

I need to differentiate between 4 different "types" of cells to sum.
Cells with figures in them are either green, red or have no fill; and some cells contain no figures at all.
At the bottom of the column, I need to total up all the figures in red cells, as well as all the figures in green cells.
The shading of these cells is not permanent - colours are changed as work progresses, so I need the totals to keep up with this.
If it cannot be done based on cell fill colour, is there any other way to do it, other than the usual long-winded way of @sum(..... etc
I have a gantt chart that was built in excel. I need to shade cells in the timeline based on persons title under each project.
I can provide a snip of what the layout looks like for a better visual. I want the PM's Green, Supers Yellow and Persons Reporting Orange.
To get the green bar shown is using formula: =SEARCH("Project Management",$E17) , The issue with this is it fails to consider the start finish dates. For this particular project it works but when the formatting is "dragged down" the issue arises.
I have a spreadsheet where I want to be able to Fill cells green in Column B to Column N for any Rows that have a value in Column L. All other Rows should remain the current colour (orange).
I can Fill the cells in Column L using conditional formatting but am not sure if I can use Conditional Formatting on other Columns so that their Fill colour is determined by the value in Column L?
I have a spreadsheet that will monitor payment schedules, in which both payment frequency and the payment start date are inputted by the user.
As such, to make filling out the column(s) fool-proof, I want to grey out cells in which data should not be entered.
For example, if the payment frequency is every 6th day, and the payments are to begin on day 0, then days 0, 6, 12 (etc) should be left white, whereas the remainder of the cells should be shaded.
I can achieve this using multiple conditional formatting rules in excel2007 with iterations of formulae of the type:
I'd like to shade a range of cells based on a particular cells value.
Specifically:
If cell E3 is JUNE then I'd like the range of cells from B10 thru I10 to be shaded.
If E3 is JULY then it would shade C10 thru I10....etc.

Is it possible to use a formula to shade a cell dependent on a condition? I have tried an if formula (see below) but it is incorrect. =if('November 2006 SVOC'!B6>'March 2006 SVOC'!C6,'November 2006 SVOC'!B6 [red],if('November 2006 SVOC'!B6<'March 2006 SVOC'!C6,'November 2006 SVOC'!B6 [blue],))

What I wish for the sheet to do is shade the cell depending on the following criteria: If the date in Cell B7 is 2years and 10 months Before the System date to shade it Green, If the Date is Between 2 years 10 month and 3 Years before the System date shade yellow and if it is 3years and over shade Red.
For example if the date in B7 is 11-12-08 and the system date is 13-01-09 then the cell will be shaded Green.

I have put together a duration schedule for work and have it set up now so the days with automatically fill if they are on or between the start/end date. Below is the formula that I have constructed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to VBA and I am having some trouble with a VBA routine that was used in some workbooks I was given and I am trying to reuse that code.
What I am attempting to do is to shade the rows (alternate colors) whose value in Column C is the same until that value changes.
Example:
Row 1, 2 & 3 all have the same value in Column C so these would shade color 15
Row 4 thru 10 have a different value in Column C so those would have no shade
Row 11 thu 13 have a different value in Column C so these would then be Shade 15
So here is what I have done:
I set the range for the routine to step thru, then I defined the row & column to start processing. I then compare the current row to the row above. If the values are different then I compared the colors of the rows, and set the active row to the opposite color.
This routine runs but the first cell in each grouping isn't being shaded but then the rest of the rows are shaded correctly.
I have searched the web and look thru my code several times but to no avail, I cannot seem to understand why this will not work.
Code:
Sub grid_coloring()
Dim rwIndex, colindex, colindex2, ncount, bcount As Integer 'set rwindex, colIndex as an output number for columns. bcount and ncount are for counting blanks and dupes
Dim theRng As Range
Dim FirstRow, FirstCol, LastRow, LastCol As Integer

I have a line chart that tracks daily inventory and daily distribution. The chart also has a static value of Max inventory and Min inventory levels. Is it possible to shade the area between the Min and Max levels on the chart a different color from the rest of the chart. For example the chart has a white background and I would like to shade the area betwen the min a max a light blue across the width of the chart.

Im writing a spreadsheet that will act as a hotel room booking diary. There will be 52 sheets (representing each week of the year) and each sheet will therefore represent one week
Each sheet will look at operate the same. Running horizontally will be the days of the week and running vertically will be each of the bedrooms. There are 22 bedrooms in total and each room will have 12 cells allotted to it for each day - lets call this a 'block' and presume that the first block runs from C10 to c21. The final of these cells C21 will have a validation and the user can select 'PAID' 'TO PAY' or 'INVOICED'
If the user selects 'PAID' in C21 I want cells C10 through to C21 to shade GREEN
If the user selects 'TO PAY' in C21 I want cells C10 through to C21 to shade RED
If the user selects 'INVOICE' in C21 I want cells C10 through to C21 to shade YELLOW
I have a a worksheet with a drop down menu in one column to show various completion status options (Not started, In progress and Completed). I was able to use conditional formatting to change the color of the cell to gray when I choose "completed" from the drop down menu, but I would like the whole row in view (about 8 cells across) to shade to gray when I choose "completed" from the drop down - not just the completed cell. I'm thinking an IF statement would work, but I don't know how to use an IF statement to shade a range of cells a color.
