I'm new to VBA. I'm trying to write a macro that toggles between three or more font colors for the cells that are selected. I started with the "record macro" feature and then tinkered with the code because I obviously don't have a very good understanding of this process yet. How would I go about writing a code like this?
View 4 RepliesWe use a several Excel files to keep track of who has booked retail space with us. We have a main sheet that has every space within every shopping Mall we deal with. We then have different files for each Mall (this is so we can email the file to the shopping mall to show who is booked in each space but they don't see all the other shopping malls details). We have the other files set-up to read information from the main sheet so when we update a cell with the booked companies name it updates a cell on the relevant file.
This part all works fine, but we also change the booked companies colour depending on if they have they have paid, not paid or awaiting invoice. Currently we change this by hand on the main file then on the other files. I am hoping someone maybe able to explain a way of adding to the formula we already use to update the relevant cells automatically to enable the font (or cell if its easier) colour change to be carried across to the other files.
Conditional format for changing font colors using VBA
Its Working.
I have the following Case statement that changes all the cells to the correct color, but does not change the Font color as specified in the Case. All the text is White (fcolor = 2) instead of just the 3 types of cells specified.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a small issue with my toggle buttons.
I have approximately 20 sheets that all have 4 toggle buttons on them. Coded as below (with different ranges for each button). So when I wrote them I took the easy (for me anyway) way and copied all the code for all the buttons in each sheet. (Buttons are named Zoom1, Zoom2 etc.)
Private Sub Zoom1_Click()
If Zoom1.Value = True Then
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 143
Range("A1").Select
ActiveWindow.LargeScroll ToRight:=-10, Down:=-10
Else
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 75
ActiveWindow.LargeScroll ToRight:=-10, Down:=-10
End If
End Sub.........
My pallet lost color-coding - if I hover over each little scare it displays the names for the colors and if I click on them they color the cells with the right colors, but the palette itself lost the visual display of colors except for 8 colors: black, blue, red, magenta, yellow, cyan, and white.
I use color-coding of cells a lot and I find it difficult to work without visual clues. At least the hover-support allows me to get the work done, but with difficulty.
I have a userform with 54+ textboxes and and a checkbox. I would like to change the value of the checkbox from true to false using the keyboard when any of the textboxes have the focus. I can do this using a 'IF keycode' routine but I have to paste the code into each textbox. Is there a way of having the code in one place only, to prevent duplication?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a very large spreadsheet and i have got everything organized, but for easy viewing i want to have a toggle button that hides and un-hides certain sets of the columns (ie. Press down and it hides columns "B-F", "H-J", and "M-O".... then on depress it shows all the information again)
I have got some of the coding down, but am only able to get it to hide one set at a time, not all the sets. Can anyone help me out and let me know how i tell it to run multiple commands from the one press? here is the code i have already: ...
so what will happen is that the number of rows will continuously increase as the groups of data (Labeled Group #) increases. The data within each group will vary from time to time so some groups may contain only one line while others may contain multiple lines. I have included an attachment that illustrates what I'm trying to achieve. When data is entered in Column A under "Q," the adjacent empty cells in Columns B-F (labeled "R"-"V") will turn red. This is the part I have (i.e. Group 2).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to set up a spreadsheet whereby individuals answer questions and have to format their answer using a particular font, colour, font size and so on.

View 9 Replies View Related1) Numerous cells in columns A and B on a w/s have a combination of two fonts each.
For example, cell A1 shows # 15 on the Formula Bar. The # sign is in "Wingdings 3" Font and 15 is in "Arial".
Cell A1 correctly displays |15 (i.e.; up arrow,space,15).
2) Other cells on the w/s reference those cells.
For example, cell C1:: =IF($J$5="Vortex",A1,B1)
When the above condition is true: Is there a way to return | 15 (i.e.; up arrow,space,15) in C1 , exactly as displayed in A1 ??
I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple font colors in a single cell.
Such as:
ActiveCell.Value="Red & Blue"
Where the font for the word Red would be Red and Blue would be Blue.
if it is possible to concatenate multiple cells that have different font formats? For example; cell A1 is font formatted SYMBOL and contains the letter "D", cell B1 is font formatted ARIEL and contains the word "delta". What I am trying to do is concatenate the two cells while maintaining their font formats.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy input data for Pivot table has a column named "Month". The month values are like April 07, April 08, Nov07 in random order for period between Jan 07 to Aug 08.
When I create a pivot Table, this column is sorted alphabetically (April 07 is followed by April 08) but I need it to be sorted in the ascending order with respect to month (April 07 is followed by May 07).
I further use this data to plot a Pivot Chart. There is another issue here. I want to use separate colors for each series. I do not know how to achieve above 2 things.
I have a udf that returns a string to the cell. The string is made up of multiple string "objects". What I am wondering is if I can set the font color of certain objects so that when the final string is built and returned, the font of those portions is set.
Ex. of simple idea (this is not actually my code, just a way to illustrate. I realize there is no point to this UDF):
VB:
Function StringReturn (Str1 As String, Str2 As String, Str3 As String) As String
StringReturn = Str1 & Str2 & Str3
End Function
Now what if I wanted Str1 and Str3 to be blue, and Str2 to be red for example. So that when the UDF calculates it would return: Str1Str2Str3

Is there a way to keep the drop-box on a combobox from showing at all? I am trying to build one that has several different values that will just cycle through when clicked.
Here a bit of code I am using so far, just as an example:

Attempting to toggle autofilter (if on - then off, if off - then on). Found this here at Ozgrid, apologies lost the thread and author
Sub CheckForAutoFilters2()
With ActiveSheet
If .AutoFilterMode = True And .FilterMode = True Then
.AutoFilterMode = False And .FilterMode = False
Else
.AutoFilterMode = True And .FilterMode = True
End If
End With
End Sub
I added the Else... piece. The code does turn autofilter off - if on. But not on - if off. (Hard to read) ObjectiveAdd drop down arrows to header row if autofilter off. That's it all data to reamin visible until user (me) takes some action.Show all data, remove drop down arrows if autofilter onThanks
I'm looking for a way to have mutually exclusive toggle buttons (i.e. only one can be selected at a time) embedded in a worksheet. It is possible with radio buttons but they won't serve my needs.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to get a sound toggle button on excel?
What I need is a button to turn the sound alerts on and off on my spreadsheet. Ideally I'd like a button that either changed an image to the speaker image when on and the speaker image with line through it when off. Is that possible?
If not, is it possible to have a button that just says: "Sound:ON" or "Sound:OFF"?
I guess it could be done with tick boxes, or drop down options.
I have the code below for creating a stopwatch in excel. I was trying to see if there is a way to change this code to assign it to a toggle button so if you hit one part the stopwatch would start and then the other it would stop.

I wanted to know how do I keep a toggle button in the on(ture) position after I close the userform? How do I keep the toggle button off(false) positoin after I close the userform? In order words, once I run my macro again, I want it to remain in memory that my toggle button was in the on(true) or off(false)?
For example,I have an application that I am developing which involves some what-if analysis for some projects. There is a command button located on my worksheet. After the command button is clicked, I have include some toggle buttons on a userform for all of the various projects. If I assume that sine projects will not be used, I click the associated toggle buttons. This puts them in the on(true) position. After I close the userform and reclick the command button, my toggle buttons are all back in the off(false) position.
it's possible to use this macro code in a toggle to perform this action when it's true and when the toggle is click again it can undo it.
This macro does lookups and finds the max on sets of value when it is run and i was wondering if by clicking the button again it can undo what it placed in the cells.
I have a macro that cycles every 5 minutes. I have tried everything I can to get this program to run while I modify a sheet in the workbook to no avail. I have however figured out that if I open up a separate excel application that my macro can continuously run without preventing me from modifying the other application. Now I need to figure out a way toggle between the two excel application windows if a condition is met. The basis of this is to allow production associates to create a schedule and modify it while a macro looks into the defect database and if a defect becomes too problematic, the macro interrupts the schedule to display the issue.
