I have 2 sheets, A & B. When I type something into sheet A, it goes to Sheet B, but if I change the cell color on Sheet A, I would like that to automatically color the same thing in Sheet B. How can I do this?
I have a userform which stores the backcolour value of some labels in a spreadsheet so that it can be recalled dependent on what month a user selects. The trouble is that in a spreadsheet, I want to use these backcolor values to colour the interior of a cell. However, the values don't seem to be liked by VBA and I get a 'subscript out of range' when I try to match:
Range("SPPCScore").Interior.ColorIndex =
This error comes up against values 65535 and -2147483633
What am I doing wrong? what would be the best way to store a backcolor value in one cell so that it can be used for a cell interior colour?
I am writing a program in excel spreadsheet and I was wondering how to fill an input cell with color automatically in excel 2007.
I mean that, say I am writing an addition program, I am giving an input numbers in B1 and B2 and i am writing formula in B3 (=B1+B2). I want excel to fill B1 and B2 with yellow/any color automatlically. Only the cells with number input should be highlighted.
I currently use spreadsheets to report on backup processes.
I am trying to speed up this process and one thing that woudl help me is a function that will automatically fill the row with a colour depending on the choice in the dropdown box, so if you choose 'successful' from the dropdown list the row colour would fill to green and if you select 'failed', the row would change to red and a choice of 'completed/errors' would result in orange.
This process is currently done manually and often results in errors like a succesful result with a red filling.
Is there anyway to automate this process? i was trying to whip up a macro, but have been unsuccessful so far.
I would like to automatically color the fill of a cell based on the cell contents.
For example, if the cell content is "1" I would like the color of the cell to be cyan and if the cell content is "2" I would like the color the cell to be red.
I've tinkered with several different formulas but I just can't get anything to work.'
I occasionally give presentations with Excel and would like to make it easier for the audience to see a particular cell when I move to it. The cursor can be tiny, and some people have a hard time seeing the cursor, so I use the keyboard to navigate to the cells I talk about. Yet, the cell, which then has a border around it, still can be hard to see.
Is there a way in Excel to have a cell that is highlighted, that is I move to a cell with the keyboard, so that it pops out in a different font color or background or format, when I move to it, and it automatically reverts to its usual format and color when I move away from it?
I am trying to simplify a spreadsheet. I have a column with dates from last year and I was wondering if there is a formula that would automatically change the color of the cell once the date is over one year to the day to show that the date in the cell has expired?
I'm looking for a way to make a cell copy the fill color from an adjacent cell.
in my case, cell A1 is a dropdown menu cell, where each option has a different fill color (through conditional formatting). what i want is to make cell B1 copy the fill color from cell A1 automatically. it may be important the both cells have dropdown menus.
I have a workbook that contains a sheet where I record income and a sheet where I record expenses. My goal is is to have the infomation that I record on these sheets automatically be filled in on the next available row on the Bank Account sheet.
I have an example workbook attached. It is color coded with an explanation at the top of the Income sheet.
In my Excel 2003 worksheet, I need the row color to automatically change to blue (color 5) (bgcolor = #0000FF) - when the user changes the text from VALID to INVALID in the range: B3:B65000.
For example:
Cell B5 contains the text: VALID
When the user changes the text in the field to read: INVALID - then I need the row range: A5:W5 to change to the color blue.
but on my sheet the cells wont automatically update with the colors unless I double click the cell then click enter - it then refreshes and inserts the color.
I am trying to use the worksheet calculate event to automatically change the color of a cell only when that particular cell changes. In E2 of the worksheet is a formula use to determine rating based on the result of 2 other cells. The rating is classified as follows
Low Moderate High Maximum
I would like to generate a different set of color to the cell and fonts for each of the rating. For example,
"Cyan" to the cell E1 and E2 with Black font if the result is "Low" "Plum" to the cell E1 and E2 with "Black font if the result is "Moderate" "Blue" to the cell E1 and E2 with "White" font if the result is "High" and "Red" to the cell E1 and E2 with "White" font if the result is "Maximum"
I'm trying to figure out how to create a database on Sheet 2 by filling in the info in a template created on Sheet 1. I have seen it done with the addition of a button within the Excel sheet itself, and you simply click it to send your information to the database page. I am thinking it is along the lines of OLAP or recording macros
I'm looking to build a macro which will automatically transfer a line of text from one worksheet to another within the same workbook. Once the macro has been run, the text in the original sheet should disappear and re-appear in the other worksheet. It should appear in the same column, but different line from the original.
i need a little help. I have a workbook with 2 sheets. I need rows to transfer to the first sheet automatcily if the record dose not already exsist on the first sheet based on if a vaule in a certin cell is below a certin number.
I work for an insulation company and we have all of our jobs, completed and in progress, on a master worksheet.
Currently there are 437 rows of data (but will increase), and columns A to N with various bits of data.
Row A is a location field - there are 5 locations currently.
I would like to be able to add a new line at the bottom of the master sheet, and then this automatically identifies the location from column A and which worksheet is it to be copied to and then copies the data from that new row to the bottom of the relevant location sheet.
I would also like to be able to update the data in the existing entries (e.g. when a job has been assessed initially, and then completed, I need to put the dates in) and for this to update on the relevant worksheet.
Each worksheet has the same format (columns A to N have the same headings in row 1, then data to begin in row 2).
I wouldn't say I'm an advanced Excel user (otherwise I wouldn't be asking this question), but I do have a fairly good working knowledge of it. Currently using Excel 2010. Would ideally like to be able to do it without VBA as it needs to be uploaded to Google Docs and for others in the company to access online.
I am trying to automatically transfer data from nonadjacent cells (C1, B5,B10,B16,B22,B28) from multiple workbooks in a masterworkbook folder from A2:F2. I am a novice at VBA. I am not able to copy as Range("C1,B5,B10,B16,B22,B28") and the way it currently is coded only the last copied range (B28) is pasted to the master workbook. The data pastes to A2 in the master workbook instead of F2 where I want it. I need copying the cells from the workbooks into row 2 in the master bookbook. Here is what I currently have:
Sub LoopThroughDirectory() Dim MyFile As String Dim erow MyFile = Dir("C:ToolFolderWorkObjectives")
I have a protected worksheet. Users wish to be able to track changes in the input cells. The suggested approach for this is to temporarily disable sheet protection and allow them to change the font color, then protect afterwards. What I would like to do is:
i) check whether they are in an input cell ii) if so, then prompt the user with the 'Font Color' dialog box iii) apply the font color selected to the input cell
I'm struggling to find the dialog box I need. I can launch the one to change the interior color, no problem (Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPatterns).Show). But that's no use to me, I just want a color palette that specifically relates to the Font Color
I would like to take the data from worksheet1 and put into worksheet2 but limit the length of a list (the real spread sheet has over 100 rows and i would like them in 4 sets of 25 versus the example I provided). Is there an array or macro that would make this work (keeping the formatting)..
I have this scenario which i need to automate it. I have 5 colums P1,P2,P3,P4,P5. It contains W or L combinations.
In my Column F i Concatenate(A2,B2,C2,D2) together and it follows on for the rest.
Now i have some criteria which i am going to search in my Column G. In Cell I1 i will list my combination to search. It can be as follows :
WWWW LLLL WWW LLL
So what i need to do is search my F column for this possible match. If it is a match I need to color the my Player 1 to Player 5 for that match. I have shown in my example inside the excel. I know the formula for how to find for matches using my combination. But i got no idea on how i can color it with the respective colors automatically.
Yellow = all four W Red= all four L Green= will have 3 W and one L Blue = have three L and one W
Function SumIfPurple(inputRange As Range, _ answerRange1 As Range, _ answerRange2 As Range) As Variant Dim SumAnswer As Variant
'If inputRange is turned purple then it is equal to anserRange1, if it is left with no fill it is equal to answerrange2.
If inputRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 39 Then SumAnswer = answerRange1.Value Else SumAnswer = answerRange2.Value End If SumIfPurple = SumAnswer End Function
I would like to have a sub that will have the formula automatically calculate when the inputRange's color is changed.
I have been given a spreadsheet that turns whole rows different colours when certain data is entered into a cell. I want to locate the code and use it elsewhere, but cant find it?
I have looked at all of the change related procedures in the drop downs, for the Workbook e.g.
Workbook_SheetChange
but no matter where I cant seem to find any code at all.
Is there a way of exporting every line of code and then open this file in notepad to skim through it?
how I might find the code that is making the rows turn different colours?

how to do basic formulas in Excel but I are hoping that there is a macro or a VBA or something that can be made which might work for what i need.
I have decided to start a small tour shop (I make the reservations for guests with a hotel in the area and take them on tours of our region) and are looking to make a booking sheet for each month. Nothing complicated just simple. see the attached .xlsx file.
I was wondering if there is a way that when the fields in column A & B are filled in if it could automatically color the corresponding dates in for the same row in the calendar area? like I have manually done on sheet "October 2013"
