Is it possible to reference a cell's colour in a formula within a spreadsheet - without using VBA? i.e If Cell A1 has a fill colour of yellow, can I have a formula in cell A2 that says If Cell A1 fill colour = Yellow, result = 1 etc. I know this can be done in VBA, and I have done that, but just wondered if possible this way.
View 4 RepliesI am currently using this Formula to Search a table on sheet 2 (Tabelle2) and copy the date in the relevent cell (Cells) into the correct cell on Sheet 1 (Master Sheet).
[Code] ..........
Used in cells E10:AZ30 and E33:AZ46
This works perfectly and is the formula behind all relevent cells in Sheet 1.
I would like to keep this but to add that it also copies the background color of the cell in Sheet 2 to the cell in sheet 1.
If i can Bring this Formula into VBA and add the color changing part, It must only work on the cells listed above..
Is there formula to use if I want an IF statement to add a date "TODAY()" to a cell if a corresponding cell is highlighted? I would search for this in the archives if I had a clue what to search for. "Conditional formatting", maybe?

Here is where I am stuck/what I am putting inside the cell:
=If( 'Program Tracker'!E16="","",IF('Program Tracker'!E16>= DATE(2006,3,3),IF('Program Tracker'!E16<=(DATE(2006,3,9)),"YELLOW","")))
Where you see "YELLOW" is where I need to put something in so it makes the active/current cell color yellow.

My colleagues are working on multiple projects at once. The projects got different priority, so I'm looking for a formula that change the cell color if a person is working on it, depending on the project's priority.

I am trying to use VBA in Excel 2007 to change bar chart series colors. I have found a few posts that link it to a cell background, but I'm struggling to find one that does the font color.
It would be great if I could change the bar chart series to match the color of the text in the A column, so that if I highlighted the value in A1 and changed the text color to orange for whatever reason, the chart updates the value of 1.2 to an orange bar (see below).
T. A1 B1
Sample 1 1.2
Sample 2 2.1
Sample 3 1.7
Sample 4 5.6
I have a range of cells that change colors with conditional formats based on the cell value from high to low. I would like to link the cell color to an object such as a circle or rectangle. When the cell value changes along with the conditional format, the color of the object will also change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have got a userform with lots of controls,
One of the action's on a large group of the controls is the same but except for one number
here is an example
If TextBox107.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell. Offset(0, 53).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox108.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 54).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox109.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 55).Font.ColorIndex = 3
This makes a cell that correlates to the textbox red if the text in the textbox is red.
Now, I loads of these textboxes that all need to run the same code with just the Offset value one digit higher than the last and I was hoping I could create a loop to avoid a huge block of code but I can't work out how to make a constant that will +1 with each loop.
Also, can I assume that a loop will start with the control with the lowest number i.e. Textbox1 and then work its way through the rest of them in order?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is probably elementary, but I'm struggling and would appreciate any help as I have very little excel VBA experience to draw from.
I have assembled code which changes the cell color based on a value change in Column A. Column A will contain many different groups of repeating values. This code works well and and I have been able to figure out how to limit the number of colors to only 2. The end result is each set of similar values in column A is visually grouped by one of two alternating colors.
The number rows in the data set is variable as the data set is extracted from SAP. The number of columns is fixed.
What I want to do now is set the cell color in columns B through F the same color that was assigned to the row in column A. So if cell A3 is set to colorindex = 6, then I want to set the range of cells B3 to E3 to the same color.
Here is the code I am using to set the color of the cells in Column A:

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.

I am looking for a very simple script that will achieve the following:
On the clicking of a button, Select and shade in a cell yellow, delete the yellow shading of the previous cell. The shading & selection should move up a column of cells, 1 at a time, in the following order:
From B10 to B9, then B9 to B8, B8 to B7 etc until the selection and shading is at B2. Once it is at B2 subsequent clicks will simply keep it at B2 (the top). Thus after 8 clicks the shading & selection should travel from B10 to B2, with only 1 cell being shaded yellow and selected at any one time.

This formula will be use for a huge data base and only one column needs to be affected by it. Currently I had click the option to change color but it becomes a hassle and there is room for error. I wish to put the data in the column and not worry about the color.
I need to be able to enter text in a box, and from that box the formula looks at the text to see if it is in within strings of text in any other box in the entire spreadsheet. If the text is there, the box needs to turn green (or any color). If not, it stays the same. The catch is I need the formula to be in a separate box, and the Entered text will be in a blank cell, so the user (who is excel illiterate) will not be confused by the odd formula.
Example:
B1, B2, C2, D4, and D6 will have the items: XXX, YYY, ZZZ
B3 and B4 will have only: YYY
In the "search box" the user will enter XXX
B1, B2, C2, D4, and D6 turn green, while B3 and B4 stay as normal.
If they enter YYY in the search box, all of them turn green.
