Use Function/Formula To Color Interior Of Cell
Apr 20, 2006
I am not looking into a VBA solution for this one and want to keep it simple. I want to enter a basic IF function/formula to make the color of a cell yellow if the condition is true.
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.

In Sheet1 cells A1-BW46 (3450 cells), using 9 different colors to fill all the cells.
In Sheet3, starting in A2, I have a plain text list of 3450 cell ranges "A1", "A2", "A3" etc covering all 3450 cells in Sheet1.
I want to populate next to this list the interior color value of the corresponding cell. So in cell A2, I will have the text "A1", in cell B2 I would have either a numerical or text value giving me the color that A1 in sheet1 is filled with.
The script doesn't have to auto update, I will run manually when neededI don't need any manipulation, only the value of the color, and that can be hex, rgb.
I can't upload the actual sheet I'm working with, but if my description of the problem is lacking, I may be able to create a sample sheet to give the idea.

I have some cells that change colors based on output.
The paste and paste special functions don't always copy the correct color of the cell.

I have a B2:M13 range. I would like to find a way to find the next cell with Interior.ColorIndex = 1.
For example, if position is currently B2 (so myrange(1, 1)) and the next black colored cell is on B6 (so myrange(5, 1)), I would like store 5 and 1 into variables.
So if no black background is found after current cell on the same row, look for next black background on next row.
If current cell is in row-M (the last one ** the range), for example, and there's no black background following on this row, find first black background in row-B.

I have 2 different worksheets...each of them containing item numbers. On Sheet1, Column A contains the item numbers. I have conditional formatting to change the interior color of column A based on several criteria.
On Sheet2, I also have item numbers, but they are located in Column B. If item 12345 in Column A on Sheet1 has an interior color of yellow, I would like that same item on Sheet2 to have an interior color of yellow.

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 have an error message that says: Run time error '1004': Unable to set the colorIndex property of the interior class. I attached code for your reference.
If (Range("B10").Value = "Gift" Or Range("B10").Value = "Entertainment") And Range("C10").Value = "" Then
Range("C10").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
MsgBox "Please Fill in the Person's Name & Company."
Range("C10").Select
Range("C10").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If

I would like to have cells that conditionally format the font color in the cell based on the background color of the cell. Essentially I have a matrix with some cells highlighted in red, yellow, or orange. There are values in each cell of the matrix. If a value is 0 I want the font to be grey. If the value is NOT 0 AND the cell backgorund color is NOT white, I would like it black and bold. Is there any way to do this in excel or using VB?

I was viewing the Do While Loop
Sub DoWhileLoop()
Dim iCount As Long
iCount = 2 'Set to two so heading is missed
Do While Cells(iCount, 5).Interior.ColorIndex <> xlColorIndexNone
Cells(iCount, 5).Value = Cells(iCount, 5).Interior.ColorIndex
iCount = 1 + iCount 'increment by 1 each loop
Loop
End Sub
I get what the loop is doing but I am not sure what the Interior is referring to. When I looked it up I saw it can be a property or an object but I am not sure exactly what it means, why you need it and in what other cases you may use it? I am so confused about this I don't even know what to ask?
If I had to guess I think it means the the property of the individual cells but in that case I don't see where the object comes in?

I am using Office 2007 and have successfully used the Cells.Interior.Color to change cells fill color. I would like to be able to undo these changes. Depending on the data entered I am changing the color but I may need to change it back to white. When I use the Cells.Interior.Color = vbWhite the cell fill changes to white but the cell border is gone. Is there a way undo the color change and have the cell border show up?

I have some code that recently I found I had a new criteria that I originally did not have when I worked my original database. THis code works perfectly as is BUT if in column "D" if this is blank I would like to do nothing/ make no changes in that row.
Sub ChangeColorsotherdesigXXX()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("D2", Range("D65536").End(xlUp))
With Range("a" & c.Row & ":s" & c.Row)
If Not CStr(c.Value) Like "612#" And Not CStr(c.Value) Like "712#" Then
.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
.Font.ColorIndex = 1
End If
End With
Next
End Sub

I need to have 3 arrays for a column of data, the first holding each cell value, the second the Row number and the third, the Interior.Color.
Currently I am having to assign each row and interior colour to a variable with a | between each then use the split function on that variable to assign it to an array (no problem with each cell value as that can be assigned directly to an array.
Code:
For Each rC In Range("a2", Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).SpecialCells(12)
If sO = Empty Then
sO = rC.Interior.Color
Else: sO = sO & "|" & rC.Interior.Color
End If
If sR = Empty Then
sR = rC.Row
Else: sR = sR & "|" & rC.Row
End If
Next
c = Split(sR, "|")
v = Split(sO, "|")
x = Range("a2", Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).SpecialCells(12).Value
As there are over 10,000 rows involved loading the variables is taking a considerable amount ot time, whereas the direct loading of the value is very fast. So I want to be able to load all arrays directly.
I have tried various methods to get Row and Interior.Color to load directly into arrays c and v but without success so far.

I would like to be able to change the color of a cell in V4:AB31 and have the formula in AM10:AM13 automatically calculate the new result. As it is now the user has to press Ctrl ALT f9 for the formula to recalculate.

how to use an IF statement if the cell color is a certain color? Using conditional formatting, cell A1 is either blank, light yellow, or red. Now, if A1 is light yellow, I want the value in A1=3, if not then the value =5. The formula would look something like:
IF (A1 = light yellow, 3, 5)

A brief rundown on what I am trying to create. My family and I have a NFL football game we do every year to see who can correctly guess the most winners over the course of the season and then the ultimate winner receives a prize at the end of the season. After years of doing this manually, I decided to try and put my Excel skills to use and create a more "automated" worksheet.
After some heavy research, I was able to successfully create a user defined VBA which would calculate a "win" every time a cell is highlighted (in my case the winning team's name). For example, I highlight New England Patriots and when the formula calculates each person receives 1 in their win column.
However, I have now reached a problem I failed to think of. The formula does not take into consideration the picks everyone is going to make. Not everyone is going to select the winning team, so the current formula I have is giving credit for every highlight. Is there a way to add an if statement to this? For example, if person A selected New England Patriots and it's highlighted then give 1, if not give 0?
I know it's usually hard to base a formula off a cell color.
For some reason, I cannot attach the spreadsheet I am currently using. For a brief overview, cell M1 contains the color which I would use to highlight the cells in the range A2:H17. This formula is in cells B21 - B27.
The VBA which I input was:
Function CountCcolor(range_data As range, criteria As range) As Long Dim datax As range Dim xcolor As Longxcolor = criteria.Interior.ColorIndexFor Each datax In range_data If datax.Interior.ColorIndex = xcolor Then CountCcolor = CountCcolor + 1 End IfNext dataxEnd Function
Where the picks which are made should be logged. Whether each person gets a separate color and the VBA is based on that, or like I alluded to above if there is an X here and it's highlighted or something.

I'm trying to write a routine that will display the Red, Green and Blue RGB properties of a cell's interior colour.
I found the following function:
Code:
Function SingleColorFromRGB(colorWanted As String, RGBValue As Long) As Long
Dim rColor As Long, gColor As Long, bColor As Long
If RGBValue < 0 Then GoTo ReturnError
rColor = RGBValue Mod 256
RGBValue = Int(RGBValue / 256)
gColor = RGBValue Mod 256
[Code]...
How I should call this function in a worksheet, or failing that, come up with something better e.g. a message box that will display the numeric values of each RGB property for the selected cell, or a single cell worksheet name?

I'm trying to create a simple VBA function in Excel so that I can sort and calculate results based on various conditions. I can get everything to work except changing the color of the cell where the output is placed. Here is what I have so far:
Function nameOfMyFunction(arguments)
If conditions Then
nameOfMyFunction = "No GRP"
ActiveCell.Font.Color = RGB(255,0,0)
End If
I'm sure that its something simple, but I've spent long enough on my own trying to figure it out and nothing seems to work.

How would you write a custom function that you could plug in a cell that would do the following.
If the value in the cell is greater than 0, traverse up that column to clear the values until it reaches the cell in that column that has been colored orange.

I 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..
