Using Conditional Formatting To Hide Text

Jan 14, 2010

I have an IF statement which sometimes returns the word "FALSE" and a SUMIF statement which sometimes returns the error #DIV/0!

I need to be able to hide the text in the cells when either value is returned.

I've managed to solve one of them (#DIV/0!) by using conditional formatting and using the formula =ISERROR(H35) then changing the text colour to white.
I can't think of a soution for the "FALSE"

Conditional Formatting To Hide A Row

May 15, 2007

In Excel 2003, I'm trying to auto-hide rows when the value in any cell of a certain column is "Closed" This can't be done via conditional formatting. Any other ideas (VBA code)?

I found below code excerpt but it did not work for me. Maybe it's not specifying what cells it should look in... or I'm not doing something correctly.


Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Value = "Closed" Then
Rows(Target.Row).RowHeight = 0
Else
End If

End Sub

Trigger For Conditional Formatting To Hide Rows

Oct 21, 2006

I found in this forum some vba code to insert into an excel spreadsheet a routine to hide rows if a value is < 1 in a column (Column B for this example). My problem is that it executes as you go down each cell in column B. I want to press a function key at the end of working on the spreadsheet to have it go line by line to hide rows that meet the condition. The code is as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
' Dim R As Range
' Set R = Application.Intersect (Target, Range("B7:B7"))
' If R Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With ActiveSheet
For Each Cell In Range("B5:B6")
If Cell.Value < 1 Then
Cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hide & Show Rows Based On Multiple Conditional Formatting

Aug 6, 2009

I am trying to hide/show entire rows of a range based on the conditional formatting in the row. I want all rows with at least one overdue training cell (indicated by a red cell) displayed, and rows with no overdue training hidden. The conditional formatting formulas vary greatly, but always result in a white (unchanged), yellow, or red cell. Here is a sample picture for reference:

[url]

The CF formulas vary based mostly on two major factors: the frequency of the requirement found in Column "C" (Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual, or Annual Requirement), and the personnel's arrival on site or date of departure (wheels up) found in Rows("3:4"). Each training class has two rows. The first row indicates the last time the class was completed, and the second row shows when it is due next. Both rows have to be displayed/hidden based on the second row's conditional formatting. Here is the code I am using right now: ...

Conditional Formatting Of Text?

Oct 26, 2011

Basically, I have a Rule that says:

=$A1="Mitigated"

I want the same format if Column A says either "Mitigated" or "Accepted".

I can't create a new rule as I have to save the file in 2003 for other users and I've got another 2 rules for varoius other things.

I've tried crudely putting "Mitigated"OR"Accepted" and it dosen't work.

Deleting Text With Conditional Formatting?

Using Text Variable For Conditional Formatting

Mar 11, 2014

I'm trying to reverse engineer a spreadsheet (see attached) and apply the data table to my own spreadsheet. The inspiration spreadsheet (attached) utilizes a 2 variable data table and conditional formatting, where the cells are formatted based on their value in relation to a variable called "Gross". So the rules look something like this:

Cell Value Between 0 and Gross-1
Cell Value > Gross
Cell Value = Gross
Cell Value < 0
Graded Color Scale Minimum ="<385000" Maximum =">385000"

I assume the Gross is calculated as 25% * 350,000 = 87,500. The hard coded value of 385000 is actually incorrect, because it's based on a percentage of 10%... but I'll let that slide The resulting formatting of the data table would support the hypothesis that "Gross" = 87,500. However, when I reset the Conditional Formatting to reference another cell with the calculation result of 87,500 it completely throws off the formatting. I'm simply stumped as to how they are using the text "Gross" as a variable. How/where are such variables set so they can be used in conditional formatting?

How to apply the data table logic itself to another spreadsheet.

Conditional Formatting Text To Numbers?

Jun 26, 2013

I'm designing a spreadsheet for our department which tracks a students progress throughout their time at the school. There are 4 levelsStatementSchool Action PlusSchool ActionMonitorIn year 7, they may come into our school at Monitor level, but when they get to year 8 they may have moved to Action Plus. I want to highlight that change on my spreadsheet with conditional formatting if possible so if they go up, the cell will turn red, if they move down the list the cell will turn green.

I've created two columns on an options sheet (which holds all my data validation lists) and assigned a number to each of the levels so i can conditionally format my columns using < and > but I don't know how to write the lookup formula

Conditional Formatting Specific Text Containing ONLY

Oct 29, 2009

I have a conditional formatting rule that checks for misspellings of client names.

My employees input client names into a spreadsheet, and I need for the spreadsheet to notify them via a fill color if they have misspelled the name.

So, I set up a rule for each client name using the specific text criteria.

The rule simply checks for the client's name, and fills the cell green if the client's name is correct. If the client's name is misspelled, then the cell remains unfilled.

This works great if the client's name is spelled correctly, or spelled incorrectly.

But there's one hitch:

If the client's name is spelled correctly, but there is some extra character(s) inputted after the client's name, the cell is still filled green even though the data in the cell is useless because the extra character will cause it to be rejected by the next party down the line in the value chain.

So I'm hoping to find a way to make the specific text containing criteria operate with only the specific text I specify and no extra characters or anything after the specific text.

Conditional Formatting, Variable Text

Mar 1, 2010

I can't figure out how to set up conditional formatting to let me know if the value of a text cell is NOT X or Y. In other words, the only appropriate responses are X or Y (or Y or N or whatever the case may be) and if it's NOT one of those two letters, I want to apply conditional
formatting. Also, will it accept either upper or lower case (I'm fine with it either way).

Multiple Conditional Formatting On Text

Aug 7, 2006

I need to employ conditional formatting to text on a spreadsheet - but using more than the 3 colours provided from the Format>Conditional Formatting menu.

I recently purchased the ‘Excel Hacks’ (100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools) book by David & Raina Hawley, Hack #92 details how to get around Excel’s 3-criteria limit for conditional formatting using VBA, but this solution only describes multiple formatting on numbers, not text. For example, if each letter of the alphabet were entered into separate cells, I would like each to appear in a different colour automatically.

Conditional Formatting Of Text Obtained From IF-Statement

Mar 24, 2014

Conditional formatting. I have been tasked with creating a simple game for a group training project.

The game consists of users filling in the answers to questions (simple one word text answers). My boss wants to have a master sheet with the correct answers, and a subsequent sheet that will then compare the employee's answer to the master sheet. If the employee's answer is correct, then the output sheet simply displays the correct answer, however, if the employee's answer is wrong, he would like the output to display the correct answer and highlight the cell.

Is there a way to have the output sheet highlight a cell only when the answer on the employee sheet is different from the master sheet? I was thinking along the lines of using an if statement to see if the values of the employee sheet differ from the master sheet, but I do not know how I would then use that result to highlight the cells in the output sheet.

Conditional Formatting For Cells That Do Not Contain Text Range?

Mar 24, 2014

I'm trying to create a conditional format that formats only cells that do not contain one of the names from a range of cells.

For example:
Cell O2 contains Florida
Cell O3 contains Texas
Cell range W1:W2
W1 = Florida
W2 = Arizona

In this example I want Texas to have a strikethrough, but Florida to be unchanged since Texas is not included in the list.

I keep getting an error when I try to do a format of text that does not contain =W1:W2.
