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:
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.
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 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:
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.
Summary of performance of various products against target is as follows,

I need the final result automated as follows,
If 2 green of the 4 products, then final result Gree If 2 Amber of the 4 products, then final result amber If 2 Red of the 4 products, final result Red
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).
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.
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?
I'm trying to add a textbox at the current position (selected cell) with a set size, fill color, and border color. I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8(VS.80).aspx:
This 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:
I 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 work for a training company based near Gatwick. We are currently producing a new course and one of the new functions we are using is the MOD function. We are using it to colour alternate lines (Conditional formatting). The formula works great, but we do have a few mathematical questions on it.
The formula is:
=MOD(Row()-C,N*2)+1<=N
The question I have is about the sections in red, why are they there and why do they make it work?
I have font color white in blank cells in column E and I (from row 5 to row 245) so the visitors will not see the text. If any of these cells become yellow (color code is 6), the font color will become black so visitors can see the text alot far better than white. I've tried this code myself after this post but nothing happen
I have various row cells in column (F) filled with the color Green. And corresponding text in Column G. How can I change the text of that particular row to white.
i.e.: if any cell in column F is Green, change the text color of that row in Column G to white?
if it actually possible to colour data points depending on the colour of the cell of the data it refers to? if not is it possible to colour it any other way i have uneven amounts of data for weach month but still want the months to be displayed, this is the best way i can think of of doing this
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.
I'm trying to use Excel to keep team standings for a baseball board game. I had no problem calculating wining percentage. Finally figured out how to calculate 'games behind.' Now I'm wondering if there is a way to change the font color of a team name based on their wining pct?
A typical row contains: A2(Team Name), B2 (Wins), C2 (Losses), D2 (Pct (B2/(B2+C2)), E2 (GB). Is there a way to use the IF function to return the 'Team Name' in green if D2>.500, 'Team Name' in red if D2<.500, and 'Team Name' in black if D2=.500 ??
I have values that I want to color code in my table. Originally I was tagging them as numbers, but instead I need them as colors.
Function conversion(pVal As Double)
If pVal > 0.05 Then conversion = "1" ElseIf pVal > 0.001 Then conversion = "2" ElseIf pVal > 0.0001 Then conversion = "3" ElseIf pVal > 0.00001 Then conversion = "4"
End If
End Function
Now I want instead of conversion = "1" etc to be
Function conversion(pVal As Double)
If pVal > 0.05 Then (make white) ElseIf pVal > 0.001 Then (make brighter blue) ElseIf pVal > 0.0001 Then (make green) ElseIf pVal > 0.00001 Then (make navy blue)
End If
End Function
I want the text and cell the same color (number and cell so the number disappears so that I just have a colored cell but the value is still there if I want to look at it).
I've reached a problem with colors in Excel: need to convert cell color (get from .Interior.ColorIndex property) into RGB value (to set ForeColor of the button). How can I make it?
If the percent in a cell is more than 10% less than another cell I would like it to turn red. I would like the cell to turn yellow if the percent in that cell is within 10% below the percent in another cell, or if the percent is greater than that of another cell I would like the cell to turn green. How do I do this?
To clarify; If cell a1 is 20% and Cell a2 is 21%, I would like the color in cell a1 to turn yellow since it is less than 10% below cell a2. OR if cell a1 is 25% I would like it to turn green since it is greater than cell a2. OR if cell a1 is 10% I would like it to turn red since it is more than 10% below cell a2.
I've looked at conditional formatting and it does not seem to apply, this seems like it would need an if function combined with conditional formatting.
I am trying to utilise the color function code i have previously asked for help with on this site in a new spreadsheet i have included the code below for your reference. I am utilising the following formula to total the numbers in the cells coloured =colorfunction(J1,E1:E26,True)
Excel keeps returning the following error 'cant find project or library'
Option Explicit

First I want to copy the calculations from sheet "Calc" to sheet "Cost" then in column J in the same row, the background color will change like conditional format on numbers. The code works when copy the calculations from sheet "Calc" to sheet "Cost" but the color function (codes in sheet "Cost") does not work after pasted in sheet "Cost". But the color funtion does works when enter numbers in Column J alone. I know there must be a simple codes that can do this while paste from other sheet. This code is in module
I have this spreadsheet with tons of vba coding. The intent of the spreadsheet is to track invoices as it goes through the approval process. The part that is giving me issues is the first and seventh column. The seventh column is actually a formula that returns how many days between the invoice due date and today’s date. The coding works fine, with one small glitch. Once the dates have been entered, the first column (which contains the color-coding) stops changing colors. What it should do is anything with 0 or less days remaining should show red, between 1 to 10 days, show yellow and anything above 10 days, show green.
So if I enter an invoice with 11 days remaining to pay, it will show green in the first column, but when I open the spreadsheet tomorrow, it remains green, even though it should show yellow. What I want it to do is refresh every time it is opened, or every day, which ever is easier. There are reasons that we cannot use conditional formatting, one of them being that we want to expand the color coding system to more than 3 colors soon, but I want to get this working correctly first.
This is what I have. I cannot attach the spreadsheet because it contains confidential information.

I'm working on a workbook that will track staffing patterns.
The workbook has three worksheets: Sheet1 "RCS", Sheet2 "HCT' and Sheet3 "Hidden". I've attached the workbook to this thread. The password for the form is "j".
On Sheet3 "Hidden" I have two tables that are set up to collect the SUM of columns on Sheets1 "RCS" and Sheet2 "HCT". I'm finding the SUM of each range by way of the background color. I've set up the following formulas and when the "data collection tables" are in the same worksheets as the original information, the formula's work perfectly:
The following functions are pulling data from Sheet1 "RCS" and placing them into a table in Sheet2 "Hidden"

I have two more functions that aren't working due to the fact that the source values are percentages and NOT plain numbers. The above functions work great for SUM but not for percentages. EXAMPLE--Let's say, 3 sub percentages it gives me the SUM of the 3 percentages (i.e. 85% + 100% + 100% = 285% instead of giving me 95%.

How might I use the following functions to find the average of the source fields instead of the SUM?
I have set up a timetable for a dyslexic student and subjects need to be colour coded i have a full page and a mini timetable to filled in.
An example... I want to have excel automaticly change cell A1 to the background colour of e1 e1's cell color is defined by using vlookup and getting the colour of the cell that is to the right of it
a1 = cell colour of e1 e1 = the cell colour of VLOOKUP(c1,a10:a20,2,TRUE)
