I have a lookup that gives and RGB colour code in Cell A1; for example 186, 206, 140.
I'd then like Cells R10:V15 to fill with the RGB colour based on the result in A1.
Is it possible to search Excel by cell colour, i.e. font colour...and then change the said colour to another one?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a peice of code that i know is inefficient and it is in danger of becoming too large. I have a spreadsheet that has circles aligned to each cell. There are around 100 in total. The code changes the colour of the shape based on the cell value in which it sits. However, the code needs changing and also it does not automatically update the colour shape even though the cell value changes. I have to manually select a cell and then the formula bar and then press return for it to update.
I am using excel 2010.
This is the code i am using for each shape.
Code:
If Range("n12").Value = text Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Oval 250").Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If

I would like to change cells A2 to G2 to a different colour based on the value of G2
(0 to 48) Dark Green
(-2) Light Green
(-4) Yellow
(-6 to -48) Red
The range of the sheet would be A2 - G130. Each Row would change on value of cells in Column G.
I would like it to loop through all the charts on the "Graphs" sheet.
It works well but gives a "Run-time error '1004'" Application-defined or object-defined error afterward that I would like to get rid off.
VB:
Sub Colour_Chart_working()
Dim rngColors As Range
Dim rngCell As Range

A column of cells can be 1o different shades of green according to their value (achieved by using conditional formatting.) I want to arrange that at a certain time all the cells of a part of the row of a formatted cell are the same colour.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a spreadsheet for work, and have managed to do everything I need to so far but I need to colour specific letter strings, certain colours within a range of cells (each letter string will only appear once on each sheet)
The strings I will be looking for vary depending on data entered so I will need to cell reference them
The strings that need colouring are in cells with other strings that must stay black (They cannot be separated from other strings due to the nature of the grid)
I need some strings red, some green, and some blue.
These changes should also apply to the whole workbook not just one sheet.
Is there a way to do this with the VBA code.
I need to fill 2 other cells with varying colours dependant on what is chosen within another cell.
I have a drop-down list in cell A2 to select either ON SITE, ACTIVE or CANCEL.
What I need then basically is...
if A2 equals 'ON SITE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) GREEN
if A2 equals 'ACTIVE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) YELLOW
if A2 equals 'CANCEL' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) RED

I have a calendar set up with dates going along P6:CU6. Column C9:C27 has various status' for the job such as "Complete" or "In Progress" etc. Next to that in rows D and E I have start and end dates for the job. What I am trying to do is change the fill colour of the empty cells that are in line with each job, so that between the correct dates they are the corresponding colour to the status. So a complete job on row 9 that started on 26/05/14 and finished on 28/05/14 would have three green cells along Q9, R9, and S9.
I have tried an IF/AND/OR statement which looks like this:
=IF(AND(Q6>=D9,Q6<=E9),OR(IF(C9="Planned","P",""),IF(C9="In Progress","IP",""),IF(C9="Late","L",""),IF(C9="Complete","C","")),"")
I am getting a #VALUE! data type error, I have tried reformatting the cells to various date formats but no luck so far. This could be because my dates are set up as =P6+1 etc. but I am not sure. The error only occurs when the cell falls within the dates, otherwise it remains blank.
I intend to hide the value in the cell and use conditional formatting to change the cell colour based on the hidden input.
Once this is working I also need to take weekends into account, column G has any 2 value combination of Y and N to say whether the employee is working Saturday, Sunday or both. Row 7 has a "1" value underneath every Saturday and a "2" underneath every Sunday. I can imagine how this would work but combining it with the above formula could be complicated.
what i would like to do is change the fill colour of D68 if the word Air appears with in D5:D65?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I have a macro that colors the selected cells in a certain color. Now im looking for a code that will switch that color every 7th cell, the cells will only be selected horizontally. For example:
if the selected range is 10 cells, 7 of them should be in one color and 3 of the should be in another. But if the selected range is 15 cells the first 7 should have one color and the next 7 should have another and then the last one should have the first color again, and so on..
In the xls for each step I have 2 raws-planned and actual. Step planned duration is populated manually over the weeks.Before that row we have another reflecting the actual step status per week
I would like to find a way how cell reflecting the actual status of a step can be automatically populated (coulored) based on the colour/value of activities that are planned for that week and for that step.Activities are listed below the step and again have planned and actual row.
The rule should be : if for a week we have several activities all of them should be finished in order to have step stataus auto populated as green. If a single activity planned for that week is not done-then weekly step status should be red.
The activities for each step are grouped below the step. It seems that one of the difficult part in that request would be how formula will understand where starts and finishes the activities that belong to one step. To get that happen I placed a column showing step and another column where we activity.
I've had a look through the forum and can't see an answer, so apologies if I'm duplicating something!
I have a spreadsheet where column O has five conditions:
1 PO in
2 High Probability
3 Medium Probability
4 Low Probability
Blank
I need to colour code the whole row based on the value in the cells; if there were four conditions, I could do this with conditional formatting, but with five (with white as the fifth condition), I need to look at VBA.
However, I'm having difficulty colouring the whole row; how do I do this?
e.g. what I need to do is:
If O2 = "1 PO in"; Select A2:T2; Colour green
In addition, I need to ensure that if there is no data in column D, but column O is "1 PO in", it is highlighted in a separate colour. I have a macro for that, but don't know whether in needs to be put into the code before or after the macro needed above...
i want a cell to change to the colour green if 5 other cells on the page are green colour.
I want a cell to change colour to red if there are 1 or more red cells on the page.
How do I make this work?
Is there a way to automatically conditionally format each column in each row, when either open, closed or cancelled is selecting from a drop down in the Status column. For example every cell is blank in colour, but if I select open in the drop down menu for row A2, the entire row will turn Red. Just wondered if there is a way instead of individually formatting every row separately. I would like to be able to copy the formula or whatever down the entire sheet.

If c = "" And c.Offset(, -1) "" Then

I am trying to get spreadsheet cells to change colour relating to arrival and departure dates. I also need the cells to be assigned value so I can use them to calculate cost based on number of nights, eg arrive Sept 10 dept Sept 15 = 5 nights. I can then use this 5 to multiply out costs.
I have attached an example of what I am trying to achieve.
I have searched the forum and saw similar questions but I couldnt apply them.
Trying to run a VBA to colour a range of cells based on the input of a name. I can write the basic level VBA to colour one cell by numerical input but struggling to see how this can be adapted to colour a range of cells and if instead of 1,2,3,4 etc the case could be replaced as text: eg Joe, John, Jason etc.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet where I am adding up figures in columns.
I need to differentiate between 4 different "types" of cells to sum.
Cells with figures in them are either green, red or have no fill; and some cells contain no figures at all.
At the bottom of the column, I need to total up all the figures in red cells, as well as all the figures in green cells.
The shading of these cells is not permanent - colours are changed as work progresses, so I need the totals to keep up with this.
If it cannot be done based on cell fill colour, is there any other way to do it, other than the usual long-winded way of @sum(..... etc
I have a userform that outputs data to a worksheet. One of the textboxes contains either one of 3 values, either: N/A, Debit, or Credit. This textbox is called "tbDebitOrCredit".
What I need is, when the the user clicks the "Submit" button and the data is output to the worksheet, the cell that recevies it output from "tbDebitOrCredit" turns a specific colour based on the value.
For example:
N/A = White
Debit = Red
Credit = Green
I have built conditional formatting into some cells on ' Sheet 1' and would like a message box (saying "Check errors before closing") to appear when the user tries to close the workbook if any of these cells are coloured red (ColourIndex 3).

The original cell may have a date and be yellow and I want the target cell to be yellow with the same date, if someone then changes the original cell to be red the target cell should automatically change to Red
Is there an easy way to do this or do I need some VB script?
It's quite funny that i'm asking this cause I answered a similar quesstion earlier. But I can't seem to get my head around the thinking of this one.
I am trying to create a formatting so that if todays date is greater than the date in the cell the cell is coloured red. And if todays date is > today()-14 <today() the cell is coloured yellow.
I don't think it is as simple as using conditionaly formatting, it may well be but like I said I can't quite get my head around what I need to do.
Can you sum cells based on colour, and if so, how do you determine what code/number your colour is to input into the programming?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to change the colour of a row based on the value in a cell (in a column) and am wondering how I can do that. Conditional formatting doesn't allow enough colours unfortunatly. Ive googled it and can only get a cell colour to change not a row colour.
To give an explanation:
Sheet 1: Rows 5 - 100 colour to change based on Sheet 2 Column K5-100.
Column K5-K100 will have values between 0 and 10.
