Worksheet Cell Automatically Highlights In Different Color When It Is Selected
Mar 6, 2013
I occasionally give presentations with Excel and would like to make it easier for the audience to see a particular cell when I move to it. The cursor can be tiny, and some people have a hard time seeing the cursor, so I use the keyboard to navigate to the cells I talk about. Yet, the cell, which then has a border around it, still can be hard to see.
Is there a way in Excel to have a cell that is highlighted, that is I move to a cell with the keyboard, so that it pops out in a different font color or background or format, when I move to it, and it automatically reverts to its usual format and color when I move away from it?

I am trying to use the worksheet calculate event to automatically change the color of a cell only when that particular cell changes. In E2 of the worksheet is a formula use to determine rating based on the result of 2 other cells. The rating is classified as follows
Low
Moderate
High
Maximum
I would like to generate a different set of color to the cell and fonts for each of the rating. For example,
"Cyan" to the cell E1 and E2 with Black font if the result is "Low"
"Plum" to the cell E1 and E2 with "Black font if the result is "Moderate"
"Blue" to the cell E1 and E2 with "White" font if the result is "High" and
"Red" to the cell E1 and E2 with "White" font if the result is "Maximum"

As an example:
Cells C7:F7 are currently shaded light green. Cells G7:L7 are shaded light blue. M7 is shaded dark blue. N7:Q7 are shaded light yellow and R7:T7 are shaded light gray.
When any cell in that range (C7:T7) is clicked (selected), I want the cell color to change to it's normal color; like light yellow to yellow, light blue to blue, dark blue to blue, light green to green and finally light gray to gray.
These cells represent headings for a database. When a heading is selected, the database will sort by that column and the header will change colors. I can do the sort code.
If another header is chosen, the previous selection will need to revert back to it's lighter color and the new selection will change as above... so only ONE cell will be changed from it's "normal state" color at a time. This will serve as an indicator as to which column is being used for the sort. To the user, it will have the appearance of switching on and off.
If any other cell on the sheet is selected, then this should not trigger an event change.

I have a spreadsheet containing many rows of data that I need people to review. After reviewing the data in the column, a reviewer must enter comments in the right-most column and then hit the Enter key to move to the next row down.
What I'd like to happen -- As a reviewer selects the cell where they need to enter data, I want the entire row to highlight. I can use conditional formatting to change the color of the row once data is entered, but I want to change the color of the row when a specific cell is selected. I've attached a sample spreadsheet.

I have some Worksheet_SelectionChange code that automatically calls a Userform when a cell is selected.
What I want to do is retrieve the data from the cell where the Userform is called from and enter it into a textbox on the Userform.
There are 3 other columns to the right of the cell that is selected.
If there is data populated there, I want this to be copied to the appropriate textboxes on the Userform too.

I currently use spreadsheets to report on backup processes.
I am trying to speed up this process and one thing that woudl help me is a function that will automatically fill the row with a colour depending on the choice in the dropdown box, so if you choose 'successful' from the dropdown list the row colour would fill to green and if you select 'failed', the row would change to red and a choice of 'completed/errors' would result in orange.
This process is currently done manually and often results in errors like a succesful result with a red filling.
Is there anyway to automate this process? i was trying to whip up a macro, but have been unsuccessful so far.

I am fairly new to macros and have trouble with VBA. I have a file with multiple worksheets. Each worksheet contains the name of a specific location in cell A8. I want this name in cell A8 to be the name on the worksheet tab for each worksheet in my file but do not know how to accomplish this. Is that even possible?

I've seen a spreadsheet where the user can click on a cell, and the row the cell is in automatically highlights.
This is useful where there is a lot of columns, and it also looks pretty snazzy!
How do I do this? I know one way is to put the following code in when you right click the sheet tab and choose "view code":
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
UsedRange.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub
But then I can't have nice background colours for other cells. Any suggestions?
btw, I've v. new to VBA - best to assume I know nothing!

I would like to automatically color the fill of a cell based on the cell contents.
For example, if the cell content is "1" I would like the color of the cell to be cyan and if the cell content is "2" I would like the color the cell to be red.
I've tinkered with several different formulas but I just can't get anything to work.'

I am trying to simplify a spreadsheet. I have a column with dates from last year and I was wondering if there is a formula that would automatically change the color of the cell once the date is over one year to the day to show that the date in the cell has expired?

I have these two subs in my thisworkbook module.
They do not want to work together.
Is there a way to incorporate the two of them?
T
he first 1 just checks to see if a cell is greater than 0 and colors the Tab green.
The first 1 is this:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim ShArr As Variant
Dim RunMacro As Boolean

In my Excel 2003 worksheet, I need the row color to automatically change to blue (color 5) (bgcolor = #0000FF) - when the user changes the text from VALID to INVALID in the range: B3:B65000.
For example:
Cell B5 contains the text: VALID
When the user changes the text in the field to read: INVALID - then I need the row range: A5:W5 to change to the color blue.

I must be hitting a key by accident sometimes which makes Excel highlight the cells immediately below the ones I want as well. So, if I click in the middle of cell A1, it also highlights A2, A3 and sometimes A4 even though I haven't dragged down over them.
Why is this? I can't work out how to stop it doing it. Some previously recommended hitting F8 but this doesn't seem to stop it.

I have a matrix with numbers that each cell is composed by a function of two parameters (two columns). The formula is
"=COUNTIFS(T2:T99,"15",V2:V99,"14")",
So it's counts when in one cell column I receive 15 and in the other 14. For instance, I receive the number 3 - so I have three rows that match (the first column with 15 and the second with 14).
I want, when I select the cell from the matrix (table) with the number 3 (that I receive from the formula) it will highlight the relevant rows..

Trying to use VBA to prevent users from sending a form unless all fields have been completed, then highlight blank cells, and send a pop-up message that all cells in myRange need to be filled out. Otherwise, send the worksheet.
My code will highlight the blank cells, but it only highlights one cell at a time and then I have to click on the pop-up message for it to highlight the next one, and then the email still goes out.
How can I fix this to highlight all the blank cells at once, with only one pop-up message, and prevent the email from going out?

code which highlights a cell depending on the criteria of another cell.
Example.
In B1 I have the formula =NOW() (we all now what this means).
In B2 I have a completion date.
I would like A2 to fill with a specified colour.
Can this be done so that it works down the whole sheet, if the date is in B5 then only A5 will highlight so basically only the A cell on the same row will change depending on the date in B on the corresponding row?

The problem is when I highlight a row with some color the original color of the row is gone, so I tried this code, and again, it's removing the original format and color for the row This is the code from McGimpsey & Associates : Excel : Highlight row with background colors
Code:
PrivateSub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Const cnNUMCOLS AsLong=256
Const cnHIGHLIGHTCOLOR AsLong=36'default lt. yellow
Static rOld As Range
Static nColorIndices(1To cnNUMCOLS)AsLong
Dim i AsLong
IfNot rOld IsNothingThen'Restore color indices
[code].....
How can I retain the range's historical color so that when I deselect the row it reverts properly?

I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet consisting of many worksheets (20 or so). Each of these worksheets contain detail level data regarding different projects. One of the columns in these worksheets is the 'Status' column (column F). There is conditional formatting on this column where if the text is 'G' then change background to a green color, 'Y'=yellow, 'R'=Red and 'U'=Grey.
The first worksheet is a summary sheet that I would like to pull information from each of the detail worksheet's columns B, D, E, G and H if the status column (Column F) is 'R' or 'Y'.
The number of rows in the detail worksheet can change each week (as few as 0 and as many as 100)
