Cell Contains Text Then Highlight The Other Cell?

Mar 19, 2014

Basically, I want to have a VBA coding so that it will highlight Column A to I in red If Column C Contain the word "Direct".

I'm currently using this code but it only highlight If the cell = "Direct". If the cell contains "Direct + something else" or "Something else + Direct" it does not highlight.

Macro That Will Highlight Cell And Four Rows To Right Based On Text In Cell

Aug 6, 2014

I have a spreadsheet where if Cell A2 says "Deposit", Rows A2-E2 would be formatted with a Blue background.

I've tried conditional formatting, but I can't built it into a Macro (I can't make it run), and it only highlights the cell that has that value. I also tried having the spreadsheet filter down to only the values I want highlighted, then highlighting all cells and un-filtering the column- this didn't work either.

It would basically say :

If (any cell in Row A) has text = "Deposit" (it needs to be exact, it can't be "containing"), set cell with the word "Deposit" and 4 cells to the right as Blue (I'm not picky about the color).

Highlight Specific Text Within A Cell Of Other Text

Jun 19, 2009

This is the text:

Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts. Test various equipment - hands, aprons, sleeves, hats, etc.

What I need is for "Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts." to be bold and highlighted in gray, but none of the other text. Conditional formatting highlights the entire cell, which won't work.

Formula To Highlight Text Within A Cell Which Also Has Numbers

Jun 28, 2006

I have attached a file which shows some cells which start with "p" and then a number and some have the same but with the word " total" in them.

I would like to run a formula in the column next to it which will highlight which cells have that word in order that I can data sort a large file and delete the totals.

I think it will be an IF formula on cells that contain criteria.

Conditional Formating: Highlight Cells Based On Text Of Another Cell

Aug 28, 2009

I have created a drop down box that allows me to choose multiple different Text Options. Example: Cell B4 has dropdown that lets me choose the Text Options, "House", "Car" and "Truck".

Next, I have 5 or so other columns underneath with their own text. What I want to do is have different cells highlight themselves depending on what is in Cell B4.

Example, if "House" is selected in B4, I want cells B7 and B9 to highlight. If "Car" is selected, I want cells B7, B8, and B10 to highlight. If "Truck" is highlighted, I want cells B9-B11 to highlight. Is this possible to do? I've tried using If/Then statements, but those don't seem to work for this type of thing.

Conditional Formatting - Highlight Cell Containing Specific Character Within Text

Jul 26, 2013

I have an excel spread sheet & I wish to highlight any cell that contains any of the following characters with in a string of text.

/ : * " < > ? |

E.g. a cell in the spread sheet containing the text "Is this a Question?" would be highlighted.

I have tried to use - 'Format only cells that contain' > Specific Text > Containing > for each of the characters and this does not work.

When I do this any cell containing any text is highlighted.

In addition there is formatting on any cell > 60 characters which turns the cell red and this works fine.

What would happen if (when I get the problem above resolved), a cell is > than 60 characters & contains a character listed above?

Does 1 formatting take precedent over another?

(Not critical to know the answer to the additional question, just curious - as long as it is highlighted one colour or another then no problem.)

Conditional Formatting - Highlight Cell If Exists In Any Cell In Range Of Above Row

This is a conditional formatting problem I have not been able to resolve:

I have a range, say A1:N30

Each cell contains a text/number combination.

I would like to highlight each cell on a specific row if the vale exists within the row above - the issue is that the cell values are not in the same columns.

I have attached a sample workbook with the desired output.

Highlight Cell Based On Value Falling Between Certain Range In Another Cell?

Feb 1, 2012

Let's assume Cell A2, A3, A4, etc, only contain names/text.

Then let's assume I have set up cell B2, B3, B4, etc, to contain a percentage value based on a formula and some other entries I have made.

It should be simple, but I'm having trouble - how do I set up A2, A3, A4, etc, to highlight into different colours based on Column B's data/percentage falling into a certain range?

ie: - if B2 is between 0% - 25%, then highlight A2 green
- if B2 is between 26% - 50%, then highlight A2 orange
- if B2 is between 51% - 100%, then highlight A2 red

Selecting Cell A2 Will Highlight/change Font In Cell A1

Jun 18, 2006

How can I change the font color or highlight cell A1, when I select cell A2. Cell A2 is still blank, no value entered yet. I also would like cell A1 to return to original font color or no hightlight when cell A2 is no longer selected (active), whether a value is entered or not in cell A2. Let me clearify, (A1 thru N1) and (A3 thru N3) have diferent dates and the font color is white, as is the cell too. Therefor you can not see the dates in (A1 thru N1) or (A3 thru N3).

However, when any cell (A2 thru N2) or (A4 thru N4) is selected (example A4), the cell above it (cell A3) changes font color or highlights, so the date can be seen in (A3). But when cell (A4) is no longer selected the above cell (A3) hides the date (changes back to white font on white cell). Data or a value is not necessarily entered into (A4) for (A3) to change. (A4) is only selected to show the date in (A3). But if data or value is entered into (A4), the date in (A3) will still be seen until (A4) is no longer selected/active.

Highlight Cell That Is Closest Number To Different Cell?

Apr 4, 2014

[Code].....

I am running a time series linear regression on a credit card company. The left most column is the amount of cards they had on a certain year and the prediction is the cards the regression formula predicted. The + and - are the columns added or subtracted the standard error which is 3.25. I am trying to highlight the closest +/- number to the original cards. For example, in the first Row 76.98 is closer to 78 than 83 is so i would like to have 76.98 highlighted...showing that subtracting the standard error gave us the closest prediction. The second column the 87.085 cell should be highlighted because adding the standard error gave us the closest prediction to 86.4.

Mar 26, 2014

I have a spreadsheet that records "Audit Date" in column C & "Audit Due Date" in column D. "Audit Due Date" is always 2 years from "Audit Date". I think I learnt the correct forumla to use =EDATE(C2,24). What I would like Excel to do is to highlight "Audit Due Date":

Red: If the audit was completed 1.5 years+ Amber: If the audit was completed between 1 & 1.5 years Green: If the audit was completed less than 1 year The colour key will show me which audits need chasing.

Excel 2003 :: Highlight Cell On Same Row As Active.cell Whenever Active.cell Changes

Dec 10, 2012

whenever the active cell is within a given range, highlight the cell on the same row in column S (by changing its interior colour). This should occur each time the active cell is changed, whether by cursor keys or mouse. The effect would be similar to the row and column highlights at left and top of the worksheet.

This action should be restricted to one sheet in the workbook.

It's for Excel 2003.

Highlight Cell If Cell On Different Sheet Has Same Value?

Jul 29, 2011

code to manipulate to get my spreadsheet to do what I want. To no avail, I entered file records in a spreadsheet and each file will be given a certain location that pertains to where they go in the storage container. I have a mapping of the storage container in the sheet labeled "Container Mapping". There are three seperate sheets labeled "Files", "Purchasing PO's", and "Part Numbers". Each of these sheets has a column labeled "Location" on them. What I would like to do is create some code that updates the container mapping in the "Container Mapping" sheet when new locations are entered into the three other sheets. Also, an error check to prevent duplicate entries and entries outside of the container mapping range would be ideal to have as well.

I have some code that I have already created using If and For loops but I have heard that using loops is very inefficient. Since my programming knowledge ends at using the C programming language I did not know any other way to implement the highlighting function. Also, I have a Auto Caps function implemented for the location columns so the user is safeguarded against entering a non capitalized location number.

If Text Of Cell In Range Matches Text Of Cell In Column - Match Formatting

Jul 5, 2012

Trying to create a button that, once clicked performs the following task:

Checks whether the text in a cell in the column X2:X40 matches the text in a cell in the Range A2:U14.

If it does, the formatting of the cell in X2:X40 (eg background) must change to match that of the corresponding cell in A2:U14.

Only 1 cell in the range will match 1 cell in the column

For example:
Before click:
Cell A9 has "John" written in it and a yellow background
Cell X4 has "John" written in it and a clear background

During click:
matches these cells
changes X4 so that it also has a yellow background

After click:
Cell A9 has "John" written in it and a yellow background
Cell X4 has "John" written in it and a yellow background

Excel 2013 :: Check Cell For Text And Return Corresponding Text In Adjacent Cell?

Jan 28, 2014

I have 2 tabs in a 2013 workbook. Inventory Receipts and lookups. One of the Data verification lookups I have is a drop down list in each cell in Column B (eg: Cat, Dog, Mouse) In the lookups tab I have another cell range containing the sounds (eg: Meow, Bark, Squeak).

What I am trying to acheive is, if B2 contains Cat, then return Meow in B3, if B2 contains Dog then return bark in b3 and if B2 contains Mouse return squeak in B3. Ideally I would like the formula to return the text from my lookup sheet (eg: 'Lookups'!C2,'Lookups'!C3,'Lookups'!C4). So depending on which option they choose from my animal drop down list .. the correct noise would automatically fill in.

Cell Formatting - Red Text If Cell Matches Certain Condition Based On Another Cell

Sep 24, 2013

I have one column that contains a monetary amount (column AQ) , and another that contains text reading either "inflows" or "outflows" (column AC)

When AC says "inflows", AQ should be positive, and when AC says "Outflows", AQ should be negative.

I need the text in column AQ (the monetary amount) to become red when the the opposite is true.

i.e. When AQ is negative and AC says "Inflows", AQ should become red. And when AQ is positive and AC says "Outflows", AQ should become red.

Evaluate Each Row And If The Last Value For That Row Is X, Then Highlight That Cell

Oct 8, 2008

I want to do it evaluate each row and if the last value for that row is X, then highlight that cell and the Server name for that row.

I have used conditional formatting but it seems that I cannot specify an option to look at the last cell in a row, evaluate that cell's value and then apply the formatting. I can only have conditional formatting highlight every cell in that row that matches the condition.

I only want the last cell, which represents the most current data, to be highlighted, as well as the category name, if the condition is met.
