I'm looking for a formula that will change the colour of another cell dependent on dates.
Say I have a date (or any data) in cell A1 I want cell A2 to be highlighted yellow, after 10 days I want this cell to change to red as it is overdue.
Finally when a date is entered into the yellow/red cell I want the colour to remove.
I am trying to change the colour of a cell based on the expiry date. I know I need to use conditional formatting but Im having trouble.
Colomn E from row 5 to 1200 have dates in them from as far back as 08/2013. I need to change the cells so they turn yellow after 28 days and red after 45.
E.g. 1. E953 has a date 07/09/2013, I need it to change colour as above, 28 days and 45 days.
2. E961 has a date 04/10/2013, I need it to change as above, 28 days and 45 days.
Can I formulate the entire E column so when I put a date in, the formula will automatically start.
All the other formula's I've seen involve starting from "today" or "now" .
How to colour cells depending on text in other cells, for example,
I would like cells D26:AA26 to turn light red if the letters 'FSM' are in cell 'E26' even if other text appears in it, eg 'SA+/FSM'
I have been playing about with conditional formatting but can seem to solve the mixed text issue?
I have included an example below,
Do you use a "*FSM*" around the formula?

I have a simple due date spread sheet for tasks that need completing at work. I am able to make the 'Due date' cell turn red when it is equal to or less than todays date, using conditional formatting. No problem.
I also have a 'Date closed' cell which is populated with a date when the task is complete.
What I am struggling to do however is change the red 'Due Date' cell to Grey once the 'Date Closed' cell is populated with a date. In fact I would like the whole row to be greyed out once the 'Date Closed' cell is populated.
I also have an 'Open / Closed' cell, which tells me if a task is open or closed, being chosen from a drop down I installed. Could this be used as an alternative to the 'Date Closed' cell. ie If someone selects 'Closed' in cell A4 the whole A row goes grey.
I dont have that great knowledge in Excel but i wanted to try and run a
macro in an IF formula but realised that was not possible. I have now got a
formula that gives a value in a cell when i want the whole row to turn to
red, but im not sure how i can get a macro that will change the whole row to
red when that cell shows a value. Can anyone help on this matter?
I am tyring to do conditional formatting whereby if anything is entered in a cell i want the colour to change to say yellow and if nothing is entered just to leave blank.

I would like to have the colour of a cell change within a spreadsheet anytime that a change has been made. I have used the worksheet_change function to change any text that has changed in a cell, however I would like to have the actual cell colour change if someone deletes anything from that cell. I figured that I could use the worksheet_change function for that as well however it is not working.

I want a certain object to change colour when a certain cell = something.
I have 5 cells in the same row (C20:G20)
When i click on one of them i want it to either change the background of the selected cell or the background of the cell below it.
EG if i click on C20 either C20 or D20 the highlight black and change the text colour to white, or just change the background to grey.
i thought it might be something like Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6
i tried this>
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells = C20 Then
Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6
End If
End Sub
Trying to have this embedded in the worksheet private sub change section. I want it to change the value of these ranges when the target has a value in it. I'm getting an error though:

Range("I25:J26,P25:P26,R25:S26").Interior.ColorIndex = White
Else
Range("H25:V31").Interior.ColorIndex = 15

I'm trying to make a scheduling page that uses timebars to represent when people are working.

Is there any way to change the border color of a cell by running a subroutine? Here is my example:
Col 1
Col 2
1
2
3
4
I have an existing table with data that is updated daily ... more rows are added. Currently, the cell border is black. I would like to run a macro such that the column header is shaded grey and the borders turn into a shade of gray. I am interested in the 35% grey.
I have 2 columns of figures. One column has a defined name of 'Estimated Value' and the other column 'Actual Value'
My IF statement should simply read "=If(Estimate>Actual,Text color RED, Text Color Black)

I am trying to make a cell change colour based on the partial content of another cell.
For example, cell A4 has a alpha-numeric sequence in it and I want cell B4 to turn blue if part of the sequence is ABD or F&C.
I am looking to change a row colour if any type of data is entered into a specific cell.
Context: In column H entitled 'Start Date' when someone enters a date n any format into this box, I want the whole row to change colour to easily see what projects have started and what ones havent.
I want to change the colour in a cell depending on the sum of two other cells.
ie
A3=1,B3=1
A4=2,B4=1
A5=1,B5=0
A6=2,B6=4
So i want if
A3+B3>2 THEN C3 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
A4+B4>2 THEN C4 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
A5+B5>2 THEN C5 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
A6+B6>2 THEN C6 TO HAVE GREEN COLOUR
SO IN THE END ONLY C4 AND C6 WILL HAVE GREEN COLOUR.
Is there any formula to do so with conditional formatting?

Is this even possible?

I have the below code that changes the colour of a cell to green if the figure increases, and to red if it decreases.
The issue is that it works fine if you manually change the figure in A1 or A2 by entering the figure and hitting enter. If the cell figure changes in A1 by any other means such as RTD or say a value in C1 "=C1" then the colour change is not triggered.

I've seen examples of VBA that will colour autoshapes based on cell values. I have a map of the UK made up of autoshapes that have been edited to create a shape of each postcode area such as EX, GL, NR etc. Also I have a list of all these postcode areas and I have given them a zone number (1-7) depending where in the UK they are.
PcodeZoneDH3DL3DN2DT1DY2E4EC4EH5
At the moment I have set the colours using the fill option so anything that is a particular zone is a certain colour (i.e. zone 2 is green).
What I would like to do is to set a zone to a colour, so the map will update all the zones with the right colours.
I need to be able to read the zone number that is assigned to a postcode area and change the relevant autoshape to the correct colour so that any postcode area can be one of 7 colours.
I can't attach a spreadsheet with my map and postcodes otherwise I would have.
Is there an easy way i can read the zone number of each postcode area in the list and update that autoshapes colour? Would the autshape need to have a name so it know which one to update or is this not possible?
Right I want to change a cell interior colour when another cell value is exceeded. I can do this but what I am after because I have over 56 colums and 390 rows I dont want to do this for each one is there a quicker way ? I have this so far which is for one cell only...

If [E8] > [E10] Then
[E8].Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Selection.Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
Else
[E8].Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Selection.Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
