View 9 RepliesI have this code that colors the lines in my Line Chart
Sub ColorLines()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set chrt = ActiveChart
'Here you want to put your own graph
vals = chrt.SeriesCollection(1).Values
'These are the values to determine later whether the line moves up or down. In this example, I just colored 1 seriescollection (= one line in your line graph), with an extra loop you'd do all lines.
It is very simple: When the lines goes up they turn black. When they go down they turn red.
The code work, but only if all cell in the series is filled. If one cells is blank the code error. I'm using #NA() in all cells that are blank, so the chart skip that cell and continue from the next cell's value.
I'm making excel macros for the first time and getting things figured
out, but I have a few questions:
What code do I use to delete columns that have all empty cells EXCEPT
the top cell (row 1) that contains any of a number of headings? I need
to insert this into an existing macro.
What code do I use to fill color every other row (preferably even numbered)
light grey after selecting a "currentregion" ? Again, to put inside an
existing macro.
A related question: When I find code help on the web, it usually
starts with "sub" and ends with "end sub" so how do I insert that into
an existing macro? It looks like a "sub within a sub" doesn't work.
I have only recently started playing around with macros, and am slowly getting into them. I do however still struggle a bit to ‘read’ them. Having played with formulas for years I can generally translate a string of formula text into English, like ‘if this cell value is greater than that cell value, then do this, if it is not then if it is equal to that cell value, do that, if not return 0’. Babbling like a child basically.
With visual basic I have managed to record some handy macros and then tweak them a little manually but I am still struggling to follow it going through it step by step reading it like a formula. So I hope you won’t mind me asking some very stupid questions. I mean well; I’m just a bit slow.
At present I am trying to do two different things on two different sheets, and I was wondering if perhaps one of you could nudge me in the right direction.
1:
I am trying to insert a blank row above every row that has a certain word in column B.
So basically ‘find value “Example” in column B, and when you find it, insert an entirely blank row directly above it’.
2:
Is a bit more challenging. I want to change the colour of a cell if the value in the cell corresponds with the value of another cell in the same column.
For example, I have a long list of surnames in column A. When I add ‘McNeil’ at the bottom, I would like to be able to run a macro that checks if the name McNeil appears anywhere else in column A, and if it does, that it changes the colour of the cell.
Preferably both of the cells that say McNeil, but one would do very nicely indeed.
If that is possible, I wonder if it is possible to do the same with the first name in column B, but only if there was a match for the surname in column A on the same row. So, if McNeil does not appear in column A, don’t bother, but if it does, does the corresponding first name appear in column B?
If both of that is possible, the next step would obviously be if McNeil appears in column A (say twice, once in A123 and once in A678), do cells B123 and B678 match as well?
If I respond to a post and want to delete what I posted how can I do that? i can edit but don't see a way to delete what i posted...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm a Marine Officer in Iraq and one of my reports requires me to determine how many days have elapsed since the last time one of my helicopters has flown. We utilize Julian Dates to refer to aircraft fly dates and one of my reporting requirements is to note any aircraft that haven't flown in 30 or more days. Essentially, I want to count how many aircraft haven't flown within the last 30 days. Cell D4 has my current Julian Date (let's say 07070). I have a cell range of D7 through D22 that lists all of the last days that my aircraft have flown. I would like to have a formula that counts the long term down aircraft. I tried something similar to this:
=countif(sum(d4-(d7:d22))>29)
I have a workbook which is used to merge new customers data into letters and then monitor the progress of the job through to closure. I have a worksheet (New Jobs) where new jobs are entered which acts as the db for the word document and have assigned a macro that appends all new jobs to the monitoring worksheet (WO Open). I have 10 cells in WO Open worksheet to the right of the new data that I need to populate with formulas.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to determine how to indicate which month an adjustment will post to an invoice.
Column A= billing cycle date
Column B= Market
Column C= Adjustment Approved Date
Column D= Adjustment Amount
Column E = Which invoice will credit post to:
So I'm trying to build a formula in Column E that will look at the cycle date in Column A compared to the Adjustment approved date in Column C and then kick out which invoice the adjustment will appear on. The values in Column E were placed mannually to show what I'm trying to accomplish. if the adjustment approved date is = to a cycle date it will show up on the same invoice. ie if approved on the 1st and the cycle date is the 1st the invoice will reflect the approved adjustment.

How to filter the pivot table in the attachment by the Posted date. I only want to look at the data for dates within 30 days of today, and can't figure out how to do that manually, much less programatically. The attachement is a small sample of a huge report I receive; all I get is the pivot, which contains tons of information. I filter it down by my various criteria, but that's still hundreds of thousands of lines. Limiting to the last 30 days can make a huge difference, but I can't find the trick to it.

I'm trying to create a worksheet to automatically make a football league table update once results are entered. I have entered a formula using the "IF" function which compares scores and then awards points. However before a game is played and the cells are left blank, the formula detects this as a "draw" and awards a point. how to prevent the formula operating until a result is entered?

trying to do is when the input in a Cell becomes zero then I want that the cell becomes for example Red.
I'm not using macro's just formulas.
Is it possible to create UDF for Interior color of cell?
For instance, =Color(A1;3)
3 is the index of red color.
Is it possible to set a formula or something up so that if a row contains certain information, then the row will turn a certain color? For instance, if cell B2 contain the number "3" and cell B5 contains the number "5", then row B will turn yellow. Then if cell C2 contains the number "4" and cell C5 contains the number "7", row C will turn blue. This is just an example. In this example, I'd like a formula all the way down column's 2 and 5, but only the rows would change color (not columns) according to their information.

I have created a stack column chart.
In that chart I want certain makes to have certain colors like BMW = blue, Audi = yellow, Mercedes = black, Fiat = green, Honda = red and Peugeot = purple
When I update the Pivot with a new month and a make changes position the colors go wrong.
I would like to create a script that fixes the makers to their colors, so that after an update I can just run the script and am done .
Unfortunately I do not really know how to work with VBA (I can just steal macros and modify them a bit to my needs or use the recorder).

I need to coloring percentage values in excel 2000. What I would like to do is have percentages greater than zero shown in green, while negative values are red, and zero values are black. I currently have the custom formatting so negative values are red and all others are black, but I cant' seem to find a way to change it so greater than zero numbers are green and zeros are black. All I can do is chang positive and zero at the same time. Here is what I currently have:

View 5 Replies View RelatedWith a range of cells (a1:ao41) I want to color several cells depending on the value of that particular cell and another color when that particular and a corresponding cell have both the same value. It's some sort of sociogram The first row and column both contains names of students. Let say the students have to choose the three most populair ones to work with and the three most unpopulair ones. Positive ones get the color blue, negative ones get the color yellow. That's easy to do with conditional formatting. But now comes the tricky part. If for instance Student 3 chooses Student 7 and Student 7 chooses Student 3 the color of both cells have to be green if both positive and red if both negative. That's also do-able with conditional formatting, but it most be much easier to do with VBA. I just don't know how .

I am wondering if it is possible to use the Conditional formatting to color a row when a specific cell has a value ( Number or text etc..)
I have values in cells A1,B1 & C1
If I enter a value in D1 , I would like to have A1,B1,C1 & D1 colored green
Is it possible to define a rule for this?
I had an report and the rows of the report needs to be colored based on another cell value. My layout looks like this:
A1B1C1D1AVG
1011121330
14151617100
18192021400
For each cell, i need to compare the value of cell with that value in AVG coloumn and if condition is met, cell should be colored. Eg : If first cell value under A1 is Less than 0.2 * AVG of first row then color of the cell A2 should be red. After coloring the entire rows, then i should check and color the header row based on the color of Rows.
I tried first one, i,e coloring the rows based on conditional formatting and then written VB code to compare the color of rows and colored the header row. But the color index used in conditional formatting and the code are mismatching and the desired output is not coming.So decided to write code for coloring the rows cell.

So coloring 2 cells horizontically (the value of (A1) and 3 cells Vertically (value of (B1)
I am been trying to do a drop down only with coloring in Excel 2007, need not want any text to be the drop down list instead need a color specific drop down list, so that i could type a free text in drop down, which would enable to identify the content through coloring.

I have an API, which inputs real-time stock data into an excel book. Does anyone know how to make the Last Price cell change coloer (Greem=up, Red=donw) depending on whether the price moves up or down, relative to the last price?
ie, over the course of a minute a stock may price at 35.00 => 35.01 (cell turns green) => 35.00 (cell goes red) => 34.95 (cell stays red) => 34.97 (cell goes green).
VBA, conditional formatting, or any other means of doing this is perfectly acceptable.

and different data will be red).
2. How to count the word in the cell (sample CELL1: after
count will become 6 words)
