I'm working on a report that uses part numbers in column J, starting in J6. I'd like to highlight the entire row if a certain p/n from a lookup table is in J. (the table is in the sheet "Testers" from A2 to A42 and the relevant p/n's are in column "A") I went to cond format and in use a formula to determine formatting I entered:
=vlookup($J6,Testers!$A$2:$A$42,1,0)
And then selected a fill format but whan I apply it does not work. I tinkered with the $ to ensure it jumps to the next row but stays in the column but I cannot get this to take.
i want to compare between these two table based on the condition writen in RED. IF there is a mismatch i want to highlight the values in the first table.
The first half of the vlookup searches for data and returns a dollar amount if true The second half of the vlookup searches for another data set and returns a dollar amount if true...
Both amounts could be the same, so I cant use a formula based on numeric value
the conditional format must determine which vlookup is returning the result
in other words I'd like to conditionally format (grey fill) if the first vlookup returns data and conditionally format (blue fill) if the second vlookup returns data
Probably have to "use a formula to determine which cells to format"
A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.
Is it possible to change the format of cell AI3 based on the format of cell C3 and D3? I have C3 and D3 set to turn red based on what is in cell C2 and D2. I would like the following done:
If AI3=C3 & C3 is red, format AI3 blue If AI3=D3 & D3 is red, format AI3 blue Otherwise, leave AI3 unformatted.
Is there "code" for different formatting in a spreadsheet so you can use an IF statement to do something like:
if(A1=blue background,"Yes","No")
or
if(A1=red text,"Yes","No")
etc.?? But replace "blue background" and "red text" with some sort of number code? I want to compile a list of the items that are formatted with certain background colors and/or text colors and then organize only those items into a chart.
Any VBA that I can put into a macro that will convert conditional formatting into fixed formatting..? So when the cell contents/formulas are deleted the formatting remains. Assume that the range I want to convert is A1:D200...
I need to run a loop through a column of values (attachment col B) and when it finds a "J" it will apply conditional formatting to a row of 4 cells directly adjacent. The attachment is a theoretical before & after.
I have 2 spreadsheets with SSN's in different formats. One has xxx-xx-xxxx the other has xxxxxxxxx. The cell format is set to "special" / SSN in both spreadsheets. However when you look at the data in a given cell one has dashes separating the numbers and the other does not. I have Trimmed the spaces off both sets of values with no success. I tried to strip out the dashes and concatenate it back together as well. When I sort the values numerically I can see that there are matches.
I have a hard time when it comes to "If then" statements and conditional formatting. I have some data that I am collecting and entering into a spreadsheet for a couple different companies. Once I receive paperwork from those companies for the data collected I mark the data with a blue colored text. I would like to have a second sheet that generates what companies have not sent me their paperwork. "If the data is black text, then generate <name of company> on second sheet." The list is small right now, but as the project continues it will grow very large and it will become difficult to track. I will attach a copy of the spreadsheet for you to see the situation. I would like to learn how to do these types of formulas, is there a tutorial geared towards these types of situations?
Must admit the R1C1 still confuses me, but somehow I have this working. Currently the RC4 displays in conditional format as $D8 and the RC4 as $C8, but I'm confused at how it knows to start at R8? Is there any way to make the formulas read ="=$D8=""No""" instead?
I have two spreadsheet "book1" with data in it, "book2" that takes all the information from "book1" the cells are linked in "book2" from "book1" so when someone updates "book1" the information is viewable in "book2"
In "book2" where I am getting stuck is as follows,
Column A contains data "break time" that is formatted in HH:MM:SS column B contains a "total duration" in HH:MM:SS. what I need to do is if column A data is = to or more than 4% of column B then I want to turn the cell in column A "red" if it is less then turn it "green". I have tried conditional formatting and it appears to work the once only, I dont no if this is because its 2003 and not 2007??
What I need is to repeat the conditional format over and over again forever is there any code for this I can use?
I have used conditional formatting various ways to format an individual cell. I was wondering does anyone know if it is possible to conditionally format a row? Eaxmple: If D7=Manager, then format A7 through Z7. If so, how would I go about setting that up?
I'm wanting to create a formula in column B that will return a value of 10 if column A is any value between 70% -100%, will return a value of 5 if column A is any value between 50% - 69%, and will return a value of 1 if column A is any value between 1% - 49%. Can you help me?
I want to do an if (I think I do??) command so that if a1=b1, then the cell turns blue and if a1=0, the cell turns red, with the false statement just being blank.
I have my formulas in place and they are working. The reason why some are coming up with #DIV/0 is because I do not have the data to complete the calculation.
Is there a way to make the #DIV/0 error go away until I imput the data to complete the calculation? I was thinking there might be a way to do it with conditional formatting.
Sub Macro1() With Range("A1") .FormatConditions.Delete .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=A1=B1" .FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=A1B1" .FormatConditions(2).Interior.ColorIndex = 50 .AutoFill Destination:=Range("A1:A29"), Type:=xlFillDefault End With End Sub
If my active cell is NOT A1, the formula entered into conditional formatting is off. The range references get all messed up. For example, if my active cell is Say D5
Condition 1 is =IT65533=IU65533 Condition 2 is =IT65533IU65533
But if I run the code with A1 as my active cell, it gets entered correctly as Condition 1 =A1=B1 Condition 2 =A1B1
I would like to add conditional formatting for the whole row based on whether the value of cells in column A is "CON".
For Each c In r If c.Value = "CON" Then c.EntireRow.FormatConditions.Delete c.EntireRow.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=c.Address = "OK" c.EntireRow.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 35 end if next c the "CON" is a formula and can later take the value "OK".
The conditional formatting should highlight the whole row as green when that happens.
I am not sure if this requires conditional formatting/vba function
If I enter something in cell A1 and leave blank in cell c1, in cell c1 it should print the message "Required Entry, Please Fill up". and this condition should be applied to entire column, where ever in column A there is some values and column c is empty this condition should apply.
I don’t know if it is possible in Excel 2000 but I have a simple IF formula in a cell that gives "" on certain conditions.The problem I have is that in another cell I apply conditional formatting – green >100%, red<100% e.g.
Is it possible to have a third conditional format that gives a blank if the cell is ""?
At the moment it just turns out green as it doesn’t seem to recognise the cell as actually been blank as it has a formula within it.I have tried ISBLANK etc.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim icolor As Integer Dim cr As Date cr = Today() If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C5:M44")) Is Nothing Then Select Case Target Case "X" icolor = 10 Case "N/A" icolor = 2 Case cr.Value >= Today() icolor = 6 Case cr.Value <= Today() icolor = 3 Case "DATE?" icolor = 8 Case Else icolor = 2 End Select Target.Interior.ColorIndex = icolor End If
I've written a macro that copies a range of cells (size varies) from Sheet1 to Sheet2, deletes the conditional formatting already there, and applies fresh conditional formatting to Sheet2 on the new range. But, the expression in the FormatConditions is way different than what I specified in the code. Here's my Conditional Formatting
Set mt1 = tData.Columns(1). Find(What:="", After:=tData.Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues) tData.Range("A2:A" & mt1.Row - 1).FormatConditions.Delete With tData.Range("A2:A3" & mt1.Row - 1).FormatConditions _ .Add(xlExpression, , "=A2=A1") .Font.ColorIndex = 2 End With
When I look in cell A2, I see this for the expression: "=A65301=A65300". Any idea why it isn't starting with "=A2=A1" as I specified in the code?
I'm having trouble comparing two lists of clients with vlookup. The problem seems to be that the dates are in two separate formats. I'm combining the information to create unique identifiers (=A1&B1&C1).
I am trying to create a macro (which will go in an add-in, using Excel 2007) which will apply a custom format to any selected cells which have their formulae hidden (Format Cells, Protection, Hidden). A similar macro works fine for locked cells.
Here is the UDF I wrote, which returns True/False based on the Hidden status of a cell:
VB: Public Function Hidden(Check_Cell As Range) Hidden = Check_Cell.FormulaHidden = True End Function
[Code]....
just place all three pieces of code into a module, and change the first line of the two macros to a standard "Sub Macro1()" type format.
I have a challenge, which i have attached a spreadsheet. It's probably easier if you look at the spreadsheet, rather than me trying to explain. I've added some notes for reference.
I've tried to use an IF/vlookup function but I cant seem to make it work.
