I want to gradually change th colour in a block of cells. my plan is to use code to sequentially fade through ten or so shades from light to dark. is there a way to slow the code down so that it takes a couple of seconds to run the sequence?
View 2 RepliesHere's a problem I'd like to be able to solve in VBA:
Retrieve the current cell color (let's say A1 = 'green')
Format A1's cell colors (using the VBA equivalent of the 'Format Cells' / 'Fill' / 'Fill Effects' / '2 color Gradient' feature) so that the background cell color (color 2) is set to 'green' with color 1 being set to 'white' with a shading style of "From Center"
I'm using Excel 2010.
I'm trying to create a macro to add a fill effect on the bars of my chart.
However, I don't want it to change the bar's current color. Just to do the effect on the current color.
Code:
Sub fill()
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select
With Selection.Border
.Weight = xlThin
.LineStyle = xlAutomatic
End With

I am attempting to create simple charts to show survey results 2005 v 2006. I have a single series in a bar chart - chart type. The wizard initially makes both bars the same fill color. I right-clicked one of the bars to start the Format Data Series Wizard. On the 5th tab, "Options", I ticked "Vary Colors By Point". A new color was assigned to the top or first bar. So far so good. But instead of these colors, I would like to use a different fill effect for each data point in the series
So I walk through the wizard and desiqn a fill effect and click ok. The fill effect is assigned to both data points. I checked where I had ticked "Vary Colors By Point"
It is still ticked. Can I override this somehow so that each data point can have a unique fill effect?
[url] and after some experimentation i realised that it's not actually as easy as it first appears to show a tooltip window for each item of a DropDown as you hover over the items with the mouse.
even moving and toggling the visible Property at run time of a lbl and/or a textbox and use them to mimic a tooltip didn't help as the latters get overlapped by the dropdown.
Maybe i am just complicating things and am missing an easier solution/workaround !
Anyway here is a workbook example : [url]
and here is the code for future reference:
This Code goes in the UserForm Module:
Option Explicit
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Byte
'poulate cmb and assign it to a global var
With ComboBox1
For i = 1 To 12
.AddItem i
Next
.ListIndex = 0
End With
Set oCmb = Me.ComboBox1
Call CreateStaticCtl
Call SubClassStaticCtl
End Sub
I'm looking for some code to change a cell's fill colour
eg. by selecting an individual cell in a range, say A1, the colour of a cell, say K1, in a corresponding range changes to yellow
or if I select multiple cells, say A1:A9, the colour of cells K1:K9 change to yellow
I have two dates lets call them cells A1 and A2. I then have another cell that caluclates the difference in these dates into a simple number (ie not another date) - A3. I need one of two things.
Ideally I want the whole cell (A3) to appear as a Green (fill) cell if the value is below 5, appear Orange if beween 6 and 9 and appear as red if its 10 or over.
I do not know if you can colour a cell that has a formula in already. So what follows is my current 'work around', which, if you can not colour the A3 cell, then I would need this cell coloured (A4). =IF(D12>7,"Urgent Attention",IF(D12<5,"New",""))
If there is a colour in a cell that I want to use in another cell how can I find what the colour is, and/or copy it to the new location?
Sometimes a colour other than those available as a "standard" colour is used and it is almost impossible to match it by trial and error.
I realise that the Format Painter can be used but I often just want the colour only and not have the rest of my format altered.
I have a spread sheet with various tick boxes, that when ticked calculate an accumulative percentage in a cell. This cell is the basis of my graph. e.g. if the cell displays 80% - the chart with show 80% - simple.
however, I want to write a vba code that changes the fill colour of the chart depending on the percentage.
i.e. if the percentage data = 0-49% I wish the chart to display as red. 50-69% - yellow and 70%+ = green.
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("A1:G40").Interior.ColourIndex = 6299648
I am trying to fill the above range of cells with a colour, but keep getting an error message.
Column A = Dates in ascending order
Im after the code for searching this coloumn for 8 dates i have listed elsewhere and then i would like it to apply rose colour just to the dates in column a.
how do i link with specified dates?
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 38
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End Sub
I have been working on a spreadsheet but I use autoformat for.
For example if the date in the cell matches today's date then it turns the text read and makes it bold.
I was wondering if there was a way to format several cells in a row if a certain criteria was met.
for example
A B C
1 Item Cost Quantity
2 Car £11,520 2
3 Bike £7,500 1
4 Tyres £50 4
Now for example if I set a condition whereas the quatity is greater than 3 then it would highlight the whole row.
So in the example above I would like to to highlight row 4 and Fill colour cells A4,B4 & C4 with a yellow background and Red Text and make the texted bold.
I'm recording a macro, so a line in my graph is a specific green. The marker fill won't retain the green, it always ends up blue. the lines and marker line is green. no matter what color I try the marker fill will always be blue. How to correct this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to fill 2 other cells with varying colours dependant on what is chosen within another cell.
I have a drop-down list in cell A2 to select either ON SITE, ACTIVE or CANCEL.
What I need then basically is...
if A2 equals 'ON SITE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) GREEN
if A2 equals 'ACTIVE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) YELLOW
if A2 equals 'CANCEL' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) RED

I have a calendar set up with dates going along P6:CU6. Column C9:C27 has various status' for the job such as "Complete" or "In Progress" etc. Next to that in rows D and E I have start and end dates for the job. What I am trying to do is change the fill colour of the empty cells that are in line with each job, so that between the correct dates they are the corresponding colour to the status. So a complete job on row 9 that started on 26/05/14 and finished on 28/05/14 would have three green cells along Q9, R9, and S9.
I have tried an IF/AND/OR statement which looks like this:
=IF(AND(Q6>=D9,Q6<=E9),OR(IF(C9="Planned","P",""),IF(C9="In Progress","IP",""),IF(C9="Late","L",""),IF(C9="Complete","C","")),"")
I am getting a #VALUE! data type error, I have tried reformatting the cells to various date formats but no luck so far. This could be because my dates are set up as =P6+1 etc. but I am not sure. The error only occurs when the cell falls within the dates, otherwise it remains blank.
I intend to hide the value in the cell and use conditional formatting to change the cell colour based on the hidden input.
Once this is working I also need to take weekends into account, column G has any 2 value combination of Y and N to say whether the employee is working Saturday, Sunday or both. Row 7 has a "1" value underneath every Saturday and a "2" underneath every Sunday. I can imagine how this would work but combining it with the above formula could be complicated.
if I have one cell that ive enlarged to half the sheet.... and it is effected with rollover hyperlink so that when I hover over other cells. it turns different colours..
is it possible to make that cell open up different files using the double click event depending on the colour it currently is?
i.e. if its blue, open file1. if its yellow, open file 2 etc
i have an excel file which contains data, I want to be able to search this file and to fill the cell and its next 3 cells to the right with a certain colour. Is this possible as I have wrote some vba to do this but, Im only able to search and not fill the cells with the correct colour.
way to highlight selected cells if one of the selected cells equals a certain value eg
A B C D E
1 X X X Y X
2 X X X X X
3 X X X Y X
I select cells A1-E3 and if column D = "Y" then colour fill the row from A to E
I have a table:......
I want to colour in the relevant cells for each ref depending on the numbers in the stage column. So for the first line, the cells in columns 1,2,4&6 need to be shaded in. For the second line, the cells in columns 1,2,3,4,&5 need to be shaded in. I already have a lot of conditional formatting set on the sheet so need to do this with a macro.
I have tried to write something but am having issues with it finding the 1 and shading in the correct column but then jumping out of the loop and on to the next cell.
I would like to produce a carousel effect. i will start with a basic example and then explain the complications.
Basically I have a range of cells of indeterminant length. The left column is numbered vertically - let's say 1,2,3,4,5,6. I would like to be able to generate a carousel effect so that if I right click on a number all the cells below move down and the number at the bottom fills the gap so that if I right click on 1 the cells would become 6,1,2,3,4,5 or if I right click on 3 the cells would become 1,2,6,3,4,5.
The complication is that there will be more than one of each number eg 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6. (there will allways be the same number of each) so I would want the whole block to move down and the ones at the bottom to come up and fill the gap.
The other slight complication is that the range of cells is 5 columns wide so I would want the whole block of cells to carousel.
I would like it to loop through all the charts on the "Graphs" sheet.
It works well but gives a "Run-time error '1004'" Application-defined or object-defined error afterward that I would like to get rid off.
VB:
Sub Colour_Chart_working()
Dim rngColors As Range
Dim rngCell As Range

Is it possible to search Excel by cell colour, i.e. font colour...and then change the said colour to another one?

You invested 10.000 Dollar in the year 1985 into a tempelton fund and waited 20 years. Result can be seen at many forums and stock plattforms
Example number 2:
In 1985 you had no 10.000 Dollar, but only 100 Dollar a month. You invested this 100 Dollar each month for 20 years.
How big will the difference be between example 1 and 2 ?
*** Background.
If a "share" will cost 100 Dollar, you will get 1 share for 100 Dollar. Next month share is down to 50 Dollar, you will get 2 shares for your monthly 100 Dollar. Next month share is up at 200 Dollar, you will get only a half share for your 100 Dollar. Its called cost average effect.
Tool should allow "play arround", to simulate various scenarios, talking into account growth rate, time period, monthly investment, fluctuation of a theoretical share. Idealy we would love to " import" e.g. famous fund history (eg. Tempelton, Pioneer) etc. to see how investment would have developed when a steady monthly payment would have been made.
A column of cells can be 1o different shades of green according to their value (achieved by using conditional formatting.) I want to arrange that at a certain time all the cells of a part of the row of a formatted cell are the same colour.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am making an excel sheet which can track the hypothetical effect building an order has on current inventory. The user is to change the quantities in this hypothetical order whenever they want.
It is composed of two sheets, the inventory sheet and the model sheet. The inventory sheet has the costs of every part carried and how many are currently in stock. The model sheet has a breakdown of what parts are required to build the different models.
I am looking for a function or VBA which can take a hypothetical order (build xx of model one + build xx of model two + build xx of model three), see how many total parts are needed, then calculate and display the effect it has on current inventory. This is only to see the hypothetical effect on inventory, not to actually change the inventory in the inventory sheet.
I've attached what I have so far - most everything is completed except for this final calculation. I have tried using the VLOOKUP function in VBA to try and come up with a solution but I couldn't figure out the best way to go about this. I think the hardest part might be that a hypothetical order can be made up of all three models.
I have set up a spread sheet which uses tick boxes and I have calculated it all up so that the percentage of ticks ticked is displayed in a cell etc. and when I link that data to a bar chart it works perfectly. .e.g as I tick the boxes the bar chart increases
BUT when I try to do the exact same thing with a pie chart it doesn't work.
Not sure what formula to use for this set-up:
Col1 - Name_Last
Col2 - Name_First
Col3 - Ref_Name
The desired effect is under column 3, you have "Name_First Name_Last". Attached sample file.
