Conditional Formatting: OFFSET Function To Define A Range Inside A SUM Function
Apr 13, 2007In Mr Excel's Pod Cast on April 12th, he showed how to use the OFFSET function to define a range inside a SUM function. Then he had Conditional Formatting that would highlight the range that was being summed. Can anyone tell me what the formula would be inside the Conditional Formatting dialog box to get the OFFSET range to have a certain format?

Formatting A Number Field To Hold A Specific Number Of Digits
Feb 12, 2009I wrote an excel program in Excel'03 for a dental office to manage state assistance patients and one of the table columns is the state assistance number. The problem is that the program defaults to a number format when it is entered instead of a text format, which is what I want. The issue is that state assistance numbers are always 8 digits and when it defaults to a number field the program drops the required preceeding zeros.
For example the number 00123456 will sometimes show up as 123456, which is wrong. It's like sometimes it will show up right and other times it gets a butterfly in its brain and deletes those zeros irritating the receptionist here. So, how do I get the table to either stay in text format or set up a number format that keeps the preceeding zeros?
Number Formatting: Enter A Number It Seems To Divide It By 100
Nov 28, 2008I having a bit of trouble entering numbers in Excel, every time I try to enter a number it seems to divide it by 100. For example : - 1 entered in to a cell becomes 0.01, 100 becomes 1....etc. I've tried formatting the cells and had no luck, tried Tool>Options but not sure where to look.

Conditional Formatting (max If Function)
Feb 8, 2014I would like to use conditional formatting to highlight the max value if the constraints are not violated.
For example,
Row 91 - Profit
Row 94 - Constraint A (750<=A<=855)
Row 95 - Constraint B (12<=B<=17)
So, I tried to type this in conditional formatting but it didn't work ><
=MAX(IF(AND(B94>=750,B94<=855,B95>=12,B95<=17),$B$91:$Q$91,0))
Can We Do OR Function In Conditional Formatting?
Dec 14, 2009Is it possible to use OR function in Conditional Formatting? I want to do the following.
If A1 = 1, A2 cell is filled in Red
If A1 = 2, A2 cell is filled in Red
If A1 = 3, A2 cell is filled in Green,
If A1 = 4, A2 cell is filled in Green,
I only managed to do the above for 3 conditions as Conditional Formatting only allows me to no more than 3.
How To Use Between Operator In AND Function While Doing Conditional Formatting
Oct 5, 2013I have three columns named "Type" , "start_date" and "end_date".
Type column can hold only "A","B" and "C".
start_date and end_date columns are time stamps. ex: 9/14/13 9:35 AM
I want to do conditional formatting like,
If type = "A" and (end_date - start_date) value between 30 and 40 (in hrs) then it should be amber.
I did for greater than and lesser than values, but I am facing problem while doing the above one.

View 9 Replies View RelatedConditional Formatting On MATCH / LOOKUP Function?
Mar 6, 2012I have an "actual build" worksheet, which allows the user to select which materials were used, material properties (e.g. material grade etc.), including its corresponding length. The user can enter all these in manually, or select the material name from a pre-defined list (Reference worksheet contains this information), and then the associated properties are automatic lookups from the Reference worksheet.
So all this is fine / completed, and the LOOKUP returns its theoretical length from the reference table. However, its actual material lengths will almost never match the theoretical length, so what I want to happen is for a conditional format to highlight the cell, to notify the user that they need to enter a manual value. The auto-looked up length is still useful a proposed build on the worksheet, but having it highlighted to ensure it is manually entered later is the objective.
The other thing is it can't just check if it's a formula, it has to check if it is a formula with a MATCH/LOOKUP function. E.g. it needs to be unhighlighted if someone has a basic formula, ie = 2*0.42 if there two of the item etc..
Hence, I was thinking of having a conditional formula that "format only cells that contain" and then format only cells with "specific text" and "containing" and "MATCH(" text function, however this doesn't seem to work.
Length cell formula:
=OFFSET('Reference- Materials'!$N$5, MATCH($BO32, Materials_Item_Number, 0), 0) * $AH32

Jun 17, 2008I have an excel spreadsheet, that is 11,000 lines (give or take) and in column A, I have a sequence of numbers on every line set up like this:
11-22-333-44W5
What I want to do is add the number "100/" to the begining of every number sequence. If I have to manually add it, I have to go down 11,000 Lines and add it to every line, is there a way to just tell excel to add the number "100/" and down fill it for everyline - end result will look like:
100/11-22-333-44W5
Excel 2010 :: Replicate Conditional Formatting Using A User VBA Function?
May 6, 2014Using Excel 2010.
The background to this question is that I'm trying to replicate conditional formatting using a user VBA function, because I require a thick border around the cells (and the conditional formatting within Excel only has thin borders)
In the final function, there will be 9 combinations of formatting {Red, Amber, Green} interior with {Red, Amber, Green} thick borders.
The formatting is determined by a number in another cell (the "target" cell), which returns a value 0,...,8
I've only got as far as filling in the interior for the first combination, but the function returns an error "Application-defined or object-defined error".
VB:
Function VBA000_003_SetRAG(strTargetRange As String) 'strTargetRange is the reference for the target cell that contains the value 0,...,8
On Error Goto handler [code]....
There is not a problem with the target range, if I remove the two lines relating to rngCaller then the function works OKExecuting the rngCaller.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) command through the Immediates window works OKI've tried calling a subroutine & passing the range across
Same errorChanging the range in the subroutine to an absolute range (eg. Sheet1.range("A1")) also causes the
same errorExecuting the subroutine on its own (with the absolute range) works OK
So my guess is that it's a bug/limitation with Excel VBA when trying to execute commands from inside a user function
Macro Fill Down Function Is Changing Format In Conditional Formatting
Dec 18, 2013When I hit the macro code you see below I get both columns D and E, starting from row 18, to get 'filled down' to the specified spot. Every second row has a conditional format (when a value is entered in column A) to change the row to the color grey, and every row between it has a conditional format (when any value is entered in column A as well) to have the row changed to the color red. The issue here is that the Macro code messes up the conditional formatting and uses the conditional formatting of those two cells, which are being dragged down, for those entire filled-down columns! This is what I am starting off with test1.xlsm and this is what I end up with using the macro code below (or doing it manually)
test2.xlsm
Is there a way for the Macro code to bypass this issue?
Number Formatting: Display Cells As A Number Like "00 41 55.0"
May 31, 2009I have two columns of cells that need to be reformatted: B and C. In the B column excel is reading the cells as time (0:41:55.0), I need it to display those cells as a number like this: 00 41 55.0. In column C the cells look like this: 41 : 09 : 47.3. I need the C column cells to look just like the formatted B column cells (41 09 47.3) Also, even though they have the spaces, the numbers should be read by excel as one whole number (i.e. 41 09 47.3 would be used in a calculation as 410947.3)

Formatting A Number Within A Sentence
Jun 19, 2009Is there a way to format a number within a sentence? i.e.
In cell A1 I have 2,000 entered and formatted as a number. In cell A2 I type in ="How can I format "&A1&" ?"
When I do this, the result in A2 is How can I format 2000?
Is there a way to format the 2000 to show the thousand separator comma? If the number were -2,000 instead, is there a way to show both the comma and parentheses around the number? (without putting the parentheses manually into the formula)?
Percentage Number Formatting
Feb 21, 2013I am trying to figure out why my number will not format correctly... I have a number thats value is pulled in via external data that gets updated everyday.
Everything works fine there, but I needed the format of that number that was pulled in to have parenthesis around it...
I know that one can add the parenthesis to the number by using the ="("&(Number)&")" function...
What the problem is is that when I add the parenthesis to the number it will not allow me to view it as a percentage; it will leave it as a full general number (Ex. (0.0006), instead of (0.06%)
Is there a way to get the percentage number format back?

Number Formatting Comments
Dec 19, 2006Sub CommentThem()
Dim cell As Range
On Error Resume Next
Selection.ClearComments
On Error GoTo 0
For Each cell In Intersect(Selection, ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
If cell.Formula "" Then
cell.AddComment
cell.Comment.Visible = False
On Error Resume Next 'fails on invalid formula
cell.Comment.Text Text:=" Days: " & cell.Value & Chr(10)
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Next cell
End Sub
I am using this formula to extract the [h]:mm value from a cell and place it into the cell comments. The current result gives me a result of Days: 3.9339797008547 for a cell with the value of 94:24. Is there anyway to change this to only 2 decimal places (3.93) without changing the initial cell value.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFormatting The Highest Number In A Row
Jul 22, 2008I have a few rows in an excel sheet and I want to highlight the highest number(s) in each row.
I've been playing around with conditional formatting, and using the formula:
=$C23=MAX($C$23:$C$55)
in the conditional formatting box and selecting a formatting type, I can automatically highlight the highest number in column C (row 23 to 55). However, this formula only seems to work when I'm selecting columns of data rather than rows. If I want to highlight the highest number in row 23, the formula I'm using is:
=$C23=MAX($C$23:$M$23)
Which I think should highlight the highest number From C23 to M23, but it doesn't - nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Formatting From The Second Occurrence Of A Number
Dec 2, 2008I have an worksheet where I use sequential numbers in column B but it often happens that we insert some more rows with the same number in the B column.
Ex.:
01
02
03
04
04
04
04
05
06
06
Now we would like to have a macro that will format the text color (change to white) in columns B & D as soon as there is a second (or more) occurrence(s) of the same preceding number.
Ex.:
01 – Black (unchanged)
02 – Black (unchanged)
03 – Black (unchanged)
04 – Black (unchanged)
04 – White (changed)
04 – White (changed)
04 – White (changed)
05 – Black (unchanged)
06 – Black (unchanged)
06 – White (changed)
