Just wondering if it is possible to put a check box with a macro say in cell C3 that when you tick the box it changes it to green as completed, but after a set time say 2 weeks the check box clears itself and changes the colour to red to highlight that its due again. Also when you tick the check box it inserts a date in another cell say D4 when it was ticked.
Reason for this is am trying to make a spread sheet with different products that require different testing frequency, some monthly some weekly and some fortnightly. At the moment we are just using a white board and staff just tick task completed problem is they need to check when last done especially when test required is of every 2 weeks and people forget.
If I make a spread sheet and it highlights the check box in red like I want to above at least it will give them a visual reminder that it is due.
I have this bit of code that highlights every other row. I would like to modify it so that it doesn't highlight the entire rows but instead stops at the column of whichever cell contains data.
For instance if I’m using a block of cells such as A1 to C5 it would highlight A2-B2-C2 & A4-B4-C4 only. Later on if I insert data in D3 it would now highlight A2-B2-C2-D2 & A4-B4-C4-D4. Anytime that data would be inserted into a new column all row highlight would now adapt to the new length of the table.
Here’s the Sub ShadeEverySecondRow() Dim lRow As Long lRow = 0 Do lRow = lRow + 2 If IsEmpty(Cells(lRow, 1)) Then Exit Do Rows(lRow).Interior.ColorIndex = 15 Loop End Sub
In excel sheet some times I highlight Cells, Rows or Columns for references but while printing these highlights get printed. is there any formatting tip so that only values are printed but highlights don't get printed (not even in grey scale).
Is there a way to pause a macro while it is running? For example:
COL A COL B 1 2 b 4 5 5
My current macro highlights all characters in this case b. Is there a way to make it stop when it highlights b, and make it continue running when I want? I'm using a Form for this purpose.
I've seen a spreadsheet where the user can click on a cell, and the row the cell is in automatically highlights.
This is useful where there is a lot of columns, and it also looks pretty snazzy!
How do I do this? I know one way is to put the following code in when you right click the sheet tab and choose "view code":
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) UsedRange.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 End Sub
But then I can't have nice background colours for other cells. Any suggestions?
btw, I've v. new to VBA - best to assume I know nothing!
attached is the sheet u have prepared for me but there is a problem in this sheet that it highlights only the first value in a cell however my requirement is to highlight the every value in a cell if matching with the search criteria.
I must be hitting a key by accident sometimes which makes Excel highlight the cells immediately below the ones I want as well. So, if I click in the middle of cell A1, it also highlights A2, A3 and sometimes A4 even though I haven't dragged down over them.
Why is this? I can't work out how to stop it doing it. Some previously recommended hitting F8 but this doesn't seem to stop it.
I have a two way data table for which the two variables are changed frequently. In the data table, for ease of reference, i usually highlight the corresponding row and column of the two most current variables the intersection of which gives you the current output. But these highlights need to eb changed each time the variables are changed 9the table is copied onto another document for presentation hence the need to keep changing the highlights).
I was thinking of configuring the highlighting process to happen dynamically, i.e. the row and column highlights change dynamically when the variables are changed.
Trying to use VBA to prevent users from sending a form unless all fields have been completed, then highlight blank cells, and send a pop-up message that all cells in myRange need to be filled out. Otherwise, send the worksheet.
My code will highlight the blank cells, but it only highlights one cell at a time and then I have to click on the pop-up message for it to highlight the next one, and then the email still goes out.
How can I fix this to highlight all the blank cells at once, with only one pop-up message, and prevent the email from going out?

I'm looking for a formula to use with conditional formatting that highlights cells if any of more than 3 conditions is met. I saw it on this forum before, but I can't find it with a search. It was something like =or(condition1),or(condition2), etc.
I have a spreadsheet with conditional formatting that highlights my data range in a row red when their is no data entered in cell (E2) with this formula =COUNTIF($E2,"")>0 Now my question is...How can I make the highlighting go away if I enter information into cell (C2)? I added another condtion that said =COUNTIF($C2,"")
I occasionally give presentations with Excel and would like to make it easier for the audience to see a particular cell when I move to it. The cursor can be tiny, and some people have a hard time seeing the cursor, so I use the keyboard to navigate to the cells I talk about. Yet, the cell, which then has a border around it, still can be hard to see.
Is there a way in Excel to have a cell that is highlighted, that is I move to a cell with the keyboard, so that it pops out in a different font color or background or format, when I move to it, and it automatically reverts to its usual format and color when I move away from it?
I have a matrix with numbers that each cell is composed by a function of two parameters (two columns). The formula is
"=COUNTIFS(T2:T99,"15",V2:V99,"14")",
So it's counts when in one cell column I receive 15 and in the other 14. For instance, I receive the number 3 - so I have three rows that match (the first column with 15 and the second with 14).
I want, when I select the cell from the matrix (table) with the number 3 (that I receive from the formula) it will highlight the relevant rows..
code which highlights a cell depending on the criteria of another cell.
Example.
In B1 I have the formula =NOW() (we all now what this means).
In B2 I have a completion date.
I would like A2 to fill with a specified colour.
Can this be done so that it works down the whole sheet, if the date is in B5 then only A5 will highlight so basically only the A cell on the same row will change depending on the date in B on the corresponding row?
My company uses 4 types of barcodes 8, 12, 13, & 14 number barcodes for our products my problem is that I can't figure out how to force the barcode to format properly no matter how somebody enters it if they don't use spaces or put them in the wrong spots, I can't use custom formats because there is 4 different layouts
8 digit should be "#### ####" 12 digit should be "###### ######" 13 digit should be "# ###### ######" 14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"
these barcodes are in columns L, M, & N also right now 'm using a formula in another cell to verify the barcodes by calculating the check digit and comparing it to the check digit typed the formula i'm using is
I have data in Row 53 that spans 7 columns, but stays in the same row. I want to design a loop to select every 7th cell in that row and check if it is empty. If not, add onto a "counter" then display the final number of occupied cells (the value of the counter) at the end. This is what I have so far, but I get all sorts of errors.
Code: Sub Tester()
Dim WB As Workbook Dim WS As Worksheets Dim modCounter As Long Dim Cell As Range
Set WB = Workbook("Transverse Series.xlsm") Set WS = WB.Sheets(BM18)
I want to have 1 check box affect 3 others in the following way: check box 1 if checked, allow check/uncheck of check boxes 2, 3, 4 if unchecked, uncheck boxes 2, 3, 4 and do not allow checking check box 1 is linked to D1 which starts with a value of false. cell E1 is if condition to have value 1 when D1 has value of true.
I am creating a userform with 10 checkboxes. The first 9 checkboxes are user options. I want the 10th check box to be a "Select All" option i.e. if the 10th checkbox is checked all the other 9 options are deemed to have been selected.
The way I want the display to work is that if the 10th checkbox is ticked all other checkboxes are cleared. Also if the 10th checkbox is ticked and any of the other check boxes is selected then the 10th checkbox should be selected.
I have tried coding this up but the checkboxes don't seem to operate as desired. I placed some code on the click event for the last option button to set the vlaue for all other buttons to false. This works but the 10th check box doesn't get ticked itself. When I try to code up the other bit I get similar issues.
What in the world did I do now? When I click on any cell, the cursor turns into a thick "+" . Then, when I move my mouse up and down the spreadsheet, all the cells the "+" touches become highlighted.
I have numerous hyperlinks in cells on a worksheet, next to these I have checkboxes. I am looking for a macro that will check if the boxes are checked and if not ignore them and if so run a certain macro.
Users can start an automatic copying process (active row from active sheet to sheet 2) by simply putting a date in a cell in column K. The activecell.row is copied over.
As part of the copying process, the value in cell D on the active row (the serial number) is copied to sheet 2. Before this happens, I would like a checking procedure added to the code which will stop the same row being copied more than once, thus avoiding duplicates.
I have tried InStr and also worksheet.CountIf but can't figure this out.
Code snippet below.
If InStr(1, Sheets("Sheet!2").Range("A:A" & lngLastRow), TempRef) Then
Where the value in TempRef (the serial number) is searched for in Sheet 2 col A.
I have a sheet with 2329 rows. Row 1 & 2 should be the same number, then rows 3 & 4 should be the same, then 5 & 6, etc (see example below). This should result in an even number of rows, so either 2328 or 2330. So somewhere in this sheet, I either have a number repeated twice instead of just once, or a number that's not repeated at all. Is there an easy way to highlight where the error is without having to manually scan all 2329 cells?
I am trying to create a basic spreadsheet in MSExcel used to collect standard info (Name, address blah blah blah). The people who will complete this will need to classify the people they are listing into groups (Group A, Group B etc. 5 groups total) and each group will be listed on a separate tab of the workbook (maybe this isn't the best way?).
As they enter the people they will need to decide if the person they are adding is to receive the welcome kit. Each company is limited to 50 welcome kits. My thought is to use a check box for them to indicate yes or no on the welcome kit.
Is there a way to display the number of welcome kits that are remaining on whatever tab they happen to be on?
Is there a way to give a clear indicator next to each name that 'yes' has been selected (colored box, text?).
