How To Get Row And Column To Highlight As Mouse Hovers Over A Cell
Jan 24, 2013
I was wondering if there is a way I can get the row and column to highlight as the mouse hovers over a cell?? We keep a spreadsheet with information for over 300 employees. For example if I hover over cell J23, I would like Column J and Row 23 to highlight.
I don't have any problem regrading the project but my Problem starts when i tried to make my tool more user friendly
i tried to put comments on conditional cells in form of images but i also want to put these Image POPUPS on buttone also what i desired is when ever mose arrow hover over a button a image pop should appear.
I'm trying to do a formula without using a marco. The formula would do the following:
- Highlight value in column A if the value is found in column B and on the same line value in column F and I are equal to zero; - Value in column A could match many value in column B
I tried everything I know but can't seems to make it work.
Code that will highlight a entire row when a cell from a column has a value of 0. It will check all the cell from Column C1:C100 and check all the cells that contains a 0 value. Need to highlight the entire row that contains this cell value and fill it in orange color.
Is there a way to highlight the row and column of the active cell? The highlighting will move as the active cell is moved around the spread sheet. I have a newbie manager that is bugging the pea-turkey out of me! He wants to be able to easily see where he is within some of our sheets while he is in a vehicle or outside on a job site...seems like an "accessibility" type issue, but can't find anything in Excel "Options."
Highlighed the Column and Row of the selected Cell. I have seen someone using it. Whenever he click on any cell the related column and Rows clour change. For Example if I select Cell B5. The Column B and Row 5 change its colur from B1 to B5 and Row from Column A to Column B. If this option is already available in office 2010
I want to highlight an entire column based on whether a cell in that column is equal to today's date.
I know how to write a loop that cycles through all of the columns until it finds today's date and then modify the column's properties, I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it. Also, I want the highlighting to be temporary meaning it should not save.
I have found this code by searching witch is perfect
Code: If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub Application.ScreenUpdating = False Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 With Target 'With the cell that was selected, .EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 .EntireColumn.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True
The point is that i want to retain the previous formatting of cells when i select another cell. And also i would like to create a switch to turn the Worksheet_SelectionChange event on and off. The tricky part is here i guess, becouse i would like when turned off to retain the previous formatting also.
I've a sheet that presents the profitability of sales locations in a geographic layout (similar to Tables in a restaurant), each sales location is a cell, with roughly 1,600 locations presented. Each location is colour coded based on performance / measure, in a basic thermographic way [e.g. dark blue for very poor, solid red for high performance] with users being able to change metrics and re-colour cells accordingly.
The sheet is already information rich, but I'm wanting to detect the cell address directly under the pointer and populate a text box or other cell based on the value in the cell directly below the mouse pointer.
My question is; Is there a simple way of detecting the mouse position on the XL Grid? nb. Want to avoid having to activate cell beneath pointer.
is there a way to launch a macro when your mouse is over a specific cell or a specific range of cells ? The idea behind is to update a chart based on the cell value, in case a name, with its associated values
On my worksheet, i want to execute a macro to calculate and display some informations when the mouse is positioned over certains cells. I look around but did not found how to do it.
I want the information to be displayed above that cell and disapeared when mouse pointer moved away.
Is there a way of counting mouse clicks on an active XL cell and displaying the real time count in the cell, in essence giving a click count? Or in the case of a handheld, tapping an active cell and having the value incrementally increase with each tap...
Is there a way to have excel track where my mouse is hovering(say if I have it hovering over cell A4) and have it return the value of A4 in a different cell (e.g B7)?
This would occur in real time - that is, as my mouse moved over the spreadsheet, B7 would update in real time.
Note I would also accept someone selecting the cell - hovering (no select) would be ideal but selecting is OK.
I was just wondering if it was possible to get a collapsible menu/dialog box for excel when a user clicks on the cell of interest. I don't want to use the collapsible list function as I would rather the user be able to click on the cell of interest and then have that cell produce maybe another window/dialog box which will show the user what I have put in there - maybe a chart or table or just a set of data - and perhaps allow them to cut and paste the data as well? However, most importantly, I just want a dialog/window box to appear rather than having to group and use the collapsible list function. I've attached an image of what I have in mind.
I have problem with inputbox which I can not select the cell by dragging the mouse. Means user have to enter manually the range into the textbox. At below i attached the code and picture of inputbox dialog box.
i am using MS office 2003.
Set GetRange = Excel.Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Select a range:", Title:="Tes", Type:=8)
I created 5 charts and instead of having them spread everywhere in the worksheet, I would like them to be "reduced" to some kind of a link contained in a cell (at the botom of the data of each chart). Then, I would like the chart to appear only if I put the mouse on this cell.
I need formatting to highlight the dates in Column H if they are a greater than a week or more from Column G. Tried some different ways of doing this with the conditional formatting but cannot get it to work yet
In excel 2007, I have an embedded image on a sheet which I want to make it hidden by default. When someone hovers over a particular cell say cell B3, then image should be displayed below this cell (sort of hyperlinking) and when the cursor or activell cell is not in B3 it should be hidden again. What steps/technique/VBA code will make it happen ?
When I click on a cell, is there a way to have the cells in the column and row that intersect with that cell highlighted or greyed-out automatically .. to highlight the intersection itself ?
In Excel 2003, I need to be able to format one column (ie Lead Source) so that if the value in that column is not x,y, or z, it is highlighted or is otherwise visually marked as being out of compliance.
For example, if I have a column that is titled Month, I need to format it such that if the value entered does not match one of the 12 months of the year, it is highlighted.
It is also important to be able to apply this formatting to already existing data, as opposed to as it is being entered (as in list validation). And that is can be easily applied to large sets of data.
I have used conditional formatting in the past to highlight repeated cells, and had tried something similar with this, but am not familiar enough with excel syntax and can't seem to make it fly.
