Setting Background Colour

Dec 4, 2008

I am wanting to create a function, callable from a worksheet, that sets the background colour for any given range of cells to a given RGB value. I am confused about the Color and ColorIndex properties. I'd have thought the following piece of code was trivial and would work but it doesn't.

Setting Background Fill Color In VBA

Aug 4, 2009

I'm admittedly a novice in VBA but I'm trying to simply settnig the background color of the active cell. I've seen various snippets on the web that reference this via setting the color.index variable, using the RGB codes, etc. but nothing seems to work. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I know from tracing thru that the assignment instruction is being executed. I've tried using Selection.blah instead of ActiveCell, etc. also.

Select Case Total_Points
Case Is >= 70
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = vbGreen 'Green
ActiveCell.Interior.Pattern = 1 'xlSolid
ActiveCell.Interior.PatternColorIndex = -4105 'xlAutomatic
Client_Type = "Elite Partner (" & Round(Total_Points) & ")"

Background Colour Change Only Certain Columns In A Row Using VBA

Apr 1, 2013

I want to change the back ground colour of each row until G column when there is a text in the first cell. I have attached the excel that I want the background colour to be. Like suppose, F1 is the details of family 1, F2 is for family 2. I want each family to be coloured. The rows are not fixed for each family. If F1 details are coloured green, Fr is orange, F3 is green and F4 is orange again. And the number F1, F2, F3, F4 and so on are not ordered in ascending. They can be random. But I want the colour coding to be the same as what I have shown in the excel. I have so many rows like that. How do I do that using excel. I have tried conditional formatting. But it doesn't work.

Adding Colour Background And Number

Jul 28, 2014

In the IAF tab, last one on sheet, I want to highlight a cell if on the Day tabs there is anything in column E, this will be text e.g. LAD, LE, E, AD, LC or NS, and in the same cell show the number that appears in column J of the day tabs, the excel sheet I'm working is to large to upload, if I delete some of the tabs all of the formulas go out of kilter. If Joe Blogs was at work on Day 1, the corresponding cell in the IAF tab should be yellow, if the supervisor monitored Joe's work on Day 1 the same IAF tab cell should remain yellow and show the number that is placed in column J on Day 1 for Joe Blogs.

I have managed to upload an amended copy of the file : Job PSS MASTER - v3 6 AMENDED.xlsx‎

Worksheet Background And Font Colour

Jun 21, 2009

when i pasted the data into an Excel sheet, the background will change to red and the font will turn to blue. Besides, the font in header will change as well. I can't find the way how to do it because this template is set by other person. I can confirm this is not done by macro.

Set Background Colour Depending On Variants

Dec 17, 2007

I need a macro that will change the background colour of a cell depending on whether it equals a certain variant. Let me explain.

Cells D8 to N8 will either equal 1, 2, 3 or 4. Depending on the value of the cells on row 8 (D8:N8) I need the above cells on row 4 (D4:N4) to have a different background colour.

If the cell on row 8 is 1, the cell on row 4 must have a green background.
If the cell on row 8 is 2, the cell on row 4 must have a yellow background.
If the cell on row 8 is 3, the cell on row 4 must have a red background.
If the cell on row 8 is 4, the cell on row 4 must have a blue background.

Therefore, if D8 = 3, D4 will have a red background. If F8 = 2, F4 will have a yellow background. And so on.

I need a macro that when ran changes the background colour of the cell range D4:N4 depeding on the value of the cell 4 rows beneath (D8:N8).

Conditional Formatting And Change Its Background Colour

Jun 30, 2009

I'm trying to set a conditional formatting to do the following:

If A1 is greater than 1, A2 will change its background colour to green. So the format needs to be in A2.

Basically in A1 is a page number that we have reconciled our bank statement to (labelled as "64" or "65" and so on), A2 has the end of statement amount.

Every month end we do a bank rec, the green cell is a marker to show what point we reconciled up to previous month.

VBA Conditional Programming - Background Colour When Criteria Not Met

Sep 17, 2009

I have some code below which looks at values added between a set range of cells. This works OK.

My problem is when i have to change the cell as it removes the background colour already set to certain columns ie Columns I, J, P, Q, W, X, AD, AE (these are coloured a light green).

The other cells in the range have no colour and so the code below works with no problem.

Errors With Changing Cell Background Colour?

Mar 18, 2013

I'm using this code below to change the background colour of a range of cells:

Code:
With .Range("I18:J18")
.Locked = False
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 9739376 'RGB(112,156,148)
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With

I am receiving 'Object doesn't support this property or method' errors starting with the highlighted row. I'm unable to understand where I've erred. Note that range I18:J18 are merged.

Is this method an efficient way of simply changing a cell's background colour?

Click Button That Changes Cell Background Colour

Jan 12, 2007

The problem is that the cells which need to change are locked and have a object group ontop of them and are not all in one row or column..

The cells which need to change are A4,A5,A6,B6,C6,D6,E6,F6,G6,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6,I6,J6,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6.

It sort of a theme changer for my spreadsheet incase people want a change and can do all of it with one click of a button or maybe click on a cell with the colour on it and have that colour copy itself to the range.

Auto Format Fill Colour Background On Certain Cells

Apr 2, 2007

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.

Setting Colour Of Cell Based On Content

May 3, 2007

I have inherited a spreadsheet from someone else that rather cleverly (in my humble opinion) sets the colour dependant on the contents. ie negative value is red, zero is amber and positive is green.

i like the idea and would like to use it on a spreadsheet of my own, but have tried to find out how it is done and can't!

Changing Background Colour Of Items In A Dropdown / Combobox On Userform?

May 23, 2014

I would like to know whether it is possible to change the background colour of items in a dropdown/combobox on my userform?

I have a series of times at 15 min intervals and i want, if possible, to distingish between 'working hours' and 'non-working hours' by making the background of these numbers 'grey'.

Maybe looping through from 00:00 to 07:00 i.e 28 times (28 x 15min intervals)?

VBA To Change Background Colour In Free Form Depending On Text In Cells?

Apr 3, 2014

I have a spreadsheet with several freeforms. I would like them to change backgroundcolour, if the content in a cell is equal to another cell.

Basically I would like my shape "Freeform1" to change backgroundcolour to RGB (0, 180, 0) if Sheet1.Range ("A1") = Sheet2.Range("D3").

If it's not the same content in both cells, I would like the freeform to remain unchanged, that's RGB (79, 129, 189).

This should happend automaticly, so I don't have to click the shape to make it happen.
