Vba To Change Color Of Selected Cell

Feb 5, 2008

As an example:

Cells C7:F7 are currently shaded light green. Cells G7:L7 are shaded light blue. M7 is shaded dark blue. N7:Q7 are shaded light yellow and R7:T7 are shaded light gray.

When any cell in that range (C7:T7) is clicked (selected), I want the cell color to change to it's normal color; like light yellow to yellow, light blue to blue, dark blue to blue, light green to green and finally light gray to gray.

These cells represent headings for a database. When a heading is selected, the database will sort by that column and the header will change colors. I can do the sort code.

If another header is chosen, the previous selection will need to revert back to it's lighter color and the new selection will change as above... so only ONE cell will be changed from it's "normal state" color at a time. This will serve as an indicator as to which column is being used for the sort. To the user, it will have the appearance of switching on and off.

If any other cell on the sheet is selected, then this should not trigger an event change.

Change Color Of Row When Cell Is Selected

May 22, 2007

I have a spreadsheet containing many rows of data that I need people to review. After reviewing the data in the column, a reviewer must enter comments in the right-most column and then hit the Enter key to move to the next row down.

What I'd like to happen -- As a reviewer selects the cell where they need to enter data, I want the entire row to highlight. I can use conditional formatting to change the color of the row once data is entered, but I want to change the color of the row when a specific cell is selected. I've attached a sample spreadsheet.

Change Font Color Based On Adjacent Cell Color

Apr 18, 2008

I have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.

Worksheet Cell Automatically Highlights In Different Color When It Is Selected

Mar 6, 2013

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?

Change The BG Colour Of A Cell When Selected

Nov 3, 2008

I have 5 cells in the same row (C20:G20)
When i click on one of them i want it to either change the background of the selected cell or the background of the cell below it.

EG if i click on C20 either C20 or D20 the highlight black and change the text colour to white, or just change the background to grey.

i thought it might be something like Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6

i tried this>

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells = C20 Then
Target.Offset(1, 0).BGColor = 6
End If
End Sub

Change The Color Of Cell

Dec 14, 2009

I am having some color problems. From A2:AB2000 I have different fill colors for cells all over the place. The only color I need is the color purple which I believe is the color “39”.

So basically all cells except the cells with the color purple change to white from A2:AB2000. I would like to add this code to the macro I have already created.

Change Row Color On Cell Value?

Nov 22, 2012

I'm trying to put together a script which changes the color of the row in columns A:AE if any cell in the Range B7:B400 has the value of 'No'. If it has the value of 'Yes' I would like it to Exit Sub.

I've put together the code below to try an create this function, but I'm running into a few problems.

Code:
If Intersect(Target, Range("B7:B400")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target "No" Then[code]....

When the value of any cell in Range B7:B400 is 'Yes' the row changes to grey, if I enter 'No' it removes all cell shading from the row, and I'm not very clear on what changes I need to make.

So if I wanted to cancel a certain row of data I would click on a button, enter the range of cells to cancel and then this would turn all of the writing in the cells to red colour with a strike through the words.

Excel 2007 :: Real Time Formula Change When Cell Selected

Mar 6, 2012

I am an Excel 2007 user.

I have a formula (below) that looks only at records based on specific filtering criteria or conditions; one of those conditions is the month of the year: ('Data Dump'!$Q:$Q,Summary!$A$26). This portion of the formula would change as a month is selected.

Opposed to having to rewrite the formula every time that I want to view a specific month, I want to automate the formula to change the first condition when a user selects a month from Column A. This would be a real time, automatic refiltering and recalculation as the user selects different months from Column A

Current Formula that filters and shows only January records.
=COUNTIFS('Data Dump'!$Q:$Q,Summary!$A$26,'Data Dump'!$D:$D,Summary!$A$2,'Data Dump'!$M:$M,Summary!C$2)

Column A (January is in cell A26)
January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
October
November
December

Change Cell Color On Select

Mar 21, 2012

I ran a quick code to see if this would work. it did at first then stopped.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal target As Range)
tcol = target.Column
trow = target.Row
If Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = -4142 Then Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
If Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = 8 Then Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex = -4142
MsgBox trow & " " & tcol & " " & Cells(trow, tcol).Interior.ColorIndex
End Sub

In short I am trying to toggle between color/no color when a cell is selected. I got the -4142 from using the MsgBox to determine the value. Should I be approaching this differently?

How To Change Tab Color Based On Cell Value

I have been trying to figure out how to change the color of a specific tab based on information being entered in cell "B9" for each sheet that the tabs represent. If there is information in cell B9 on "tab 1", I want only tab 1 to change a color. If there is no information entered in cell B9 of tab 2, then I want tab 2 to stay with its default color.

There are 34 tabs I want this to happen to, out of just more than 60 total tabs on the worksheet.
