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.
I have five possible reps names in column A, when i type in "peter" i want that row up to column I to have a background colour of yellow, each rep must have his own colour. when i clear the name from column A the row should clear the colour. using conditional formating i can only get the first cell to get a background colour.
I currently have some code that copies a single cell from multiple worksheets. Unfortunately those cells all have a yellow fill and i don't want that fill showing up in my summary sheet. How can i alter this code to copy the cells without the fill.
I tried dragging by the grip in the bottom right hand corner but it changes the first didit only. I tried to put it the numbers in the format
100 101 102
and using a custom format number to put in the extra zeros. This worked fine until I used a countif (or it may of been a lookup) statement in my code to look for 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 and it can't find it as the number is 100. Is there away around this that will save me typing in an awful lot of zeros.
I'm trying to create an excel spreadsheet to manage personnel and various ongoing projects, what I'm trying to do is create a custom box with a selection of options (5) that will automaticaly fill a selected range of cells with a colour and 'merged' text that was selected from the custom box.
I need to fill 2 other cells with varying colours dependant on what is chosen within another cell.
I have a drop-down list in cell A2 to select either ON SITE, ACTIVE or CANCEL.
What I need then basically is... if A2 equals 'ON SITE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) GREEN if A2 equals 'ACTIVE' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) YELLOW if A2 equals 'CANCEL' then fill other two cells (A3 and B1) RED
I have a calendar set up with dates going along P6:CU6. Column C9:C27 has various status' for the job such as "Complete" or "In Progress" etc. Next to that in rows D and E I have start and end dates for the job. What I am trying to do is change the fill colour of the empty cells that are in line with each job, so that between the correct dates they are the corresponding colour to the status. So a complete job on row 9 that started on 26/05/14 and finished on 28/05/14 would have three green cells along Q9, R9, and S9.
I have tried an IF/AND/OR statement which looks like this:
I am getting a #VALUE! data type error, I have tried reformatting the cells to various date formats but no luck so far. This could be because my dates are set up as =P6+1 etc. but I am not sure. The error only occurs when the cell falls within the dates, otherwise it remains blank.
I intend to hide the value in the cell and use conditional formatting to change the cell colour based on the hidden input.
Once this is working I also need to take weekends into account, column G has any 2 value combination of Y and N to say whether the employee is working Saturday, Sunday or both. Row 7 has a "1" value underneath every Saturday and a "2" underneath every Sunday. I can imagine how this would work but combining it with the above formula could be complicated.
i have an excel file which contains data, I want to be able to search this file and to fill the cell and its next 3 cells to the right with a certain colour. Is this possible as I have wrote some vba to do this but, Im only able to search and not fill the cells with the correct colour.
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
How I can change the background colour of cell C:2 depending on what other cell i click? Below a sample of the code im using Basically when i click B:2 i want C:2 to turn grey with the text on top.... Then when i click B:4 i want C:2 to turn Red.....
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Select Case Target.Address Case Is = "$B$2" Range("D2").Value = "No action needed connector is down" 'change this to suit Case Is = "$B$3"
Below I have an example from A1 to V1 which have 3 conditional formatting conditional format 1. if value is 0 then colour red and font white conditional format 2. if value is from 1 to 10 then colour blue and font white conditional format 3. if values 11 to 25 colour green, font black
Working with 2 worksheets in the same spreadsheet. In worksheet A cell F6 is a solution (hex2dec) these solutions are staggered consistently in column F (F6, F9, F12, F15 etc) In worksheet B cell A2 displays workshop A cell F6 details (=ATR!F6) Worksheet B cell A3 Autofil uses (=ATR!F7) I want (=ATR!F9) Worksheet B cell A4 I want (=ATR!F12) How do I condition autofil to follow my chosen sequence ie F6,F9,F12,F15 etc...
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.
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.
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?
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.
I need to input values rangeing from 0 to 5. When inputing I want to make the background colour change to a differant colour for each value. I can do it but only for data already in the spreadsheet.
I have a large list of students (Col a,b) who do several sports (up to 10) each, which are arranged as sport name (Col c) followed by score (col d), repeated on pairs of columns for the other 9 sports.
I need a macro to find the 4 highest scoring sports for each student in turn and to highlight the score and sport cells. I have tried to find permutations using the LARGE function but I cannot see how I can do this.
