I'm trying to add an arrow to my Excel online document, that changes colour dependent on another cell being positive or negative. In Excel desktop this is easy, but is it possible in the online version?
You can't use macros (to the best of my knowledge), so VBA is out. CF add in's don't work, and you can't use linked pictures.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I made a VBA function which turns my raw data into a table format since I want to use a pivottable for charts. The problem is that my file need to run on excel online and VBA is not running in a cloud environment.
Is there a way to do this with functions/power query/...
Thanks in advance
Took a while but i managed. It is in fact Excel online compatible Each formula is displayed above the corresponding column. I added some data to make sure it could handle extra data.
=IF(F8<>"",ROWS($G$7:G7),NA#)
=AGGREGATE(15,6,$G$8:$G$32,ROWS($G$7:G7))
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),IF(ISTEXT(INDEX($B$6:$C$32,H8,1)),INDEX($B$6:$C$32,H8,2),I7),"")
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),IF(ISTEXT(INDEX($C$7:$D$32,H8,1)),INDEX($C$7:$D$32,H8,2),J7),"")
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),INDEX(E$8:E$32,$H8),"")
=IF(ISNUMBER(H8),INDEX(F$8:F$32,$H8),"")
For an application of protocolling some measurements and therefore made a design for the print out of the data. This is a fairly complex design with many highlighted area, marked cells, font size changes, background color, pictures and so on.
My question is: Is there any way to get the design as a VBA code to "store" it without doing it all manually?
I already tried around some with the macro, though I couldn't "read" the current cell design.
Thank you in advance
You could save your empty templates on hidden sheets and copy the required on to the "print" sheet. Storing all of the formatting in code will be difficult to manage unless it's very basic formatting.

How can excel remember my standardize formatting, Like
Standard font
Color
Boarding
etc.
Is there any command through which excel remember all this. And i can apply this formatting to all annexures by single click.
Please Find attachment for more clarification
Yes it is possible..
you just need to create an addin into excel and then import that addin on Quick Access Toolbar.
Refer my image. Also i don't know what formatting you want so help me with sample excel so that i can help you...
I am looking to try and solve a workflow issue and could really use some help, I'm learning as I go and have been trying to solve this for a little while now without any luck.
I want to set a conditional format which is activated if any of the conditional formatting in that row has been activated already.
I'm really unsure of how to express cell colour in a formula and have tried using the name manager for this but honestly, I'm in a muddle. any suggestions?
I think basically I want to be able to set a formula that says something along the lines of
=IF(B5:BL5=Cellcolour5) then format blue.
I'm trying to help my dad out with a spreadsheet for a small charity he runs and it's just gotten a bit more complicated than I can handle with my limited experience. Any help gratefully appreciated.
You can't test for cell colour in a formulas without vba.
Since this is for charity , if you want I will personally help you out with excel - you can contact me directly at stevenmartin99#gmail.com
In excel & word 2007 there is a picture tools tab that shows up in the ribbon when you insert a picture or clip art and there is the smart art. Is there a way to manipulate these objects and settings (e.g. transparency, position, effects etc) in vba. A macro doesn't seem to work for me either.
I know that in Excel VBA (my experience is prior than 2007), you could manipulate many aspects of images via the Shape object. A good way to explore the Shape object is to record a macro while you try to manipulate the image and then look at the VBA code it created to see what you did. This doesn't always work perfectly, but it's a great way to start.
Also, you might be interested in checking out the answer I gave to a related question about moving images between cells in Excel .
I'm not sure how many aspects of an image you can manipulate just with the Shape object, but it's worth taking a look.
For now I don't believe there is a way to manipulate with code these picture aspects in office 2007.
If anyone out there has a better answer, I will mark it as accepted.
This will help if you want to change the actual picture displayed. It's non-VAB stuff, but the technique is worth knowing about
