I know this question may get asked a lot, but I haven't been able to find or understand the answer for exactly what I am looking for.
I am learning VBA in excel for the first time today and I am trying to auto-format a table of values and want this to work on different range sizes.
I am stuck on how to select the row underneath the last row in my selection and format it.
My code so far is:
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Rows("1:1").Interior.Color = 12155648
With Selection.Rows("1:1").Font
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.Bold = True
End With
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Cells(Selection.Rows.Count, Selection.Columns.Count).Select
Selection.Interior.Color = 12632256
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.Range("A1").Value = "Total"
What I want to happen:
Original
Desired Formatting
What about making it into an actual table
Sub Demo()
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, ActiveCell.CurrentRegion, , xlYes)
.Name = "MyTable" ' optional
.ShowTotals = True
End With
End Sub
Before
After
No, it isn't a common question because most programmers learn on their second day (that's tomorrow in your schedule) not to "Select" anything and use the Range object instead. Then your code would look more like this:-
Private Sub Snippet()
Dim Rng As Range
With Selection.CurrentRegion
.Rows(1).Interior.Color = 12155648
With .Rows(1).Font
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.Bold = True
End With
Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Cells(.Row + .Rows.Count, .Column).Resize(1, .Columns.Count)
End With
With Rng
.Interior.Color = 12632256
.Font.Bold = True
.Cells(1).Value = "Total"
End With
End Sub
You may use the following method, assuming your table start from B4:
Sub ty()
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Sheet1.Range("B4").End(xlDown).Row + 1
With Sheet1.Range("B4").Resize(1, 5)
.Interior.Color = 12155648
.Font.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.Font.Bold = True
End With
Sheet1.Cells(lastrow, 2).Value = "Total"
With Sheet1.Cells(lastrow, 2).Resize(1, 5)
.Interior.Color = 12632256
.Font.Bold = True
End With
End Sub

Conditional Formatting Condition:If selected cell("cel7") is not blank then put Black fill on it.
How can i modify my current code in such away that conditional formatting condition is used in cel7.
I tried to use xlnoblankscondition but i could not find any VBA examples of it on web.
P.S:As i have written all cel7 cell as C1,every condition will be true ie NOT BLANK.
x = ws.Range("A4").Value
y = ws.Range("A5").Value
ocol = 4
Set cel = Range("E6")
Set cel7 = cel.Offset(2, 0)
For m = 1 To x
For o = 1 To y
cel7.Value = "C1"
cel7.Select
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
Set cel7 = cel7.Offset(4, 0)
Next
Set cel = cel.Offset(0, ocol)
Set cel7 = cel7.Offset(0, ocol)
Next
I'm sorry as I'm still not clear on what you mean.
Anyway, I'm guessing that you want to coding the Conditional Formatting, just like when you do it manually.
I find the code below after I macro recording my manual step in Conditional Formatting.
I think the code in your condition maybe like this :
Sub test()
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
cel7.Select
cf = cel7.Address(0, 0)
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=NOT(ISBLANK(" & cf & "))"
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorLight1
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
End Sub
I try the code above by having cel7 variable refer to cell D10.
After I run the code, if I type something in cell D10, D10 fill black with white font.
If I clear the content of D10, D10 back to normal (no fill).
Also I try by having cel7 variable to a range D2 to D10.
If I type on any cell within D2:D10, the cell fill black with white font.
If I clear it, the cell back to normal.
But once again, maybe that's not what you want to achieve.
If I'm not mistaken read your code, it seems that your cel7 formatting is a non-contagious row. So please try your o loop like this one :
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete 'put this line before m loop
For m = 1 To x
For o = 1 To y
Cel7.Select
cf = Cel7.Address(0, 0)
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=NOT(ISBLANK(" & cf & "))"
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorLight1
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
Set Cel7 = Cel7.Offset(4, 0)
Next o
In the code below I took out your Selection of Cel7. You can address the range directly. I also added variable declarations. Omitting them causes more work than it saves. For the rest of it, the cell color is applied if the cell is found not to be Empty.
Sub Macro1()
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim Cel As Range, Cel7 As Range
Dim Tmp As Variant
Dim oCol As Long
Dim x As Long, y As Long
Dim m As Long, o As Long
Set Ws = ActiveSheet
x = Ws.Range("A4").Value
y = Ws.Range("A5").Value
oCol = 4
Set Cel = Ws.Range("E6")
Set Cel7 = Cel.Offset(2, 0)
For m = 1 To x
For o = 1 To y
With Cel7
Tmp = "C1" ' avoid read/write to sheet multiple times
.Value = Tmp
If IsEmpty(Tmp) Then
.Interior.Pattern = xlNone
Else
.Interior.Color = vbBlack
End If
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
Set Cel7 = Cel7.Offset(4, 0)
Next o
Set Cel = Cel.Offset(0, oCol)
Set Cel7 = Cel7.Offset(0, oCol)
Next m
End Sub
I'm not sure if the heading is accurately describing what my query is, so I'll try my best to describe it here.
I have a sheet that keeps track of expenses and income and I have a macro that I use to insert check boxes into selected cells, link the checkbox to those cells and finally, apply a condition for a conditional format once the checkbox is checked and likewise if it is unchecked again.
Here is code that does that:
Sub:
Sub Insert_Checkbox_Link_Cell()
Dim rngCel, myCells As Range
Dim ChkBx As CheckBox
Dim cBx As Long
Set myCells = Selection
myCells.NumberFormat = ";;;"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each rngCel In myCells
With rngCel.MergeArea.Cells
If .Resize(1, 1).Address = rngCel.Address Then
Set ChkBx = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes.Add(.Left, .Top, .Width, .Height)
With ChkBx
.Value = xlOff
.LinkedCell = rngCel.MergeArea.Cells.Address
.Text = ""
.Width = 18
.Top = rngCel.Top + rngCel.Height / 2 - ChkBx.Height / 2
.Left = rngCel.Left + rngCel.Width / 2 - ChkBx.Width / 2
.Select
'Function Call
Selection.OnAction = "Change_Cell_Colour"
End With
End If
End With
Next rngCel
If (Range(ChkBx.LinkedCell) = "True") Then
myCells.Interior.ColorIndex = 43
Else
myCells.Interior.ColorIndex = 48
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function:
Function Change_Cell_Colour()
Dim xChk As CheckBox
Dim clickedCheckbox As String
clickedCheckbox = Application.Caller
Set xChk = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(clickedCheckbox)
If xChk.Value = 1 Then
ActiveSheet.Range(xChk.LinkedCell).Interior.ColorIndex = 43
Else
ActiveSheet.Range(xChk.LinkedCell).Interior.ColorIndex = 48
End If
End Function
So how this works is, I select the range of cells I want to have the checkboxes in, then I run the macro and it inserts the checkboxes as stated above.
Now I am wanting to add a little more and I am not sure if it is possible.
In the image below, I have listed income and at the bottom is the total. So, as the money comes in, the checkbox is checked.
What I would like to do is this:
While the checkbox is UNCHECKED, I don't want the value in the cell to be added to the total count at the bottom.
When it is CHECKED, then the value in the cell should be added to the total count at the bottom.
Image 1: No Check Boxes
Image 2: Check Boxes Added
Image 3: One Check Box Checked
Image 4: 2 Checkboxes Checked
You could achieve this using Conditional Formatting and SUMIF formula to achieve this
I've used the following conditional formatting rules (You will need to change this for your ranges)
The conditional formatting is applied to both the cell fill and also the font text colour (to make the True/False be 'invisible')
In cell C6 (a merged range) I have the formula
=SUMIF($D$3:$D$5,TRUE,$C$3:$C$5)
Where cells in the D range contain the values of the linked cells for the checkboxes (i.e. True, False)and C range is the values you want to sum.
This is a much simpler approach then any VBA solution and personally, I'd remove the formatting of the cells from your vba above and just use the conditional formatting.
If you're looking for a VBA way to initiate this (except for the SUMIF formula) I've updated your below code to add the conditional formatting
Sub Insert_Checkbox_Link_Cell()
Dim rngCel, myCells As Range
Dim ChkBx As CheckBox
Dim cBx As Long
Set myCells = Selection
myCells.NumberFormat = ";;;"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each rngCel In myCells
With rngCel.MergeArea.Cells
If .Resize(1, 1).Address = rngCel.Address Then
Set ChkBx = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes.Add(.Left, .Top, .Width, .Height)
With ChkBx
.Value = xlOff
.LinkedCell = rngCel.MergeArea.Cells.Address
.Text = ""
.Width = 18
.Top = rngCel.Top + rngCel.Height / 2 - ChkBx.Height / 2
.Left = rngCel.Left + rngCel.Width / 2 - ChkBx.Width / 2
End With
End If
End With
Next rngCel
With myCells
' Set default value
.Value2 = False
' Add conditional formatting for False value
With .FormatConditions
.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=" & myCells.Cells(1).Address(False, True) & "=False"
End With
With .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count)
.SetFirstPriority
With .Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 9868950
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
With .Font
.Color = -6908266
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
End With
' Add conditional formatting for True value
With .FormatConditions
.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=" & myCells.Cells(1).Address(False, True) & "=True"
End With
With .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count)
.SetFirstPriority
With .Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 52377
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
With .Font
.Color = -16724839
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
End With
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
You can give a value (eg: 1 for checked and 0 for unchecked) to the cell where the checkbox is added in your color change function. keep the cell's font color the same as the cell's fill color so that the value will be invisible to naked eyes. then in the total sum section, you can use sumif function.
working on work project and i am stuck.
I allready have a function thats add a new row over active cell.
Now i want to add grey color to new row, and when new row cells has letters or numbers in it, it will appear as no color (hvite). SEE IMAGE OF PROJECT HERE
Also i dont want the color to go longer than column S as ilustrated in image.
Im not the author of this code. And theres is much i dont even understand. Code goes as follows. AND THERE MAY BE SOME TYPE ERRORS IN THIS CODE, HAD TO WRITE IT FROM A COMPUTER TO ANOTHER. THE CODE BELOW WORKS. just need to add the color to the row
`Sub insert_row()
Dim LineNumber As Integer
Dim insertionpoint
Dim Rownumber, Positionrow As Integer
Dim MarkedArea As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Stops screenupdating
Insertionpoint = ActiveCell.Address
LineNumber = ActiveCell.Row
For Rownumber = 5 To 1000
If Range("B" & Rownumber).Value = "PLACE" Then
Positionrow = Rownumber + 1
End If
Next Rownumber
If LineNumber < Positionrow - 5 And LineNumber > 6 Then
Range(Insertionpoint).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Insert 'Inserts new row over active cell
LineNumber = ActiveCell.Row
Range("A" & LineNumber).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[1]="""","""",TEXT(RC[1],""DDMM"")&""0""&RC[2])"
'More cell properties .....
'More .....
'More .....
MarkedArea = "B" & LineNumber & ":X" & LineNumber
Range("B" & LineNumber).Select
'SetStandardFormat
Range("AB6:AS6).Select ' not shown in picture
Selection.Copy
Range(Insertionpoint).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=x1PasteFormats, Operation:=x1None, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Else
MsgBox ("Row can not be added here")
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End Sub`
Also there is a button with this in it
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'add row
Insert_row
End Sub
Hope for some help! Thanks.
You just want a grey-color to the added row?
Insertionpoint = ActiveCell.Address
Range(Insertionpoint).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
With Range(Insertionpoint).EntireRow.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.TintAndShade = -0.249977111117893
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
Giving what I used to test... didn't fix any .select, and pulled out what I needed to test, from your code.
Edit
Adding some code for the loop to add color... will assume that the date is in Column B:
Dim i As Long, LR As Long
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 'assumes column A is contiguous
For i = 2 To LR 'Assumes row 1 is headers
If Cells(i, "B").Value = "" Then
With Rows(i).EntireRow.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.TintAndShade = -0.249977111117893
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
Else
Rows(i).EntireRow.Interior.Color = xlNone
End If
Next i
How can I get headings "underproject" to be darker marked automatic? I can do it myself, but want it to happen automatic for all headings.
Before & After
Range("A6:L6,A7:D7").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorLight1
.TintAndShade = 0.249977111117893
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.Font
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlGeneral
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.IndentLevel = 0
.ShrinkToFit = False
.ReadingOrder = xlContext
.MergeCells = True
End With
You can do this with conditional formatting. Select the whole table column A to column G and add a new conditional formmating rule and choose the bottom option to enter a formula. enter =left($A1,4)="Unde" click the format button and choose the format you want.
Select the Columns A to C and create another conditional formatting rule and select formula. Enter =left($A1,4)="Navn" and set the format that you want.
this won't merge the cells but in my opinion it is better no keep the cells unmerged as it allows you to sort and filter the data if required.
It is possible using a Macro but you would have to loop through all the cells in column A looking for "Navn" and "Underproject" and use if statements to set the formats.
Code to delete rows based on heading
I can't tell from your comment what it is exactly that you want to delete but to can change the critera to suit your requirements.
IMPORTANT: make sure that you make a backup copy of your data before running this macro as changes made by the macro cannot be undone.
Sub DeleteEx()
Dim intRow As Integer
Dim strContinue As String
Dim bolDelete As Boolean 'true or false
intRow = 2
strContinue = Cells(intRow, 1) ' the value in A2
bolDelete = False
Do While strContinue <> "" ' this loop will continue down each row as long as there is a value in column A
If Left(strContinue, 5) = "Under" Or Left(strContinue, 5) = "Navn:" Then 'change this to match your criteria
'delete the current row
Rows(intRow & ":" & intRow).Delete Shift:=xlUp
intRow = intRow - 1 ' because we deleted a row
End If
intRow = intRow + 1
strContinue = Cells(intRow, 1)
Loop
End Sub

see where I am looking at coloring the rows. I wanted to select and fill (with any color) every other row, kinda like some of those access reports. I can do it manually coding each and every row, but two problems: 1) its a pain 2) i don't know what the record count is before hand.
How can I make the code more efficient in this respect while incorporating the recordcount to know how many rows to "loop through"
EDIT: Another question I have is with the selection methods I am using in the module, is there a better excel syntax instead of these with selections....
.Cells.Select
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Calibri"
.Size = 10
End With
is the only way i figure out how to accomplish this piece, but literally every other time I run this code, it fails. It says there is no object and points to the .font ....every other time? is this because the code is poor, or that I am not closing the xls app in the code? if so how do i do that?
Thanks as always!
Use conditional formatting. Here's a small piece of your code rewritten
On Error Resume Next
With .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(intMaxRow, intMaxCol))
.CopyFromRecordset rs
.FormatConditions.Add xlExpression, , "=MOD(ROW(),2)=1"
With .FormatConditions(1)
.Interior.Color = vbYellow
End With
End With
You should ask your selection question in a new question, but the answer will be: whenever you see .Select followed by With Selection, you probably don't need to select.
With Cells.Font
.Name = "Calibri"
.Size = 10
End With
You don't need to select all range for CopyfromRecordset, just Range("A1").CopyfromRecordset rs is enought and for what i see, you could just select your data instead of all column.
For i = 2 to 6 Step 2
With Range(Cells(1,i),Range(Cells(1,i)).End(xlDown)).Interior
.ColorIndex = 40
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
Next i
And for the second question #DickKusleika is right.
