I'm trying to find a VBA code that would highlight appropriate row within the range "A7:AD100" if a cell in the column "AB" has value "Elective."
Sub highlight()
Dim cell As Range
Range(Range("AB7"), Range("AB7").End(xlDown)).Select
For Each cell In Selection
If cell = "Elective" Then Cells.Range($A7, $AD7).Interior.ColorIndex = 10
Next cell
End Sub
Only rows 1, 11, 21, 23 are highlighted since they have Admit Type = "Elective". The rows highlighted only within the range "A:AD" (I don't want the whole row to be highlighted).
I found this code that works for me
Sub HighlightCells()
Dim rngMyCell As Range
Dim lngLastRow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
lngLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "AB").End(xlUp).Row
For Each rngMyCell In Range("AB7:AB" & lngLastRow)
If StrConv(rngMyCell, vbProperCase) = "Elective" Then
Range("A" & rngMyCell.Row & ":AD" & rngMyCell.Row).Interior.Color = RGB(240, 240, 240)
End If
Next rngMyCell
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I am processing a data set that has about 50 columns, and the same columns are always off by a factor of ten. So, I just want to hardcode the specific columns (starting with F here) and divide every cell in the column by 10. Right now I am getting a "Type Mismatch" error. The code is below:
Sub FixData()
Dim finalRow As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
finalRow = Range("A100000").End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range("F1:F" & finalRow)
For Each cell In rng
cell.Value = cell.Value / 10
Next cell
End Sub
why loop when you can simply paste special and divide.
errors within the cells are ignored.
in vba, here is the code
Range("G10").Copy
Range("B2:E8").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlDivide
Application.CutCopyMode = False
test if cell is an error and then test if it is a number prior to dividing:
Sub FixData()
Dim finalRow As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
finalRow = Range("A100000").End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range("F1:F" & finalRow)
For Each cell In rng
If Not IsError(Cell) Then
If IsNumeric(cell) and cell <> "" Then
cell.Value = cDbl(cell.Value) / 10
End If
End If
Next cell
End Sub
I am trying to set the cell colors of a range of cells based on the data that's been inputted.
The row will change based on what row is currently active, but the columns will remain the same.
I want to change the cell color to black if the active cell is "N/A". I keep getting Run-Time Error 13: Type Mismatch. I'm trying to color columns D:F in whichever row is currently selected. My snip of code is below.
Sub black_out_range()
Dim wsC As Worksheet
Dim jobRange As Range
Dim jobRange As Range
Set wsC = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set jobRange = Range("B10", Range("B10").End(xlDown))
jobRange.Select
If TypeName(Selection) = "Range" Then
For Each i In jobRange
i.Activate
If ActiveCell = "N/A" Then
With wsC
.Range(.Cells(4, i), .Cells(6, i)).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End With
Thanks in advance!
It's usually best to try to avoid using select and activate in VBA, especially when you are trying to loop through a range
This code will look at the values in column b starting at row 10 (to the last row of data) and then color d-f black is the value in B is "N/A".
Sub black_out_range()
Dim last_row As Long
last_row = Range("B10").End(xlDown).Row()
For i = 10 To last_row
If Cells(i, 2).Value = "N/A" Then 'asumes you want to start looking at cell b10
Range("D" & i & ":F" & i).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
Next i
End Sub
You did not answer my clarification question, so I will try assuming that you try dealing with the real error #N/A. If so, please try the next code. It also avoids selecting, which does not bring any benefit, only consumes Excel resources decreasing the code speed:
Sub black_out_range()
Dim wsC As Worksheet, lastR As Long, i As Long
Set wsC = Worksheets("Sheet1")
lastR = wsC.Range("B" & rows.count).End(xlUp).row() 'it returns the last cell even with gaps in the range
For i = 10 To lastR
If IsError(wsC.Range("B" & i).Value) Then
If wsC.Range("B" & i).Value = CVErr(2042) Then 'the error for '#N/A' type
wsC.Range("D" & i & ":F" & i).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
End If
Next i
End Sub
But, if you really have a "N/A" in those cells, please use the next version:
Sub black_out_range_bis()
Dim wsC As Worksheet, lastR As Long, i As Long
Set wsC = Worksheets("Sheet1")
lastR = wsC.Range("B" & rows.count).End(xlUp).row()
For i = 10 To lastR
If wsC.Range("B" & i).Value = "N/A" Then
wsC.Range("D" & i & ":F" & i).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
Next i
End Sub
I would like to change the color of certain text in the cells based on the values in another cells. I have tried using conditional formatting but it does not work since I only wanted to change the color of particular words in the cells. I have googled a few VBA codes as well but still could not find the right one. Is there any VBA Code to enable this?
As shown in the example below (see image), I want to highlight ONLY the dates in Column B and C that match the dates in Column G. The day should remain the same.
For information, the values in Column B and C are formatted as text and the values in G are formatted as date.
Before
and this is basically what I wish for.
After
I have modified code appropriately as per your requirement in the comment.
Sub Change_Text_Color()
Dim Find_Text, Cell, Cell_in_Col_G, LastCell_inColG As Range
Dim StartChar, CharLen, LastUsedRow_inRange, LastUsedRow_inColB, _
LastUsedRow_inColC As Integer
LastUsedRow_inColB = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
LastUsedRow_inColC = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
LastUsedRow_inRange = Application.WorksheetFunction. _
Max(LastUsedRow_inColB, LastUsedRow_inColC)
Set LastCell_inColG = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.count, "G").End(xlUp)
For Each Cell In Range(Sheet1.Cells(2, 2), Cells(LastUsedRow_inRange, 3))
For Each Cell_in_Col_G In Range(Sheet1.Cells(2, 7), LastCell_inColG)
CharLen = Len(Cell_in_Col_G.Text)
Set Find_Text = Cell.Find(what:=Cell_in_Col_G.Text)
If Not Find_Text Is Nothing Then
StartChar = InStr(Cell.Value, Cell_in_Col_G.Text)
With Cell.Characters(StartChar, CharLen)
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0)
End With
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
Please let me know your feedback on it.
Use Characters:
With Range("a1")
.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=4).Font.Color=0
.Characters(Start:=5, Length:=10.Font.Color=255
End With
colours the first four letters black and the next ten in red.

I find filtering works well in these scenarios. Assuming that the format of your sheet is as it is in your sample sheets, try the code below:
Sub MarkDatesInCells()
Dim oWS As Worksheet: Set oWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet3") '<- Change to the sheet name
Dim iLRToHighlight As Long, iStartChar As Long, iC As Long, iLR As Long
Dim oHighlightRng As Range, oUpdateRng As Range, oRng As Range
Dim sColName As String
' Turn off updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
With oWS
' Clear autofilter if exists
If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
' Loop through all values specified in column G
iLRToHighlight = .Range("G" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For Each oHighlightRng In .Range("G2:G" & iLRToHighlight)
' Loop through column B and C
For iC = 2 To 3
' Set autofilter based on the value in column G
.UsedRange.AutoFilter iC, "=*" & oHighlightRng.Value
' Loop through all visible rows
iLR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, iC).End(xlUp).Row
If iLR > 1 Then
sColName = Left(Replace(.Cells(1, iC).Address, "$", ""), 1)
Set oUpdateRng = .Range(sColName & "2:" & sColName & iLR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
' Update each cell text
For Each oRng In oUpdateRng
iStartChar = InStr(1, oRng.Value, "- ", vbTextCompare) + 2
oRng.Characters(Start:=iStartChar, Length:=Len(oHighlightRng.Value)).Font.Color = 255
Next
End If
.AutoFilterMode = False
Next
Next
End With
' Turn on updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
EDIT
Based on your requirement to have this solution for a sheet with a table connected to a database, try the below code. I don't have a database that I can test the below code on so you might have to tinker with it a bit to get it right (i.e. the text that is highlight)
Sub MarkDatesInCellsInATable()
Dim oWS As Worksheet: Set oWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet4") '<- Change to the sheet name
Dim iLRToHighlight As Long, iStartChar As Long, iC As Long, iLR As Long
Dim oHighlightRng As Range, oUpdateRng As Range, oRng As Range
Dim sColName As String
Dim oTable As ListObject: Set oTable = oWS.ListObjects("Table_ExceptionDetails.accdb") '<- Change to the table name
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
With oWS
' Reset autofilter
oTable.Range.AutoFilter
' Loop through all values specified in column G
iLRToHighlight = .Range("G" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For Each oHighlightRng In .Range("G2:G" & iLRToHighlight)
' Loop through column B and C
For iC = 2 To 3
' Set autofilter based on the value in column G
oTable.Range.AutoFilter iC, "=*" & oHighlightRng.Value & "*"
' Loop through all visible rows
iLR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, iC).End(xlUp).Row
If iLR > 1 Then
sColName = Left(Replace(.Cells(1, iC).Address, "$", ""), 1)
Set oUpdateRng = .Range(sColName & "2:" & sColName & iLR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
' Update each cell text
For Each oRng In oUpdateRng
iStartChar = InStr(1, oRng.Value, "- ", vbTextCompare) + 2
oRng.Characters(Start:=iStartChar, Length:=Len(oHighlightRng.Value)).Font.Color = 255
Next
End If
oTable.Range.AutoFilter
Next
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True

I am new to this forum, so bear with me.
I have a CSV-file that I need to apply some VBA-modules to in order to get the information I need.
In short, I have 3 macros that together to the following:
Create a new row every 20th row
Take the number from the cell above (column A) and fill the blank space in the new row with this number.
Sum the numbers in column H from the 20 rows before the new row to get a total score. This is done subsequently for as long as new rows appear (every 20th row).
Is it possible to get these three macros in a single macro? This would make it easier to hand down to others that may need to use these macros.
Current code:
' Step 1
Sub Insert20_v2()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("H2")
While rng.Value <> ""
rng.Offset(20).Resize(1).EntireRow.Insert
Set rng = rng.Offset(21)
Wend
End Sub
' Step 2
Sub FillBlanks()
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
End Sub
' Step 3
Sub AutoSum()
Const SourceRange = "H"
Dim NumRange As Range, formulaCell As Range
Dim SumAddr As String
Dim c As Long
For Each NumRange In Columns(SourceRange).SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlNumbers).Areas
SumAddr = NumRange.Address(False, False)
Set formulaCell = NumRange.Offset(NumRange.Count, 0).Resize(1, 1)
formulaCell.Formula = "=SUM(" & SumAddr & ")"
'change formatting to your liking:
formulaCell.Font.Bold = True
formulaCell.Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
c = NumRange.Count
Next NumRange
End Sub
Thank you for any help.
Best,
Helge
You can create a single Sub calling all the other subs that you have created.
Example:
Sub DoAllTasks()
Insert20_v2
FillBlanks
AutoSum
End Sub
Then you just have to create a button and assign the DoAllTasks to it or run the macro directly.
HTH ;)
That Should'nt be that hard.
Public Sub main()
'deklaration
Dim rng As Range
Const SourceRange = "H"
Dim NumRange As Range, formulaCell As Range
Dim SumAddr As String
Dim c As Long
'Loop trough all Rows
Set rng = Range("H2")
While rng.Value <> ""
rng.Offset(20).Resize(1).EntireRow.Insert
Set rng = rng.Offset(21)
Wend
'Fill the Blank Rows in A
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
For Each NumRange In Columns(SourceRange).SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlNumbers).Areas
SumAddr = NumRange.Address(False, False)
Set formulaCell = NumRange.Offset(NumRange.Count, 0).Resize(1, 1)
formulaCell.Formula = "=SUM(" & SumAddr & ")"
'change formatting to your liking:
formulaCell.Font.Bold = True
formulaCell.Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
c = NumRange.Count
Next NumRange
End Sub
I need to find out the first cell and the last cell of a vertically merged cell..
Let's say I merge Cells B2 down to B50.
How can I get in VBA the start cell(=B2) and the end cell(=B50)?
Sub MergedAreaStartAndEnd()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rngStart As Range
Dim rngEnd As Range
Set rng = Range("B2")
If rng.MergeCells Then
Set rng = rng.MergeArea
Set rngStart = rng.Cells(1, 1)
Set rngEnd = rng.Cells(rng.Rows.Count, rng.Columns.Count)
MsgBox "First Cell " & rngStart.Address & vbNewLine & "Last Cell " & rngEnd.Address
Else
MsgBox "Not merged area"
End If
End Sub
Below macro goes through all sheets in a workbook and finds merged cells, unmerge them and put original value to all merged cells.
This is frequently needed for DB applications, so I wanted to share with you.
Sub BirlesenHucreleriAyirDegerleriGeriYaz()
Dim Hucre As Range
Dim Aralik
Dim icerik
Dim mySheet As Worksheet
For Each mySheet In Worksheets
mySheet.Activate
MsgBox mySheet.Name & “ yapılacak…”
For Each Hucre In mySheet.UsedRange
If Hucre.MergeCells Then
Hucre.Orientation = xlHorizontal
Aralik = Hucre.MergeArea.Address
icerik = Hucre
Hucre.MergeCells = False
Range(Aralik) = icerik
End If
Next
MsgBox mySheet.Name & " Bitti!!"
Next mySheet
End Sub
Suppose you merged B2 down to B50.
Then, start cell address will be:
MsgBox Range("B2").MergeArea.Cells(1, 1).Address
End cell address will be:
With Range("B2").MergeArea
MsgBox .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Address
End With
You can put address of any cell of merged area in place of B2 in above code.
Well, assuming you know the address of one of the cells in the merged range, you could just select the offset from that range and get the row/column:
Sub GetMergedRows()
Range("A7").Select 'this assumes you know at least one cell in a merged range.
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
iStartRow = ActiveCell.Row + 1
Range("A7").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
iEndRow = ActiveCell.Row - 1
MsgBox iStartRow & ":" & iEndRow
End Sub
The code above will throw errors if the offset row cannot be selected (i.e. if the merged rows are A1 through whatever) so you will want to add error handling that tells the code if it can't offset up, the top rows must be 1 and if it can't go down, the bottom row must be 65,536. This code is also just one dimensional so you might want to add the x-axis as well.
If you want the cell references as strings, you can use something like this, where Location, StartCell, and EndCell are string variables.
Location = Selection.Address(False, False)
Colon = InStr(Location, ":")
If Colon <> 0 Then
StartCell = Left(Location, Colon - 1)
EndCell = Mid(Location, Colon + 1)
End If
If you want to set them as ranges, you could add this, where StartRange and EndRange are Range objects.
set StartRange = Range(StartCell)
set EndRange = Range (EndCell)
If you intend to loop through the merged cells, try this.
Sub LoopThroughMergedArea()
Dim rng As Range, c As Range
Set rng = [F5]
For Each c In rng.MergeArea
'Your code goes here
Debug.Print c.Address'<-Sample code
Next c
End Sub
