Hi Team,

Need support on Macro

I have the Main data from (A14 to I25) and
1. From A30 to I39 where ever we got an "X" letter i need a "GREEN" color on (A14 to I25)
2. From A43 to I51 whatever letter we have should match with Row 14 and need RED color on (A14 to I25)

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub cell_color()
  Dim i As Long, j As Long
 
  For i = 30 To 39
    For j = 2 To 9
      If InStr(1, Cells(i, j).Value, "X") > 0 Then
        Cells(i - 15, j).Interior.Color = 4697456     'or vbgreen
      End If
    Next
  Next
 
  For i = 42 To 51
    For j = 2 To 9
      If InStr(1, Cells(i, j).Value, Cells(14, j)) > 0 Then
        Cells(i - 27, j).Interior.Color = 5263615   'or vbRed
      End If
    Next
  Next
End Sub

The same macro but compacted.
VBA Code:
Sub cell_color()
  Dim i As Long, j As Long, m As Long
  Dim s As String, n
  
  For j = 2 To 9
    For i = 30 To 51
      Select Case i
        Case 30 To 40: s = "X":          m = 15: n = 4697456  'or vbgreen
        Case 42 To 51: s = Cells(14, j): m = 27: n = 5263615  'or vbRed
      End Select
      If InStr(1, Cells(i, j).Value, s) > 0 Then Cells(i - m, j).Interior.Color = n
    Next
  Next
End Sub

Hi Sir,

I was trying with the below MACRO and was not able to get Red Color but only Green Cells appeared with the below MAcro

I know I am missing something in the below line can you please help me on this :)

"
ElseIf InStr(1, Cells(x + 28, 132), Cells(1, y)) Then
'Change the text color
ActiveCell.Interior.Color = RedColor
"

MACRO

Sub changeTextColor()
GreenColor = RGB(0, 176, 80)
RedColor = RGB(192, 0, 0)
BlackColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)


'Select cell

Range("B15:EC25").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
Range("B15:EC25").VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
Range("B15:EC25").Select

'Loop the cells
For x = 15 To 25
For y = 2 To 132
Cells(x, y).Select
If InStr(1, ActiveCell.Offset(15, 0), "X") Then
'Change the text color
ActiveCell.Interior.Color = GreenColor
ElseIf InStr(1, Cells(x + 28, 132), Cells(1, y)) Then
'Change the text color
ActiveCell.Interior.Color = RedColor
Else
ActiveCell.Font.Color = BlackColor
End If
Next y
Next x

End Sub

Cells(x + 28, 132), Cells(1, y)

According to your example from the initial post the numbers should be:
Rich (BB code):
Cells(x + 27, y), Cells(14, y)

Then try:
VBA Code:
Sub changeTextColor()
  Dim GreenColor As Long, RedColor As Long, BlackColor As Long
  Dim x As Long, y As Long
  
  GreenColor = RGB(0, 176, 80)
  RedColor = RGB(192, 0, 0)
  BlackColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
  
  'Select cell
  With Range("B15:EC25")
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
    .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
    .Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
    .Font.ColorIndex = xlNone
  End With
  
  'Loop the cells
  For x = 15 To 25
    For y = 2 To 132
      If InStr(1, Cells(x + 15, y), "X") Then
        Cells(x, y).Interior.Color = GreenColor   'Change the text color
      ElseIf InStr(1, Cells(x + 27, y), Cells(14, y)) Then
        Cells(x, y).Interior.Color = RedColor     'Change the text color
      Else
        Cells(x, y).Font.Color = BlackColor
      End If
    Next y
  Next x
End Sub
