CELL COLOR

[dennisdjones]

Have existing Row colors from a code am using from "Mudface"

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If UCase(Target) = "e" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
If UCase(Target) = "E" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
If UCase(Target) = "u" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
If UCase(Target) = "U" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
If UCase(Target) = "p" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
If UCase(Target) = "P" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
If UCase(Target) = "w" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
If UCase(Target) = "W" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
If UCase(Target) = "O" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 46
If UCase(Target) = "o" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 46
If UCase(Target) = "a" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
If UCase(Target) = "A" Then Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 2

End Sub

Have tried some of the traveling color codes, but they clear the existing color formats as they cross that row.

Anymore ideas would be a great plus.

Thanks

There are two ways of doing this in the thread attached. If your selection is in a colored row using the second method, you'll loose pre-exisiting interior colors. The first method clears all interior colors on the entire sheet.

They are both worksheet event procedures, you'll want to right click on the sheet in question, select view code, and paste one of the procedures in this sheet code module

Hope this helps.

You can use either the Worksheet_SelectionChange or Workbook_SheetSelectionChange events. Something like this:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    Sh.Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
    If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
        With Rows(Target.Row).Interior
            .ColorIndex = 6
            .Pattern = xlSolid
        End With
    End If
End Sub

(If you use the Worksheet_SelectionChange event, just change sh.cells to cells).

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Two questions :

1.Is it possible that the color-row ended by the last used column and not to column 256

2.I have several colors in my sheet and do not want to delete them.
Many thanks for your time

Can somebody give a solution on this?
Thanks

Hi mate

i did not really like the code (no offence boys - you know me well enough to know im not having goes) that was close! I could see issues popping up soon enough.

see to me colour rows by condition is fine but needs tailoring, OK you want on cell change as the guys have shown this will be only dont by target method, and slow the sheet down a little as it runs the code each time the active cell changes.

but what is the far right cell, that is the last always last never to to further right cell, say a to z is always used AB is NEVER used z would be the column im looking for .

OK ill try to re write this, have a look at my feed, look at the bottom, i have taken care of this in conditional formating, as you ask here now.. that sort of thing.

Jack, your link is broken, am curious though. In the interim, I'll stick with a worksheet event, although as Russell mentions, and for multiple sheets, you'll want the Workbook_SheetSelectionChange procedure, which goes in the 'ThisWorkbook' module.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

Dim cl As Range

Static n As Range

On Error GoTo 1

For Each cl In Range("a" & n.Row, n)

    If cl.Interior.ColorIndex = 36 Then _

    cl.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

Next cl

For Each cl In Range("a" & Target.Row, Target)

    If cl.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then _

    cl.Interior.ColorIndex = 36

Next cl

1: Set n = Target

End Sub

This is a worksheet event, it needs to go in a worksheet module. Right-click on the sheet, view code and paste the code.

It won't overwrite any color except index 36: "Mellow Yellow"

Jack being simple try this: put the the required sheet

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
With Target.EntireRow.Interior
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
End Sub

In current cell, would like to use a temporary color of the entire row that would travel up & down as I go to each cell (help to keep a better visual location of where at in the spreadsheet)

Hi dennisdjones:
I know you have plenty of information now on a VBA solution. I am proposing here a formula based CONDITIONAL FORMATTING that should meet your requirements.

Formula Is ... =and(cell("contents")<>"",row()=cell("row")) ... FORMAT|PATTERN ... color, say, green

Please keep in mind I have not tested it thoroughly -- but please report back how it behaves for you and let us take it from there.

Regards!

In line with Jacks code, I use this as a highlighter. Select a cell once and it is colored, re-select it and it is un-colored. You can select as many cells as you want. To color a whole row just select the row header number! You must select out of the current selection then re-select the colored selection to turn off the highlight. The code works on the "View sheet code" page. Hope this also helps. JSW

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Selection) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 34 Then
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Else
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 34
End If
End If
End Sub
