I have a perplexing question. It’s not a problem because I can work with the results, its just understanding why it will not work with a modification in code that should return the same results but doesn’t.



This is my base code…..

VBA Code:
Dim WS As Worksheet

Set WS = ShGE03

With WS

Dim SDR_E As Long: SDR_E = 5 'StartDataRow_(column)E = ColorName

Dim LDR_E As Long: LDR_E = .Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row ' LastDataRow_(column)E = ColorName 'do not offset for blanks, will affect some code for (missing & duplicates)

Dim Rowdata As Long '''For Rowdata = SDR_E To LDR_E 'for reference

Dim TextChange As Long

TextChange = .Range("V5").Value

End With



I have one code that works well…..

VBA Code:
With WS

Call TurnOffStuff 'Turns off background Excel Functions that might interfere with calculations

For Rowdata = SDR_E To LDR_E

Dim RANGE_E As Range

Set RANGE_E = .Range("E" & Rowdata)

Dim RANGE_F As Range

Set RANGE_F = .Range("F" & Rowdata)

Dim RANGE_G As Range

Set RANGE_G = .Range("G" & Rowdata)

Dim RANGE_H As Range

Set RANGE_H = .Range("H" & Rowdata)

Dim RANGE_M As Range

Set RANGE_M = .Range("M" & Rowdata)



RANGE_E.Interior.Color = RGB(RANGE_F.Value, RANGE_G.Value, RANGE_H.Value)

If RANGE_M.Value >= TextChange Then

RANGE_E.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0) 'black

Else

RANGE_E.Font.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255) 'white

End If

Next

Call TurnOnStuff 'Turns on background Excel Functions that might interfere with calculations

End With



This code works well in that it gives the actual cell color based on values in F, G, H. Such as this screenshot shows…..





But if I change my code to the LDR_E format it doesn’t work even though I believe it’s the same results….

VBA Code:
With WS

Call TurnOffStuff 'Turns off background Excel Functions that might interfere with calculations

Dim RANGE_E As Range

Set RANGE_E = .Range("E5:E" & LDR_E)

Dim RANGE_F As Range

Set RANGE_F = .Range(“F5:F" & LDR_E)

Dim RANGE_G As Range

Set RANGE_G = .Range(“G5:G" & LDR_E)

Dim RANGE_H As Range

Set RANGE_H = .Range (“H5:H" & LDR_E)

Dim RANGE_M As Range

Set RANGE_M = .Range(“M5:M" & LDR_E)

RANGE_E.Interior.Color = RGB(RANGE_F.Value, RANGE_G.Value, RANGE_H.Value)

If RANGE_M.Value >= TextChange Then

RANGE_E.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0) 'black

Else

RANGE_E.Font.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255) 'white

End If

Next

Call TurnOnStuff 'Turns on background Excel Functions that might interfere with calculations

End With


Why will this not work, all I get is blank column E?

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Because the first code is using a single cell value for each part of the RGB while the 2nd code code is trying to put an array of values in each part of the RGB
