Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Conditional formatting of entire row using VBA
Here's how you do it. Select your entire row. Assuming your top left cell in the entire selection is A1 (will be any one cell in the first column depending on where you started your selection) Go to conditional format, and in the options 'Use formula to determine which cells to format', write =$A1="One" and then apply the required format you need.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Conditional formatting of entire row using VBA
FJO, if you are using Excel 2003 or less, then I am afraid the solution I posted will not be very useful, as it requires more than 3 conditionals, which only Excel 2007+ supports. So in that case, Don's VBA code should suit you fine. But if you are in Excel 2007 or 2010, you could use multiple conditionals for formatting (which is what I'd prefer, it also helps in reducing VBA) Regards, Sam On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 10:35 PM, dguillett1 wrote: > Sam, I’m sorry.I opened in xl2003duh > > Don Guillett > SalesAid Software > dguille...@gmail.com > > *From:* Sam Mathai Chacko > *Sent:* Tuesday, November 15, 2011 10:51 AM > *To:* excel-macros@googlegroups.com > *Subject:* Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Conditional formatting of entire row > using VBA > > Yes Don.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Conditional formatting of entire row using VBA
Hi Don Guillett Thanks for your answer. It works perfect in the example. I then hoped I could change a few things and the it would still work, but I can not, and I can not see why. Instead of writing "One", "Two" and so on in Colum A, I would like to change this for different status, examples could be "Not started", Awating info", "Finished" I have tried to put these different status texts into the code, but then it does not work. I am new to VBA, so I am sorry if this is obvious to others. Br.

Don's code should be pasted in the sheet code module of the corresponding sheet that you are working on. Please check.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Conditional formatting of entire row using VBA
Hi Sam I am aware of the possibilities in office 2007 and later. But this sheet will be used by multiple users, someone still in office 2003. Therefore I will save it in the old office format. I knew where to put Don's code, and that worked, but I then wanted to change the words the conditional formatting depended on, but I was not able to do that in VBA. Thanks for your suggestions. I have tested those in office 2010 and they work great. I would have chosen that solution if I knew that none of the users were in office 2003.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Conditional formatting of entire row using VBA
Sam, I am one of those that does NOT like a lot of CF or even a lot of data
validation. So, why not take a lot of the work away from the user and not
clutter up the file with cf and dv. Let me know what you think of this idea to
just double click col A>select number to fill in Text and color row.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
If Target.Count > 1 Or Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim mn As Double
Dim x As String
Dim y As Long
Dim msg As String
msg = "Enter 1 for One"
msg = msg & vbLf & "Enter 2 for Two"
msg = msg & vbLf & "Enter 3 for Three"
msg = msg & vbLf & "Enter 4 for Four"
msg = msg & vbLf & "Enter 5 for Five"
mn = Application.InputBox(Prompt:=msg, Title:="Enter a Number", Type:=1)
If mn < 1 Or mn > 5 Then
MsgBox "Invalid entry", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
Select Case mn
Case 1: x = "One": y = 12
Case 2: x = "Two": y = 22
Case 3: x = "Three": y = 6
Case 4: x = "Four": y = 5
Case 5: x = "Five": y = 4
Case Else
End Select
Target = x
Rows(Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = y
End Sub

FJO, if you are using Excel 2003 or less, then I am afraid the solution I
posted will not be very useful, as it requires more than 3 conditionals, which
only Excel 2007+ supports.
So in that case, Don's VBA code should suit you fine. But if you are in Excel
2007 or 2010, you could use multiple conditionals for formatting (which is what
I'd prefer, it also helps in reducing VBA)

Sam

Yes Don. I was just showing how it is done for one conditional. I had it done
for One to Five in the attachment I had posted.

Here's how you do it. Select your entire row. Assuming your top left cell
in the entire selection is A1 (will be any one cell in the first column
depending on where you started your selection)
Go to conditional format, and in the options 'Use formula to determine
which cells to format', write =$A1="One"
and then apply the required format you need.
Check the attachment.

Hi
Can anyone help me with the VBA code for conditional formatting in
Excel.
I have af worksheet of 1000 rows with 5 colums. I have data in colum
B;E and would like Excel to format the rows in a colour depending of
what I write in colum A.
I have 5 different text imput I can chose for each row, lets call
them
"one"
"two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Five"
...just to keep this example as simple as possible.
If I write "one" in A2, I would like Excel to color Row 2 in one
color, if I write "Two" then another color and so on.
I found out how to color the cell I changed, but I would like to have
the whole row colored.
I hope someone can send me an example.
