Conditional Formatting Icons
Is there a way to create a custom Icon under conditional formatting. I am
trying to put a conditional format where if a number is between a certain range it will assign a gold star to that cell. Is there any other way to do this? Thanks |

Coolness,
No conditional formatting will do that, but you could use a macro: this assumes that the sheet has goldstar shape named "GoldStar", and the gold stars are placed on cells in column E that are greater than 95... Sub PutGoldStars() Dim myCell As Range Dim myR As Range Dim mySh As Shape Set mySh = ActiveSheet.Shapes("GoldStar") Set myR = Range("E1:E100") For Each myCell In myR If myCell.Value 95 Then On Error Resume Next ActiveSheet.Shapes("Star" & myCell.Address).Delete mySh.Copy myCell.Select ActiveSheet.Paste Selection.ShapeRange.Left = myCell.Left Selection.ShapeRange.Top = myCell.Top Selection.Name = "Star" & myCell.Address End If Next myCell End Sub HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Coolness" wrote in message ...

I know I soud stupid, but how do I name a shape, so it knows what to put in
the cell? It doesn't recognize Gold Star. How can I create and name that shape?

Coolness,
Use the drawing toolbar to insert the star shape. Then, select the shape by clicking on it, and type the name GoldStar into the name box above cell A1. When you first select the shape, the name box will show the shape's original name, along the lines of "AutoShape 1" HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Coolness" wrote in message ...

I have one additional thing Im wondering if you can assist me with. What I'm
trying to do it set up a tracking chart where certain performance assigns a different symbol, i.e. If someone beats both last years number and this years goal, it will assign a GOLDSTAR in that cell. If they beat last years number, but not this years goal, it will assign a black dot in that cell. If they don't beat last years number it will assign a red dot. I will be adding additional spreadsheets that contain that data, i.e. last years number, this years goal and their actual number achieved. I am hoping that this macro can look at that data and determine which symbol to assign. Will I need multiple macros or will one take care of it? I tried to just copy the goldstar macro formula again and named a different symbol with a different value, but it gives me errors, so I don't know how to make the formula flow. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much! "Bernie Deitrick" wrote: Coolness, Use the drawing toolbar to insert the star shape.

Coolness,
You don't really discuss worksheet structure, but below is an example where the symbol used is based on values in two columns, C& D. (Assumes you have Goldstar, Silverstar, Bronzestar, and Blackdot shapes on the activesheet.) Your comparison can be just about anything - the limits (95,90, etc) can also be cells, either constant cells or cells on the same row as the cell needing the symbol. If you need help with specifics, repost with specific info about where the values are relative to the cell needing the symbol, and which comparisons are important. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP Sub PutStars() Dim myCell As Range Dim myR As Range Dim mySh As Shape Set myR = Range("C5:C18") For Each myCell In myR On Error Resume Next ActiveSheet.Shapes("Symbol" & myCell.Address).Delete If myCell.Value = 95 And myCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = 95 Then Set mySh = ActiveSheet.Shapes("GoldStar") mySh.Copy GoTo PasteShape End If If myCell.Value = 95 And myCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = 90 Then Set mySh = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Silverstar") mySh.Copy GoTo PasteShape End If If myCell.Value = 90 And myCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = 90 Then Set mySh = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Bronzestar") mySh.Copy GoTo PasteShape End If If myCell.Value < 90 Or myCell.Offset(0, 1).Value < 90 Then Set mySh = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Blackdot") mySh.Copy GoTo PasteShape End If PasteShape: myCell.Select ActiveSheet.Paste Selection.ShapeRange.Left = myCell.Left Selection.ShapeRange.Top = myCell.Top Selection.Name = "Symbol" & myCell.Address Next myCell End Sub "Coolness" wrote in message ...

With you assistance I have been able to do just about everything I need. I
have one additional issue. The spreadsheet will need to reference the range of ("c9,C11,C13, etc... when I got to like E95 I received an error, I guess there were too many numbers in that formula. The spreadsheet is set-up to reference every other cell, because of spacing, etc. Is there a way to have the macro do nothing if the cell does not contain a value? If so it will not try to put something in the blank cell. Thanks again for your assistance.

Coolness,
There are two ways to address this: Change PasteShape: myCell.Select ActiveSheet.Paste Selection.ShapeRange.Left = myCell.Left Selection.ShapeRange.Top = myCell.Top Selection.Name = "Symbol" & myCell.Address Next myCell to GoTo NoShape PasteShape: myCell.Select ActiveSheet.Paste Selection.ShapeRange.Left = myCell.Left Selection.ShapeRange.Top = myCell.Top Selection.Name = "Symbol" & myCell.Address NoShape: Next myCell This will make the code skip the pasting of the shape unless the values meet your exact requirement. OR Change Set myR = Range("c9,c11:E95") For Each myCell In myR To Set myR = Range("c9,c11:E95") For Each myCell In myR If myCell.Row Mod 2 = 0 Then GoTo NoShape and put the NoShape: label in the same place as the above example. Of course, if you need to skip column D, that would be another slight change (I wasn't sure excatly what you meant by "reference every other cell") HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Coolness" wrote in message ...
