Code Question
While searching the discussion group for a solution to overcome the
conditional formatting limit of 3, I found an entry by Gord Dibben. It is a source code entry that I was hoping would change the color of the text to the given value when my VLOOKUP returned certain results. Specifically I am entering a number and VLOOKUP returns one of twelve colors, I want the color of the text to match the word that was retrieved. It does not work as entered in VB as follows: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim Num As Long Dim rng As Range Dim vRngInput As Range Set vRngInput = Intersect(Target, Range("H6")) If vRngInput Is Nothing Then Exit Sub On Error GoTo endit Application.EnableEvents = False For Each rng In vRngInput 'Determine the color Select Case UCase(rng.Value) Case Is = "BLUE": Num = 5 'blue Case Is = "ORANGE": Num = 45 'orange Case Is = "GREEN": Num = 10 'green Case Is = "BROWN": Num = 53 'brown Case Is = "SLATE": Num = 15 'slate Case Is = "WHITE": Num = 1 'black Case Is = "RED": Num = 3 'red Case Is = "BLACK": Num = 1 'black Case Is = "YELLOW": Num = 6 'yellow Case Is = "VIOLET": Num = 54 'violet Case Is = "ROSE": Num = 38 'rose Case Is = "AQUA": Num = 42 'aqua End Select 'Apply the color rng.Interior.ColorIndex = Num Next rng endit: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub |

Code Question
I think I know why it does not work, I do not know how to make it work... In
cell H6 (where the results are supplied) the cell contents remain a VLOOKUP formula even though I 'see' "BLUE" "ORANGE" etc... the cell is still a formula thus VBA does not see a qualifier and therefore will not change the color of the text... Does this make sense? If so how do I make it work? "FP Novice" wrote: It does not change the color of the text, the color of the text remains the same after every lookup.

Code Question
Thanks Dave,
I did get it to work, I had to delete my formula and re-enter it and voila it worked. The only problem that I have now is that I have two cells H6 and J6 that will return colors at the same time (fiber optic binder color & fiber strand color) do I simply change the me.range from ("H6") to ("H^:J6")? or is it a different entry than me.range? Also it is changing the cell color and not the text (font) color which is what I would like to have... Thanks to the both of you for some great assistance..

Code Question
At the risk of driving you all crazy, I got it to work using Gord's suggested
string. The reason that it would not work was due to protecting the sheet, once protection was removed I was fine. New trouble is this: Dim rng As Range Set rng = Me.Range("H6,J6") On Error GoTo endit Since I am looking for two different results upon every lookup, H6 (color1), and J6 (color2) I need two cells to change different colors. As it stands now both cells change to the same color. If I lead the range with H6 they both change to the color of the returned value in H6, if I lead the range with J6 both cells change to the color of the returned value in J6. I need them to change respective to their own returned results. |
