Using 3 coloured Cells to Format a 4th Cell
Please can you help me with the following problem:
I have three cells: L5, Q5 and V5, which when I colour green, then I would like for cell AD5 to be automatically coloured green and a number 1 be placed in it. If on the other hand cells L5, Q5, V5 are any other colour, then cell AD5 should be coloured red and a zero to be placed in it. Please can you help me to devise a method of doing this. Many thanks for your help and support, |

You will have to make use of VBA to acheive this...Right click on the
sheetView and paste the below code. If you are new to macros set the Security level to low/medium in (Tools|Macro|Security). The color referred here is 'Bright Green'. Change the color index as needed. Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False If Range("L5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 And _ Range("Q5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 And _ Range("V5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Then Range("AD5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Range("AD5") = 1 Else Range("AD5").Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Range("AD5") = 0 End If Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Ra" wrote: Please can you help me with the following problem: I have three cells: L5, Q5 and V5, which when I colour green, then I would like for cell AD5 to be automatically coloured green and a number 1 be placed in it.

Using 3 coloured Cells to Format a 4th Cell
Jacob
Many thanks for your help. I have placed the macro under module1, however, even though the cells are green (?) I obtain a red in cell AD5 with a zero. Just one point the green cells for L5, Q5, V5 are generated using conditional formatting. I am not sure if this is a bright green (4). Perhaps, this is what is generating the red in cell AD5. How can I find out if I am using the right colour? Thank you. "Jacob Skaria" wrote: You will have to make use of VBA to acheive this...Right click on the sheetView and paste the below code.

Using 3 coloured Cells to Format a 4th Cell
To find out the right color, first color the cell Q5. Launch VBE using
Alt+F11 and from menu ViewImmediate Window Or (Ctrl+G). In immediate window type ?Range("Q5").Interior.ColorIndex and Enter; that will return the color index. In the below code change all 4 to this new color index. The change happens during the selection change event. Try and feedback.

What you also have to remember is if you are using conditional formatting to colour L5, Q5 and V5 then this will not be picked up by the code given. Ra;374917 Wrote: Jacob Many thanks for your help.

Using 3 coloured Cells to Format a 4th Cell
Hi Jacob
The colour is correct. It is number 4. However, I am still unable to get the conditionally formatted (green (4) coloured cells) L5, Q5, V5 to be picked up in cell AD5 and get a result of green with a number 1 in it. In addition, I want all the cells below L5, Q5, V5 to be applied to the cells below AD5, in the same way. I hope this makes sense.

Using 3 coloured Cells to Format a 4th Cell
Hi Jacob,
I am really sorry but I cannot get this to work. Let me try to spell out exactly what I am doing, please bear with me: 1. I am using excel 2007 2. Macros are enabled. 3. I have taken your code and using the "View Code" on sheet1, I have placed the code in the opened macro window. 4. In the top of the macro window, left box = Worsheet, in the right box= SelectionChange 5. I have saved the macro in the window using "CTRL S". 6. I exit and return to sheet1. 7. On clicking on AD5, I have a red cell without any numbers in the cell. Further information: L5, Q5 and V5 have condtional formatting which generate 3 green cells and three dates. So this should create a green cell in AD5 with a number 1 in it. As I said, I am getting a red cell in AD5 with a zero. I would like to apply this macro to the rest of the cells underneath L5,Q5,V5 and AD5; hopefully, if I can get the above resolved. In addition, I have several other macros running under "ThisWorkbook". I hope this is a better explanation of what is going on. Many thanks once again for your help and support.

Using 3 coloured Cells to Format a 4th Cell
You will know if you are using validation as when you click the cell you get a dropdown arrow/box appear, anyway, are you using conditional formatting to colour the original cells? Ra;375947 Wrote: Hi Simon As far as I know, I am not using data validation on those cells. Will that make a difference? To be honest I don't know whether I am or not! Many thanks for your help, "Simon Lloyd" wrote: As i pointed out earlier the code given will not pick up condtional formatting, are you also using data validation on those cells? (L5, Q5, V5) Ra;375816 Wrote: Hi Jacob, I am really sorry but I cannot get this to work. Let me try to spell out exactly what I am doing, please bear with me: 1. I am using excel 2007 2. Macros are enabled. 3. I have taken your code and using the "View Code" on sheet1, I have placed the code in the opened macro window. 4. In the top of the macro window, left box = Worsheet, in the right box= SelectionChange 5. I have saved the macro in the window using "CTRL S". 6. I exit and return to sheet1. 7. On clicking on AD5, I have a red cell without any numbers in the cell. Further information: L5, Q5 and V5 have condtional formatting which generate 3 green cells and three dates. So this should create a green cell in AD5 with a number 1 in it. As I said, I am getting a red cell in AD5 with a zero. I would like to apply this macro to the rest of the cells underneath L5,Q5,V5 and AD5; hopefully, if I can get the above resolved. In addition, I have several other macros running under "ThisWorkbook". I hope this is a better explanation of what is going on. Many thanks once again for your help and support.

If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Ra" wrote: Hi Jacob The colour is correct. It is number 4. However, I am still unable to get the conditionally formatted (green (4) coloured cells) L5, Q5, V5 to be picked up in cell AD5 and get a result of green with a number 1 in it. In addition, I want all the cells below L5, Q5, V5 to be applied to the cells below AD5, in the same way. I hope this makes sense. Many thanks, "Jacob Skaria" wrote: To find out the right color, first color the cell Q5. Launch VBE using Alt+F11 and from menu ViewImmediate Window Or (Ctrl+G). In immediate window type ?Range("Q5").Interior.ColorIndex and Enter; that will return the color index. In the below code change all 4 to this new color index. The change happens during the selection change event. Try and feedback. If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Ra" wrote: Jacob Many thanks for your help. I have placed the macro under module1, however, even though the cells are green (?) I obtain a red in cell AD5 with a zero. Just one point the green cells for L5, Q5, V5 are generated using conditional formatting. I am not sure if this is a bright green (4). Perhaps, this is what is generating the red in cell AD5. How can I find out if I am using the right colour? Thank you. "Jacob Skaria" wrote: You will have to make use of VBA to acheive this...Right click on the sheetView and paste the below code. If you are new to macros set the Security level to low/medium in (Tools|Macro|Security). The color referred here is 'Bright Green'. Change the color index as needed. Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False If Range("L5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 And _ Range("Q5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 And _ Range("V5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Then Range("AD5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Range("AD5") = 1 Else Range("AD5").Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Range("AD5") = 0 End If Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Ra" wrote: Please can you help me with the following problem: I have three cells: L5, Q5 and V5, which when I colour green, then I would like for cell AD5 to be automatically coloured green and a number 1 be placed in it. If on the other hand cells L5, Q5, V5 are any other colour, then cell AD5 should be coloured red and a zero to be placed in it. Please can you help me to devise a method of doing this.
