Help - I want to update values in a column, but this is with conditions in
other cells e.g.
A B C
1 blue Fred
2 black Jim
3 blue Steve

change blue to red in column A, where content of B = Fred

Can this be done?

For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp).Row
If Cells(i,"A").Value = "blue" And Cells(i,"B").Value = "Fred") Then
Cells(I,"A").Value = "red"
End If
Next i

I get an error message when I compile:

Invalid outside procedure

You have to put it in a sub

Sub myMacro()

'the code

End Sub

Hi,

I've tried this code, but it doesn't seem to work. It will compile and run,
but nothing happens. I'd expect cell A1 to change from blue to red, but it
remains blue. Any more help?!

Thanks.

If you have Blue or BLUE or BLue or BLUe, it won't work the way you want.

In VBA, upper and lower case characters are not considered the same.

Maybe...

Sub myMacro()

For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp).Row
If lcase(Cells(i,"A").Value)= "blue" _
And lcase(Cells(i,"B").Value) = "fred") Then
Cells(I,"A").Value = "red"
End If
Next i

end sub
