How to color characters REG, GREEN, YELLOW in the same cell?
I have seen the VB code that will count cells with a specific color.
I have seen the VB code that will set the font color of all characters in a cell. What is the VB code that sets the colour of individual characters in a cell? For example: What is the VB code to set 5 characters GREEN, 2 characters YELLOW and 3 characters RED in the same cell? Why would I want to do this?... I have 10 project deliverable tasks grouped with the summary task at the top. Each deliverable task has a status colour assigned (GREEN, YELLOW, RED). The group summary line has a status cell filled with 10 # characters. Each # character is to be coloured the colour of one of the 10 deliverable task's status. This results in what looks like a colour bar showing the status of all the tasks in the group. Now, I manually count the number of GREEN, YELLOW and RED cells in a range. I manually select the correct number of # characters in the summary status cell and color them GREEN, YELLOW and RED as required. This produces a visual color bar on the summary line.... manually. (I actually have 112 tasks across 11 function areas and this manual approach is slow, tedious and error prone.) How can I automate this with VB code? Thank you for any suggestions. Bob |

Adjust start, length & colourindex number to suit you needs
ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=5).Font.ColorIndex = 50 ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=6, Length:=2).Font.ColorIndex = 6 ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=8, Length:=3).Font.ColorIndex = -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
