Hi,

This is probably easier than I think...? Maybe this shouldn't even have been
posted under Programming.

I have a label - created from the toolbox - that shows a value (taken from a
specific cell). If this value is 50% of another cell-value, I'd like it to
change the background color to yellow. And if 100%, I'd like it to change to
red.

Like a dashboard. Same principle as Conditional Formatting for cells, but
for labels instead.

Any help is highly appreciated,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Try:
'=============
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Rng1 As Range
Dim Rng2 As Range

Set Rng1 = Me.Range("A1") '<<==== CHANGE
Set Rng2 = Me.Range("E2") '<<==== CHANGE

If Not Intersect(Target, Union(Rng1, Rng2)) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Rng1.Value / Rng2.Value
Case 1: Me.Label1.BackColor = &H80FFFF
Case 2: Me.Label1.BackColor = &HFF&
Case Else: Me.Label1.BackColor = &H8000000F
End Select
End If
End Sub
'<<=============

This is worksheet event code and should be pasted into the worksheets's code
module (not a standard module and not the workbook's ThisWorkbook module):

Right-click the worksheet's tab
Select 'View Code' from the menu and paste the code.
Alt-F11 to return to Excel.

Thanks, Norman. Great, fast reponse. The code even seems to make sense to an
amateur like me ! ;-)

I still seem to be missing out on a detail somewhere, though, as I get the
following message:

'Compile Error: Method or datamember not found'
and then a highlighting of '.Label1' in the line Case 1: Me.Label1.BackColor
= &H80FFFF ?

I thought this was regards the naming of my label, but it is called Label1 -
or how can I be sure. I'm just looking in the upper-left corner when
highlighting the label and it says 'Label1'?

Jan

Hi Jan,

If you wish, you may send me your workbook:

norman_jones@NOSPAMbtconnectDOTcom

(Delete "NOSPAM" and replace"DOT" with a period (full stop))

By all means, delete other sheets and any sensitive data.
