Adding More Conditional Formating
 

Hello to all,

I realized that Excel has a limit of 3 conditional formats. I read some
post on this can be coded into the sheet but they only refered to
numbers and not text. Does any know how I can code this into the my
sheet? Any help would be appreciated, Thank you


For cell range B7:B26

If text contains "POI" Color background to "Rose"

If text contains "KFI" Color background to "Tan"

If text contains "EPT" Color background to 'Light yellow"

If text contains "POC" Color background to 'Light green"

If text contains "TPN" Color background to "Pale blue"

If text contains "CII" Color background to 'Lavender"

If text contains "OS" Colot background to "Gray-25%"

If text contains "SP" Color background to 'Light orange"

If text contains "EPT" Color background to 'Light yellow"

Paste this code to sheets code

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim rng As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each rng In Range("B7:B26")

If rng.Value = "POI" Then
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
ElseIf rng.Value = "KFI" Then
rng.Font.ColorIndex = 3
ElseIf rng.Value = "EPT" Then
rng.Font.ColorIndex = 1
'and so on...
End If

Next rng

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

rgs

Thanks for the reply. I pasted this into the sheet code but the
background color wont change when I enter the codes. Does the version
of excel matter? Or is there another variation of this I can try?

Thank you

It still does not change color when I input the codes. Here is what I
have in my sheet code, did I miss something?

Thank you



Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim rng As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each rng In Range("B7:B26")

If rng.Value = "POI" Then
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 2

ElseIf rng.Value = "KFI" Then
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 3

ElseIf rng.Value = "EPT" Then
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 1

End If

Next rng

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
