Conditional Formatting via VBA in Excel 2007
New since version 2007 of Excel is the posibility to have conditional
formatting based on cells with specific text beginning with some predifined text. This is done by selecting Conditional Formatting (Home tab) Manage rules... Select "New Rule..." in the "Conditional Formatting Rules Manager" window. In the "Newt Formatting Rule" windows choose the rule type "Format only cell that contain" and edit the rule description by choosing "Specific Text" in the left drop-dowm box and "beginning with" in the right drop-down box. Give the text to check on in the textfield and click "OK" Now the same conditional Formatting should be added via VBA but here's my problem. It seems there is no information on the internet already. Can someone help me further? -- MrWinelover... |
