Fill cell based on cell value
I have a number in column A and a number in column B. If column B is less
than column A, I want to fill the cell with a color. I tried conditional formatting but it won't let me apply the formatting to all the cells in column B at one time, I have to do each cell individually. Is there a way (macro, formula?) that I can apply this rule to the entire column? Thanks! |

Fill cell based on cell value
use paste special with format xlPasteFormats
Range("B1").Copy Range("B1:B100").PasteSpecial(xlPasteFormats) "Kesbutler" wrote: I have a number in column A and a number in column B.

Fill cell based on cell value
Thanks. Is there a way to have it automatically shade without having to
manually run the macro?

Fill cell based on cell value
I was wondering if there was a way to have column B automatically update as
data is updated? One week it might be less than and the next it might not. "Kesbutler" wrote: Thanks. Is there a way to have it automatically shade without having to manually run the macro?

Fill cell based on cell value
You could always put the macro in under an open event or change event

Fill cell based on cell value
Use a worksheet change
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Columns("B")) Is Nothing Then Range("B1").Copy Target.PasteSpecial (xlPasteFormats) End If End Sub "Kesbutler" wrote: I was wondering if there was a way to have column B automatically update as data is updated?

Fill cell based on cell value
this sort of worked but it compared all the rows in column B with the first
row in column A instead of incrementing. I need the following. If any cellin column B is less than the corresponding cellin column A then fill cell. row A B 1 1 2 not shaded 2 2 1 shaded 3 5 4 shaded 4 4 5 not shaded Thanks much!

You conditional format formula must have a dollar sign in the formula.
Remove the dollar sign in the conditional format formula in B1. "Kesbutler" wrote: this sort of worked but it compared all the rows in column B with the first row in column A instead of incrementing.
