Cell Shading Colour Property
Hi
The first function gives a cell's shading colour-index property and the second converts it to a description. Has anyone the list of indexes and a colour description so I no longer need the Else statement near the end. I wnated to cover the basic colours in the Format cells tab, 40+ I suppose Thanks Tim PS hope the US colleagues will forgive "colour" variant spelling :) Function ShowColourIndexNo(Cell As Object) As Integer ShowColourIndexNo = Cell.Interior.ColorIndex End Function Function ConvertColorIndexToText(Cell As Object) As String Dim Temp As Variant Select Case Cell.Value Case -4142 Temp = "No colour" Case 3 Temp = "Bright red" Case 4 Temp = "Bright green" Case 5 Temp = "Dark blue" Case 34 Temp = "Light blue" Case 35 Temp = "Light green" Case Else Temp = "Non-specified" End Select ConvertColorIndexToText = Temp End Function |

I don't think there are "official" names for all the colors, but if you
copy/paste this code line into the Immediate window and execute it (you can also but a Sub/EndSub around it and execute it as a macro if you want), the code will fill the first 56 rows with the 56 available color indexes... you can look at them and decide on the names to describe them yourself. For X = 1 To 56: Cells(X, "A").Interior.ColorIndex = X: Next -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Tim Childs" wrote in message ...

Cell Shading Colour Property
I meant to point out that the colors assigned to the various color indexes
are not "fixed"... they can be changed. For example, if you executed this line... ActiveWorkbook.Colors(3)=vbGreen the Red color normally associated with ColorIndex 3 would change to green. You can set it back to its red color by executing this line... ActiveWorkbook.Colors(3)=vbRed The point is, the colors a user sees for a given ColorIndex might be different than the color you see; so, naming the colors as you are doing might possibly lead to misinterpretations. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...

Cell Shading Colour Property
Here's a manual way to get all the color names in the default color pallet
for Excel 2003: Draw a rectangle on a sheet and double-click it to bring up the format dialog. Click on the Fill color drop-down so that all the fill colors show up. Hover the pointer over each color swatch until the color name comes up. Now all you have to do is associate each color swatch with its color index, which is an exercise that I will leave to the reader. Well, maybe not - you can get the color index of each swatch by recording a macro in which you draw that rectangle, and then set its color to each of the fill colors in the pallet. You will then have a list of the color index values. HTH, Eric "Tim Childs" wrote: Hi The first function gives a cell's shading colour-index property and the second converts it to a description.

Hi Gord
that's just the ticket! thanks v much. pl can you just explain the volatile at the beginning: I did not have that in my basic function and I do get some problems (e.g. get the #NAME erro initially and have to force recalculation) when copying the function to other workbooks (after moving the module into the other book, of course) finally, why do plain cells have an index of -4142 not a small positive integer? thanks Tim "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...

Since changing the color in a cell does not trigger calculation the
"volatile" is superfluous. The originator of the code used it and I have not bothered to remove.
