I don't know if i understood correctly, but try this one - I plugged
in also a bit of code that finds points in the chart with the same value is in the cell and paints the point in the same color as the cell. There are some un-elegant things in the code (like, it reads chart values multiple times but actually it doesn't need to - once would suffice) but it works and I don't think it should cause you problems. Sub ColorTheSameValueCells() Const myColumn As String = "A" '<--column whose cells to be compared Dim RangeToCheck As Range Dim oneCell As Range, oneCell2 As Range Dim currentValue As Long '<--assumed that values are always of LONG type Dim currentColorIndex As Long '<--holds color index Dim chartValues(), arrNdx As Long Set RangeToCheck = ActiveSheet.Columns("A"). _ SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) '<-- will loop through every _ cell in the column that contains a value RangeToCheck.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone 'Reset color to none For Each oneCell In RangeToCheck If oneCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then currentValue = oneCell.Value On Error GoTo RunOutOfColors: currentColorIndex = currentColorIndex + 1 '<-- might _ run out of colors if there are too many different values On Error GoTo 0 'paint the cells For Each oneCell2 In RangeToCheck With oneCell2 If .Value = currentValue Then .Interior.ColorIndex = currentColorIndex End If End With Next oneCell2 'paint the dots on the chart With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart.SeriesCollection (1) chartValues = .Values For arrNdx = LBound(chartValues) To UBound(chartValues) If chartValues(arrNdx) = currentValue Then .Points(arrNdx).MarkerForegroundColorIndex = currentColorIndex .Points(arrNdx).MarkerBackgroundColorIndex = currentColorIndex End If Next arrNdx End With End If Next oneCell Exit Sub RunOutOfColors: oneCell.Select MsgBox "Run out of colors on the selected cell!", vbExclamation End Sub |
