Set the background color for a fixed range of cells
- by Count Boxer
I have VBA code in an Excel spreadsheet. It is used to set the font and background color of a cell based on the value in that cell. I am doing it in VBA instead of "Conditional Formatting" because I have more than 3 conditions. The code is:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range, d As Range, fc As Long, bc As Long, bf As Boolean
Set d = Intersect(Range("A:K"), Target)
If d Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For Each c In d
If c >= Date And c <= Date + 5 Then
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 3
Else
Select Case c
Case "ABC"
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 5
Case 1, 3, 5, 7
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 1
Case "D", "E", "F"
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 10
Case "1/1/2009"
fc = 2: fb = True: bc = 45
Case "Long string"
fc = 3: fb = True: bc = 1
Case Else
fc = 1: fb = False: bc = xlNone
End Select
End If
c.Font.ColorIndex = fc
c.Font.Bold = fb
c.Interior.ColorIndex = bc
c.Range("A1:D1").Interior.ColorIndex = bc
Next
End Sub
The problem is in the "c.Range" line. It always uses the current cell as "A" and then goes four cells to the right. I want it to start in the "real" cell "A" of the current row and go to the "real" cell "D" of the current row. Basically, I want a fixed range and not a dynamic one.
