custom function color

[art]

Hello:

I would like to make a custon funtion that will make the color of the cell
one number different then the selected range. Lets say the formula will work
something like this in cell b1: =MyColor(A1) and if the RGB color in cell a1
is red 10 green 0 yellow 0 then cell b1 should be red 11 green 0 yellow 0.

Please help.

Thanks

So how about a vba modul that will change the colors of the selected cells to
one diffedrent rgb color by a scroll bar? Like range a1:E50 which all contain
certain colors in each cell, by scrolling the scroll bar will change the
color from each to a diiferent color like a1 is r = 10 g = 0 y = 0 then r=11
g=0 y=0.

Here's some basic code you can adapt for your specific needs:

Sub IncrementColors()
Dim R As Range
Dim C As Long
For Each R In Range("A1:A5")
If R.Interior.ColorIndex > 0 Then
C = (R.Interior.ColorIndex + 1) Mod 57
R.Interior.ColorIndex = C
End If
Next R
End Sub


This changes the background fill color "up" one value in the built-in
color pallet, "rolling over" from 56 back to 1. R.Interior.ColorIndex
changes the background fill. Use R.Font.ColorIndex to change font
color.

The code only changes that have a specific color assigned to them.
(ColorIndex > 0). It doesn't change the default background or font
color (ColorIndex < 0).
