How to accomplish?

S

steve grosz

Ok here's my situation. I'm not much of a VB programmer, but wanted to try
something.

We generate a worksheet once a week that has 4 columns.

Col1 - name
Col2 - last weeks position (a number value)
Col3 - this weeks position (a number value)
Col4 - size

I would like to compare col 2 & 3, and if col1 is larger, display a image,
if col2 is large, display a different image in a cell on the same sheet.

How can I accomplish this? Loop through all the users, compare the values
of col2 & 3 for each of them and display a image in a seperate cell, say
col 5??

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks!
Stev

Steve Grosz,

You could use the following VBA, I was considering a couple of things.
First of all, there are no blanks in Column A, which the the NAME column.
Second, that Columns 1 - 4 are A,B,C,D. Please amend the code as necessary
for your needs, or repost for more help.

Public Sub Sub_1()
Dim x As Long
x = Excel.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Columns("A:A"))
For y = 2 To x
Range("A1").Cells(y, 5).Formula = "=IF(C" & y & ">B" & y & ",TRUE,FALSE)"
Next
End Sub

You can filter on Column 5 for TRUE to see the Last Week to This Week Changes.

Hello Thomas [PBD],

Ok, that sort of does what I would like. I would like to check to see if
b & c are the same, b is higher than c, or c higher than b, and display an
image indicating if there has been a increase (b higher than c) decrease
(c higher than b) or no change.....

Thanks!

Steve Grosz,

You would like it to create an "image", by image you mean a picture? That
would be much harder to do as you would have to define an Image Object and
have it relate to the reference point in the book. You could always change
the IF statement that I used to have it say "B > C" or "B < C" or "No
Change". Creating a picture wouldn't make the information usable, unless you
are using it just to look at.

Here is another look at it, this will place B>C, B<C, No Change in the cells:

Public Sub Sub_1()

Dim x As Long
x = Excel.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Columns("A:A"))

For y = 2 To x
If Cells(y, 2).Value > Cells(y, 3).Value Then
Cells(y, 5).Value = "B>C"
Else
If Cells(y, 2).Value < Cells(y, 3).Value Then
Cells(y, 5).Value = "B<C"
Else
If Cells(y, 2).Value = Cells(y, 3).Value Then
Cells(y, 5).Value = "No Change"
End If
End If
End If
Next

End Sub
