If Then Conditions

[Guest]

I am trying to write a VBA code that changes the font color of a date if it is a specific month. So far I have been using the If Then function, but everytime I run the macro it changes to the first color in the VBA code and not a different color for every month

Can anyone help me

Thank you

Rudy

Generally, the month function will see a blank cell or a cell with a zero as
January. This might be the root of your problem.

You need to check and make sure the cell isn't blank.

It would be simpler to use conditional formatting.

This is the macro I used

If Date >= 1 / 1 / 4 <= 1 / 31 / 4 The
Range("A1:G40").Selec
Selection.Font.ColorIndex =
End I
If Date >= 2 / 1 / 4 <= 2 / 29 / 4 The
Range("A1:G40").Selec
Selection.Font.ColorIndex =
End I
If Date >= 3 / 1 / 4 <= 3 / 31 / 4 The
Range("A1:G40").Selec
Selection.Font.ColorIndex =
End I
If Date >= 4 / 1 / 4 <= 4 / 30 / 4 The
Range("A1:G40").Selec
Selection.Font.ColorIndex =
End I
End Sub

Excel sees 1/1/4 as 1 divided by 1 = 1, then that 1 divided by 4 = 0.24

A date constant in Excel is expressed as

#1/1/04#

or
#1/1/2004#

also you have to test each condition separately

If Date >= #1/1/2004# and Date <= #1/31/2004# then

however, it is easier to do

if month(date) = 1 then

if you are using a sequential pattern

Range("A1:G40").Interior.ColorIndex = month(Date) + 2

Hi Rudy
try the following:
Sub foo()
With Range("A1:G40").Font
Select Case Date
Case DateSerial(2004, 1, 1) To DateSerial(2004, 1, 31)
.ColorIndex = 3
Case DateSerial(2004, 2, 1) To DateSerial(2004, 2, 29)
.ColorIndex = 4
Case DateSerial(2004, 3, 1) To DateSerial(2004, 3, 31)
.ColorIndex = 5
Case DateSerial(2004, 4, 1) To DateSerial(2004, 4, 30)
.ColorIndex = 6
Case DateSerial(2004, 1, 1) To DateSerial(2004, 3, 31)
.ColorIndex = 3
End Select
End With
End Sub
