VBA for Excel

[Naveen]

Dear All,

Pls help with VBA code for the following case.

Similar to conditional formating, when a particular text or value is entered
in worksheet the color index to change. I know we can do it in conditional
format, but I need around 7 conditions.
Thanks in advance for immediate help.

Here is just an example using cell A1. When a value is calculated, the
background color of the cell is set to the colorindex of the value. Put the
following event macro in the worksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Set t = Range("A1")
With t
If .Value > 56 Then Exit Sub
.Interior.ColorIndex = .Value
End With
End Sub

This will work if the value in A1 is determined by a formula.
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
