Excel Vba Color Part of A Column 27374 Md2ih9

This document provides code to color part of a column in Excel based on data in a row. The original code colors a row based on data in a column. The solution tweaks the code to instead color a column based on data in a row by changing the range to color from a row to a column. The code selects the case where the target cell value is "Manager" and colors cells in that column from rows 1 to 30 pale yellow.

Excel/VBA - Color part of a column

Excel/VBA - Color part of a column


I have code to color part of a row based on what is entered into a particular column, but i'd like to
transpose this code so that part of column is colored based on the data entered in a row. How to
tweak the below code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' When a change is made in the worksheet...
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B3:B100")) Is Nothing Then
'...to any cells from B3 to B100 (Role)...
If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
'(exit reoutine if changes made to more than one cell at a time - prevents crashing
Select Case Target
Case "Manager"
'...check if the cell contains "Manager"...
Range("A" & Target.Row & ":AG" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
'...and if so change the color of the cells in that row, from B - AH to pale yellow.
'other cases in here....
End Select
End If
End Sub

Solution
Here you go:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)


If Intersect(Target, Range("A3:L3")) Is Nothing Or _
Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Select Case Target
Case "Manager"
Range(Cells(1, Target.Column), Cells(30, Target.Column)).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End Select
End Sub
Thanks to TrowaD for this tip.
