I have a workbook that includes a drop down list with three options. One of the options is "TA". The default font type for these cells is "Wingdings" but when "TA" is chosen I want the Font Type to change to "Arial". Please help.
Thanks

Use Conditional Formatting for that cell
"Format Only Cells that Contain" "Equal to" TA
Format font appropriately.
Does that work for you?

I tried that previously but when I go to change the Font Type - the Font Type box is greyed out and I cannot select anything in that field.
You're right, it's not allowed. You'll need to use VBA.
Right click on the sheet tab and "View Code"
Paste this in, modifying the cell location

Now I went into VBA and I am getting an error message that says "Project is Unviewable". I do not remember doing anythign in VBA that would cause this to happen? Please help.
It seems as if I cannot record Macros anymore either. I have the file saves as a Macros Enabled Workbook and both VBA and Macros were previously working.

Can you post the workbook? (Go to "Go Advanced" and click on the paper clip)

I re-svaed the workbook and VBA and Macros seem to be working now. Maybe something was corrupt with the file.
OK - back to the original question. I am pretty new to VBA so I am not sure exactly what to do with the Code you wrote above - where do I put this and will it automatically update if "TA" is entered into the cells in that sheet?
Also, what woud the code be if the range I wanted the font to change for "TA" was P21:P117, R21:R117, T21:T117, V21:V117, X21:X117, Z21:Z117?
Project unviewable is a typical response if you try to open a project in a Shared workbook. Maybe it's shared either deliberately or inadvertently.

Open your workbook, go to the proper worksheet.
Right click on the sheet tab and choose "View Code"
That opens the VBA editor and you should be in the worksheet module.
Copy and past the below code directly into the large white text box. (If there is no large white text box, let me know)
Close the VBA editor, no need to save, it will save when you save the workbook.

That worked perfectly - thank you so much. One more question. Is there a way to change the code so that it will always be Arial unless "ü" or "x" is chosen in those same cells? I also always want the font to be unbolded.
I'm not sure if I got your Bolds in the right place but just move the true/false appropriately.Please Login or Register to view this content.
You are a rockstar! Thank you so much for all your help. I am sure I will have more posts as I continue to develop this workbook! Many thanks again!
