    Color Cell Based on Specific Text in Other Cell and Sorting Based on Results

    Details as follows:
    Column B – Project #
    Column C-E (Merged) – Project description
    Column F – Status
    Column G – Project Details
    Columns H-NI – Individual dates for the year
    Each worksheet will list no more than 25 projects (currently rows 9 – 33)
    Would appreciate the following assistance with the following 3 items (all columns would be included in the sorting noted below):
    1. Sorting Macro:
    A macro that will sort all items by project # when run (since projects entered may not flow in ascending order). (Assuming all projects are “On Track” – Green)
    2. Highlighting cells:
    There are three status types in the status column: On Track, At Risk and Off Track.
    If status cell (in column F) displays On Track, Project Description Cell (Column C) would be green
    If status cell (in column F) displays at Risk, Project Description Cell (Column C) would be light yellow
    If status cell (in column F) displays Off Track, Project Description Cell (Column C) would be red.
    3. Sorting Off Track or At Risk projects before On Track projects:
    If a project is changed to Off Track or At Risk, a macro that I could run that (or could automatically run) that would override the “On Track” macro and list the Off Track or At Risk Projects before the On Track projects.
    a. Any Off Track project would be listed before any At Risk project.
    b. Off Track or At Risk projects would be listed in numerical order.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.
