    Change cell format (cell color+font color) based on color of another cell

    Hi all,

    I am in need of solution to my problem i have been struggling with for quite some time now.

    I have a range off cells that have numbers in them, and are colored with different colors. These cells don't always have the same color. The range of cells is F20:AU42.

    I have made 13 check boxes which are bounded to different cells. Range of cells is E3:E15. Every cell in that range has a different color and these colors are the same colors I use in above mentioned range F20:AU42.

    here is the picture of the workbook so you can see what I am working on.

    What i need is, the vba code that format cells in range F20:AU42 when i uncheck the checkboxes in range E3:E15.
    For instance. If I uncheck the checkbox in cell E3 (color orange), I would like to format all cells with orange in range F20:AU42 (cell color white+font color white).
    And if I check the checkbox again it will change the color of same cells to orange.

    I hope that someone out there can help me with this.

    Best regards

    Please include the workbook, it will make it easier to get on with the project.

    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.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Re: Change cell format (cell color+font color) based on color of another cell

    I filled rows 1 and 2 with black so I can see what the contents of the cells are. I added a "helper" row that gets the colors associated with the check boxes and stores the color number as a long. You can unfill the cells to hide the values.

    The program also uses a helper sheet called Remember - this sheet can be hidden. When you clear a certain color on the chart, the program goes through the F20:AU42 range and "remembers" the color associated with the cell. When you turn that color back on, the program fetches the color value from the remember sheet and applies it to the cell.

    Hi all,

    I am very sorry for my late reply, but I was away for last couple of weeks. Now that I am back, i would like to thank you both Sintek and Dflak for a good work. I had to go with Dflaks code because the code is fully integrated in the file. So reputation goes to Dflak.

    Again big thanks to you.

    Best regards
