    Change Shape Color based on date

    Hello, help please!

    I want to create a code that reads the date in a cell (example "CA25") and changes the color of a shape "Bin R1" according to the following:
    if the cell is blank = shape color RGB (91,155,213)
    if the date in the cell is today and forward = shape color RGB (27,27,27)
    if the date in the cell is yesterday and before = shape color RGB (255,0,0)

    I have 76 shapes/bins that I need to use this code for. Is it possible to create a code for all 76 in one if each bin has a cell equivalent and shape name?

    you can use a user defined function. Function has a reference the to input date cell and the name of the shape to affect.

    I found a work around!

    I just conditionally formatted the cells and linked the display of the shape to the cell display.



    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Cube 1").Fill.ForeColor.RGB = ActiveSheet.Range("CA25").DisplayFormat.Interior.Color

    End Sub
