Change cell format based on condition.

[Patrick Simonds]

I want to change B5 cell format to a red fill if any of the cells in the
range B6-N145 has a cell fill format of red.

[Norie]

How will the individual cell get the red fill?

If it's through conditional formatting you could extend the conditional formatting over the range.

If it's any other way I think you would require VBA code.

[Bob Phillips]

Assuming it is not conditional formatting

For Each cell In Range("B6:N145")
If cell.Interior.Colorindex = 3 Then
Range("B5").Interior.Colorindex = 3
Exit For
End If
Next cell

I am not totally sure I understand your question.

The range B6-N145 has cells which are format with a fill color of red if
certain conditions are not met. There are a number of conditions being
checked (each cell has it's own conditional format). What I need is to have
cell B5 be formatted with a red fill if any of the cells in the above range
are filled red. There are to many conditional formats being applied to the
range B6-N145 to applied them all to cell B5.

I should also add that I would also want it to remove the red fill from cell
B5 if there were no longer any cells in range B6-N145 with a red fill
pattern.

I should mention that I also want to have the red fill removed from cell B5
once there are no cells formatted red in the range B6-N145. The ultimate
goal is to have no red cells on the worksheet.

I Tried this and it seems to work well using a Worksheet_SelectionChange,
but I can not get cell B5 to return to a no fill color once the cells in the
Range B6:N145 are no longer red.

In other words when the condition which turns a cell red in the range
B6:N145 (it indicates a problem), corrected the red fill goes away and I
then want the red fill in cell B5 to go away.

Range("B5").Interior.Colorindex = xlColorindexNone
For Each cell In Range("B6:N145")
If cell.Interior.Colorindex = 3 Then
Range("B5").Interior.Colorindex = 3
Exit For
End If
Next cell

Well that worked on my test sheet, but, now I know why Conditional
formatting was mentioned. The cell format (red or no color) in the range
B5:N145 are controlled by conditional formatting. So when the code looks at
the cells that are red, they do not appear to be have any cell formatting
assigned.

Am I just out of luck?

That's why we asked <vbg>

Try this version, assuming that the CF is set by a formula not a straight
condition

Range("B5").FormatConditions.Delete
For Each cell In Range("B6:N145")
If cell.FormatConditions.Count > 0 Then
If Evaluate(cell.FormatConditions(1).Formula1) Then
With Range("B5")
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression,
Formula1:="=TRUE"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End With
Exit For
End If
End If
Next cell
