Setting values by row color

[Ron]

Hi,

I need to set the values (Peoples names) of a column according to the fill
color of each row.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction with this problem.

I'm a VBA newbie by the way!


Regards,
Ron.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Interior.ColorIndex
Case 3: .Value = "Bill" 'red
Case 6: .Value = "John" 'yellow
Case 5: .Value = "Ron" 'blue
Case 10: .Value = "Alan" 'green
'etc.
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Thanks Bob,

That works fine> I will have to iterate through the rows though because the
event type doesn't quite suit the way the sheet will be used.
