Macro for Conditional Formatting code to get Coloured Borders?

[e4excel]

How do I write a Macro for Conditional Formatting code to get Borders?

I want to create a sheet with a Macro and I want to create simple borders around the Cells uptill the last filled cell.

Ex: Data is from Col A till Col K

If there data in the column B then there should be borders around the entire ROW from Col A till Col K.

This whole sheet will be devoid of GridLines and therefore the only borders present will be due to the conditional formatting or if there's any other way of making.

So Any ideas..!

Warm regards

Dear Tiger,

This works the way I wanted but have some questions?

1. How to make it more dynamic ? lets say the range can always keep on expanding...
(Rowwise)


2. How to add more conditions in the Conditional Formatting?

My actual condition which I was using by manually writing the formula was as below:

1> =$A2<>"" Format to get a Blue Colour border in the shape of a "U" without the top Border..

2> =AND($A2="",$A3="") WITH NO bORDER....

Dear Tiger,

I have actually Five COnditions in the regular Manual Conditional Formatting that helps me get Border, however I want to write it with a Macro..

So can you please explain me the same...

OR

Alternatively, is there a direct way of achieving the same with a VBA code, I would prefer both options for learning however for all practical purposes I need to create a copy of the main file and the conditional formatting cannot be avoided as it goes with the COPY_PASTED Sheet too as without the Conditional FOrmatting the Automatic Borders dont take place...
