Formatting Cell Color and Fill with VBA

Hello All,

I'm writing because i'm having an issue. I would like to format two cells using VBA. It is the basic if greater than less than argument with the light green/red background and dark green/red text if true or not. But because of how I have set up my cells, I have a separate cell next to the cell containing numbers, and i want to format that as well, and since it's text, i'm having a hard time. Basically if there was a way to match the conditional formatting of another cell that is what i want to do. I feel i've done a bad job explaining this, so i'll attach the sheet i'm trying to build.

Thank you for any help,

Hi Darkflame,

You can use Conditional Formatting for this; no need for VBA.

1. Select C43:F43 and click Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
2. Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'
3. Beneath 'Format values where this formula is true:', type the formula

=$C43>$F43

4. Click the Format... button and choose your Font/Fill color.
5. Click OK twice to return to worksheet.
6. With C43:F43 still selected, repeat the process but for the formula use:

=$C43<$F43

Hope that helps!
