Select row that is between two values

[drsiaca]

I have a little suggestion, can some one help with this macro

I will like to color a row red if a cell is between two values, the trick is this is the range can be 2000-0000-00 to 3000-0000-00 or 2000-0000 to 3000-0000. The range is really between the first four numbers.

Hi and welcome to the forum

We would love to help you with your question, but 1st, in accordance with forum rule, please rename your thread to something more meaningful, that actually describes your problem.

Because thread titles are used in searching the forum it is vital they be written to accurately describe your thread content or overall objective using ONLY search friendly key words. That is, your title used as search terms would return relevant results.

Also, many members will look at a thread title, and if it is of interest to them, or it falls within their area of expertese, they might only open those threads.

Look at it this way...if you typed that title into google, what would you expect to get back?

by 1st 4 numbers, do you mean btw 2000 and 3000?

If so, you can use conditional formatting for this, you dont need a macro.

1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
3. select new rule, select use formula
4. enter =AND(A6>=2000,A6<=3000) format fill red

I tried that, what is causing me the problem is the hyphen. The hyphen cannot be deleted because it is part of a serial number. I will like it to be a macro

[FDibbins]

so the actual cell value is 2000-0000-00 ?

If so, you can extract that value with this...

=AND(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)*1>=2000,LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)*1<=3000)

Does not seem to work

Thanks

Can this be achieved via macro?

Yes you could try a macro like this and see if that works for you.
