    Conditional Formatting - Format row based on cell value in specific column

    Hi guys,

    I want to apply conditional formatting via VBA. I know I could do it in about 2 seconds using standard conditional formatting but the users of the spreadsheet copy and paste and drag to fill, and past experience has shown that this screws up the conditional formatting. I'm also aware that I could stop them doing this, but it's not worth the drama

    So, I guess I would like an event to run after a cell in column H (Status) is updated, if value = "Open", format that row to fill yellow.

    For what it's worth, I've attached the spreadsheet. New Walkthroughs.xlsm

    Any help greatfully received...

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Try this code in the worksheet module (this will replace your current Worksheet_Change event):

    Re: Conditional Formatting - Format row based on cell value in specific column

    Hey ajryan88,

    How difficult would it be to add another condition to this code? We now need 2 conditional formats. Yellow if status = "Open" (which we already did), or, if the title (column F) = "Audit NC" AND status = "Open" fill green...

    I have had a wee play with it, but to no effect as yet. (It's not crapping out, but it's not working either!)

    Hey Nilem, thanks for the code. It's not working though. Still goes yellow but not doing the green. Have attached a copy of the s/s.

    Kite, remove all conditional formatting rules in your file to see the green fill.
