VB Code - Entire Row Colors for Table depending on Partial Data in Column 1

[Kenja824]

I tried man. I really did, but I can only go so long making no progress.... To make it worse, I thought of something else I need to do and cant remember what it was now. lol

Column "Number" or "ROB#" will be filled with a date similar to...
AA010_R01_B05
The only part of this data I am interested in right this moment is the R01. It might be R01, R02, R03, R04, R05 or R06.

I need the color for the entire row of data in the table to change according to which R0# it is.

I was finding articles on using VB to change rows according to column data, but nothing on using a formula to find a specific text inside a string. Or any formula for that matter. Which would have helped if I found that much.

The last VB code I tried to manipulate looks like this.....



Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set rng = Range("a2:az1250")
i = 2
Do Until i = 10
With rng
If Cells(i, 6).Value = "=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("R01",[@Number]))" Then
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
ElseIf Cells(i, 6).Value = "=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("R02",[@Number]))" Then
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
ElseIf Cells(i, 6).Value = "=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("R03",[@Number]))" Then
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 38
ElseIf Cells(i, 6).Value = "=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("R04",[@Number]))" Then
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 35
ElseIf Cells(i, 6).Value = "=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("R05",[@Number]))" Then
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 24
ElseIf Cells(i, 6).Value = "=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("R05",[@Number]))" Then
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Else
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 2
End If
End With
i = i + 1
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

But I think I got this all screwed up or something. lol It is times like this I realize just how little I understand of VB code. lol Im decent with formulas but I suck at code. lol

Try a Conditional Format where

=FIND(C2,"_R01_")>0
...and apply the appropriate shade.

You'll need a spec for each color.

I think that applying to the first data row may propagate to all Structured Table rows.

Here's a VBA procedure. I loop thru the Number column and then the ROB # column. Had to turn off the ELSE on the second time through, or else all the rows shaded in Number were unshaded.

Sub ColorFormatRow()
    Dim rng As Range, r As Range, i As Integer
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For i = 0 To 1
        Select Case i
            Case 0
                Set rng = Rows(1).Find("Number").Offset(1)
            Case 1
                Set rng = Rows(1).Find("ROB #").Offset(1)
        End Select
        
        Set rng = Range(rng, rng.End(xlDown))
        
        For Each r In rng
            If r.Value Like "*_R01_*" Then
                Intersect(r.EntireRow, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
            ElseIf r.Value Like "*_R02_*" Then
                Intersect(r.EntireRow, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
            ElseIf r.Value Like "*_R03_*" Then
                Intersect(r.EntireRow, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Interior.ColorIndex = 38
            ElseIf r.Value Like "*_R04_*" Then
                Intersect(r.EntireRow, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Interior.ColorIndex = 35
            ElseIf r.Value Like "*_R05_*" Then
                Intersect(r.EntireRow, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Interior.ColorIndex = 24
            ElseIf r.Value Like "*_R06_*" Then
                Intersect(r.EntireRow, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Interior.ColorIndex = 15
            Else
                If i = 0 Then _
                Intersect(r.EntireRow, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Interior.ColorIndex = 2
            End If
        Next
    Next
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Conditional formatting, at least to my understanding, isnt good for this situation because it wont be there the next file they give me.

I am creating this macro so that every time they give me or someone else a new file to use, which is often, we wont have to format it to how we can use it. I can just import the macro and run it and ts done automatically. Everyone who does this job gets used to the same set up every time. Others who do this wont know how to do conditional formatting. I had to teach one person how to use the filters even.

So i need to set the conditional formatting with the VB code I believe. ....... I believe. Doesnt mean I know. lol

Crap, I replied and didnt see this last one. I will look at it in the morning. Thanks

Code worked perfect. It had me confused for a bit but it was on me for not placing it in a good place within my code. lol

Thanks
