For this same function / calculation, I have seen various videos in various accents. maybe a hundred. This tutorial is rated no 1 of out 100. Full marks 100 out of 100. have downloaded the workbook will be attempting to do this on my sheets. Your explanation is step by step, thorough, leaving out no steps so the person who's learning will not miss out on a single thing. Will be buying your course also as this shows how precise you are. Perfection. hope there is not lag on the end sheet when i finish doing this to my sheets. As there is no lag on the worksheet i have downloaded from your page, thanks a lot

Thanks for you support paramveerssachdeva! I just found an Excel add-in by JKP, who is an Excel MVP. It accomplishes the same task but in a different way, using arrow shapes drawn on the worksheet. And it works in any open workbook after you install the add-in. No need to write more code. Here's the link to JKP's Follow Cell Pointer addin: jkp-ads.com/download.asp#followcellpointer Microsoft Instructions on how to install or remove Excel add-ins: support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/add-or-remove-add-ins-in-excel-0af570c4-5cf3-4fa9-9b88-403625a0b460#OfficeVersion=Windows P.S. As always, be careful of what you download. I can recommend JKP because of his long-standing solid reputation in the Excel community. But do be careful what you install.

I left the conditional formatting in place, one for the row one for the column. I liked this method rather than the combined method, is so I could use a different format for the column and the row. That could be an alternative. This was a great insight - good job and thank you.

I then copy this into a new workbook multiple times. Each sheet has the highlight set up."

Hi there, I love this video, very well explained. I have one question, can you this be turned into a macro that you can save in your personal macro workbook? I know the conditional formatting element can easily be recorded, but not sure about if I can add the code to the active worksheet to automatically recalculate. example what I imagine it would do. 1. Highlight your data area 2. Run the macro (having the on/off switch on your ribbon) 3. Do what you need to do, then turn it off. 4. Move to next workbook and repeat. I hope that makes sense. Thanks either way.

Thanks for your comment! yes, putting this in the personal macro workbook would make it available in any workbook. However, I just found an Excel add-in that highlights the active cell either with arrows or by selecting the active row and column. It comes from from JKP (Jan Karel Pieterse) who is an Excel MVP and is a free download. I recommend you check it out. It's called "Follow Cell Pointer" and you can download it here: jkp-ads.com/download.asp#followcellpointer And here are instructions from Microsoft for adding or removing add-ins: support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/add-or-remove-add-ins-in-excel-0af570c4-5cf3-4fa9-9b88-403625a0b460#OfficeVersion=Windows

Hi Joy! My first thought is that when you open the file, even though it’s saved as an Excel macro-enabled file, you might not have allowed macros to run. To ensure the code works, you need to enable macros. Here’s how to do it: 1. Go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Macro Settings. 2. Select Enable all macros. For detailed steps, check out my article on enabling macros here: www.launchexcel.com/enable-disable-macros-excel I'd also check that the VBA code and conditional formatting rules are still in place. If issues persist, try removing and reapplying the rules. Feel free to reach out if you need more help!

I also noticed that when you enable this, you can no longer copy and paste between cells. I have created a control sheet and put the on / off switch on this, and put the code in a module. I then put the code for each sheet in an IF statement, so when it is set to off, I can still copy and paste. Sadly, this means amending the code on 70 sheets.

Why does your conditional function work on all sheets from level 1 to 7 without having to create the function from scratch again, while my Excel doesn't ?

It fails when you select multiple cells
@launchexcel
@launchexcel 7 ай бұрын
yes, that's true. It's a limitation of Excel not having a *function to determine the selected range of cells* . So in conditional formatting we can only detect the Active Cell, as far as I'm aware. If anyone has a solution, feel free to post! Thx

It looks like this could be a Mac-specific problem. Read this page on the Microsoft support site: support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/-variable-uses-an-automation-type-not-supported-error-in-visual-basic-editor-in-excel-for-mac-c3125bf3-c30b-4d62-be42-d2f1bec0e5ad Hope that helps.

Thanks for your comment and for watching my tutorial on highlighting the active row and column. I'd like to help, however I don't understand what you mean by "the Formula its self.help". Which part of the video did you get stuck at? If you can give me a video timestamp (mm:ss) it will give me more context to answer.

it doesn't work on online excel how to highlight active cells on online excel?
@launchexcel
@launchexcel 15 күн бұрын
Online Excel doesn't allow VBA to run, so this method doesn't work. I don't currently know of a workaround for online Excel.

I can't get this to work. I have followed the instructions, but my lines will not be colored. Is there any setting that needs to be done in excel?. The usual conditional formatting works.

Hmm, that's odd. The highlighting should work if your conditional formatting works. Have you tried following the steps in the article? www.launchexcel.com/highlight-active-row-column-excel-7-levels

Hello. I have gone through all the steps thoroughly. It doesn't work for me. When I use conditional formatting, such as "rules for formatting greater than", the formatting works. @@launchexcel

It's extremely easily in WPS spreadsheet, one click on a icon does this. But, why is it so much difficult in Excel. Time to switch from Excel to WPS spreadsheet

Thanks for commenting! I had no idea WPS could do this in Reading Layout in just one click. After a quick search I found the official WPS video here (45 seconds) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZqlg4yMdtd8j9k Then I discovered that the official WPS channel has fewer subs than this (small) Excel channel... so I guess Excel is just too far ahead in popularity that it's hard for WPS to get a foothold. What would you say are the biggest strengths and weaknesses of WPS vs Excel? I'm curious to learn as I know nothing about WPS, and you seem to be familiar. Again, thanks for bringing this up.

It's a detailed tutorial, just skip to the part you wants, unless you need a tutorial for that too :v Besides, this video has so much better explanation than any other videos i saw. It has level of highlights. You dont need to know all the level, just the very basic of level 2 is enough. Also, your time might be precious for you, but this youtuber's time could be even more precious than yours. World doesn't revolve around you
