Hi,

I started recently to learn VBA and I need some help with changing the font color of a value inside a text box based on condition. I tried below macro but it changed the text box color instead of the font. Can anyone help?

Code:
Sub Set_Color_TextBox()
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("D_2018")).Select
    
    If ActiveSheet.[Cell_Delta].Offset(1, 0).Value < 0 Then
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
    End With
    
    Else
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(146, 208, 80)
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
End With
End If
   ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("D_2017")).Select
    
    If ActiveSheet.[Cell_Delta].Offset(2, 0).Value < 0 Then
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
    End With
    
    Else
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(146, 208, 80)
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
End With
End If
   ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("D_2016")).Select
    
    If ActiveSheet.[Cell_Delta].Offset(3, 0).Value < 0 Then
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
    End With
    
    Else
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(146, 208, 80)
        .Transparency = 0
        .Solid
End With
End If
    
End Sub

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Try
Code:
With Selection.ShapeRange[COLOR=#ff0000].TextFrame2.TextRange.Font[/COLOR].Fill
