Check non-contiguous ranges help with macro needed

[Jak]

I a trying to create a macro that checks to see if there is a value in column 1 but not in columns 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25. If column 1 does have a value and there are no values in either 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 then the cells are coloured, other wise the cells remain uncoloured.

e.g.

Cell A2 has a value and cells G2, I2, K2, M2, O2, Q2, S2, U2, W2, Y2 are blank then the cells are highlighted.

If Cell A2 has a value and lets say K2 had a value then the cells would remain uncoloured.


I have tried to put a macro together to do this but unfortunately it does not work. Any suggestions on the code or alternative code to do this would be great.

Sub ColorRowsWithMissingData()

Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Dim R As Integer

For R = 2 To 1000

Set rng1 = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & R)
   Set rng2 = ActiveSheet.Range("G" & R & ", I" & R & ", K" & R & ", M" & R & ", O" & _
                                R & ", Q" & R & ", S" & R & ", U" & R & ", W" & _
                                R & ", Y" & R)
   
 If Application.Count(rng1.Cells) = 1 And Application.Count(rng2.Cells) = 0 Then rng2.Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 36


Next R

MsgBox "job done"

End Sub

Hi,

you could use conditional format for this
do you want to do this by macro anyway ?

kind regards,
Erik

in case you want to try out CF (conditional format)
select all cells to format and use this formula

=AND($A2<>"",COUNTA($G2,$I2, $K2, $M2, $O2, $Q2, $S2, $U2, $W2, $Y2)=0)

Hello erik.van.geit

I would prefer VB solution as the code is to fit into a larger macro.

Thanks for the CF example.

try this

    If rng1 <> "" And Application.CountA(rng2) = 0 Then rng2.Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 36

Hello erik.van.geit

Tried your line of VB code and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the help.

you're WELCOME
when looking back to your code: you were CLOSE !
