Hi there.

I'm using Excel for Mac 16.53, with an Office 365 subscription.

I'd like to create a macro for repeated use to apply borders to my spreadsheets whenever there's a change in value in column B. But I want to do this via Conditional Formatting, as the values in the spreadsheets can change over time.

I've got some code that's erroring out. Here's my code:
VBA Code:
Sub FamilyBanding()
'Define Range
Dim MyRange As Range
Set MyRange = Selection
 
'Delete Existing Conditional Formatting from Range
MyRange.FormatConditions.Delete
 
'Apply Conditional Formatting
MyRange.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, _
        Formula1:="=$B3<>$B2"
    With MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ThemeColor = 5
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
End Sub

When I run this, I get a Runtime Error 1004: Unable to set the LineStyle property of the Border Class. It seems to be stuck on the ".LineStyle = xlContinuous" line. I should note that it does successfully create the formatting rule, with the proper formula and applied range.

I'd be most grateful for your help.

Thanks!

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Problem solved.

Apparently it doesn't like the "Borders(xlEdgeBottom)" property. When I change this to "Borders(xlBottom)", it runs.
