Double value in cell and conditional formatting on one

[jdskousen]

I am trying to build a roadmap staff capacity planner. I am trying to have conditional formatting based on a text value to color code the various project phases. We may need to allocate less staff during planning and warranty vs execution.
I want to be able to quickly layout the project phases (based on the color formatting from the text) but at the same time have the number of FTEs required as the main data point. Is there a way to have a layer within a cell to have both text and number where the conditional formatting is based on the text value but display the number value.

Attached is a screenshot and example workbook for reference.

I do not believe you can achieve this with just conditional formatting, though some VBA should be able to get you what you want.

Thanks. I am not a heavy coder nor every really ever tried VBA. Any good sources you recommend to see how complicated that would be?

Something like this perhaps:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C11:X12")) Is Nothing Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Select Case Target.Value
        Case "s"
            With Target.Interior
                .Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
                .Interior.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .Interior.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorLight2
                .Interior.TintAndShade = 0.749992370372631
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
            Target.ClearContents
        Case "r"
            With Target.Interior
                .Pattern = xlSolid
                .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent2
                .TintAndShade = 0.599993896298105
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
            Target.ClearContents
        Case "p"
            With Target.Interior
                .Pattern = xlSolid
                .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent4
                .TintAndShade = 0.599993896298105
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
            Target.ClearContents
        Case "d"
            With Target.Interior
                .Pattern = xlSolid
                .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent6
                .TintAndShade = 0.599993896298105
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
            Target.ClearContents
        Case "w"
            With Target.Interior
                .Pattern = xlSolid
                .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .Color = 16764108
                .TintAndShade = 0
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
            Target.ClearContents
        Case Else
            'Do Nothing
    End Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub

I'm not sure why the selection bounces back and forth afterwards, but it gets the job done.

Posted the wrong code above.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C11:X12")) Is Nothing Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Select Case Target.Value
        Case "s"
            With Target.Interior
                .Pattern = xlSolid
                .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorLight2
                .TintAndShade = 0.749992370372631
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
            Target.ClearContents
        Case "r"
            With Target.Interior
                .Pattern = xlSolid
                .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
                .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent2
                .TintAndShade = 0.599993896298105
                .PatternTintAndShade = 0
            End With
            Target.ClearContents
        Case "p"
