Dear All,

I have an excel sheet having some 30+ shapes which is making a map. I have given names to all the shapes as you can see in the below picture.

Hi, naveeddil
Try this:

Code:
[FONT=lucida console][COLOR=Royalblue]Sub[/COLOR] toColor()

[COLOR=Royalblue]Dim[/COLOR] d [COLOR=Royalblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Object[/COLOR]

va = Range([COLOR=brown]"B3:C"[/COLOR] & Cells(Rows.count, [COLOR=brown]"B"[/COLOR]).[COLOR=Royalblue]End[/COLOR](xlUp).Row)

[COLOR=Royalblue]For[/COLOR] i = [COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]To[/COLOR] UBound(va, [COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR])
    x = va(i, [COLOR=crimson]2[/COLOR])
    [COLOR=Royalblue]If[/COLOR] x < [COLOR=crimson]0.9[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Then[/COLOR]
        va(i, [COLOR=crimson]2[/COLOR]) = [COLOR=crimson]255[/COLOR] [I][COLOR=seagreen]'red[/COLOR][/I]
        [COLOR=Royalblue]ElseIf[/COLOR] x >= [COLOR=crimson]0.9[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]And[/COLOR] x <= [COLOR=crimson]0.95[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Then[/COLOR]

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
This works for me
- see picture of worksheet for layout

with formula in C2 copied down
=IF(B2<0.9,"Red",IF(B2<0.95,"Orange",IF(B2<1.05,"Grey")))

Code:
Sub ColourShapes2()
    Dim shp As Shape, aMatch As Range, Rng As Range
    Set Rng = Sheets("LookUpSheet").Range("A:A")
    For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
            On Error Resume Next
            Set aMatch = Rng.Find(shp.Name).Offset(, 2)
            With shp.Fill.ForeColor
                Select Case aMatch
                    Case "Red":     .RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
                    Case "Orange":  .RGB = RGB(255, 100, G)
                    Case "Green":   .RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255)
                    Case "Grey":    .RGB = RGB(150, 150, 150)
                End Select
            End With
    Next shp
End Sub

Unfortunately I have worked on it and nothing worked so until I got help from a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgtHyk1cKk0 and then He helped me getting the code designed specific for my sheet.
The code that worked for me is below


Code:
Sub Fill_Color()

For i = 1 To 35 '35 regions in total

If Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 3) < 0.9 Then
    Sheet1.Shapes.Range(Array(Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 2))).Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)

ElseIf Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 3) >= 0.9 And Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 3) <= 0.95 Then
    Sheet1.Shapes.Range(Array(Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 2))).Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 192, 0)
    
ElseIf Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 3) > 0.95 And Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 3) <= 1 Then
    Sheet1.Shapes.Range(Array(Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 2))).Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 176, 80)

ElseIf Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 3) > 1 Then
    Sheet1.Shapes.Range(Array(Sheet1.Cells(4 + i, 2))).Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(191, 191, 191)

End If

Next i

End Sub
