Hi,</SPAN></SPAN>

I am looking special conditional formatting; perhaps it would not be possible doing by the formula. Need your help with a VBA solution </SPAN></SPAN>

My series is made of three characters 1, X and 2</SPAN></SPAN>

I want to highlight every series in 2 different colours as shown in the given example below</SPAN></SPAN>

Here is a example of row 6, and will be followed the same method for all the rest rows bellows, Series start with "1" and will end with "2"</SPAN></SPAN>

C6 = X its alone series end, because D6 has "1" so highlight C6 with Green</SPAN></SPAN>
D6 = 1 and E6 = 2 series end, because F6 has "1" so highlight D6:E6 with Red</SPAN></SPAN>
F6:G6 Series with colour Green</SPAN></SPAN>
H6:I6 series with colour Red</SPAN></SPAN>
J6:L6 series with colour Green</SPAN></SPAN>
And last M6:P6 with colour Red </SPAN></SPAN>

Result data example</SPAN></SPAN>

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.

Re: Need help with a special conditional formatting; highlight the series

If you change your helper cells to cumulative totals, you could do it like this:

Conditionally formatted green using formula:
=AND(COLUMNS($A1:A1)<=MAX($P1:$X1),ISODD(MATCH(COLUMNS($A1:A1)-1,$P1:$X1,1)))

Conditionally formatted red using formula:
=AND(COLUMNS($A1:A1)<=MAX($P1:$X1),ISEVEN(MATCH(COLUMNS($A1:A1)-1,$P1:$X1,1)))

I suspect that ISODD() and ISEVEN() didn't exist in Excel 2000, so instead, you could test whether the Match value was either 0 or 1, in Mod 2.

Hi StephenCrump, thank you for the CF formulas, as you imagine ISODD() and ISEVEN does not exists in excel 2000.</SPAN></SPAN>

End Sub

But I need to have colouring like this... for more detail please see the post#1

Mick, it is an absolutely fine, code it is colouring the "1X2" sequence without having the helper columns. Checked with my long data worked awfully.</SPAN></SPAN>

Warmly thank to you for solving all complicated issues.</SPAN></SPAN>

Mike, Stay Blessed </SPAN></SPAN>

Have a Good Weekend</SPAN></SPAN>

Kind regards,</SPAN></SPAN>

Re: Need help with a special conditional formatting; highlight the series

Hi your logic is quite confusing.

you should say something like:
each row is separate function and started green

series are 1111XXX2222, different colour what the previous series were

after the last 2, change colour on 1 or X.

if series has not started:
-the first value is X,
-or the first value after 2 is X it is still series and should be highlighted with different colour

this is nearly there, just need to account for double X and double 2s at the end of a series

Code: 
Sub coloring()

Dim colr, r, c As Integer
Dim startS, endS, previousIsX, previousIs2 As Boolean
Range("A2:N15").Interior.ColorIndex = 0
colr = 4 '4 green, 3 red
startS = False
endS = False


For r = 2 To 15
    For c = 1 To 14
        If Cells(r, c).Value = 1 Then
            'if series did not start, begin
            If startS = False Then startS = True
            previousIsX = False
            previousIs2 = False
            
        ElseIf Cells(r, c).Value = 2 Then
            If startS And Not previousIs2 Then endS = True
            
            previousIsX = False
            previousIs2 = True
            
        ElseIf Cells(r, c).Value = "X" Then
            If Not startS Then 'Or Not previousIsX Then
                startS = True
                endS = True
            End If


            previousIsX = True
        End If




        Cells(r, c).Interior.ColorIndex = colr
        
        'if both conditions met, change color
        If startS And endS Then
            startS = False
            endS = False
            
            If colr = 4 Then
                colr = 3
            Else
                colr = 4
            End If
                        
        End If
        
        
    Next c


Next r




End Sub

Re: Need help with a special conditional formatting; highlight the series

Hi, darn did not see the second page. Interesting puzzle.
Here is my solution.
As above the main change occurs after you reach 1 then 2 ; and then 1 again (new series) or X (new invalid X series). This is where color is changed.

If someone can explain why i get error type mismatch when using "Function changeColor(ii As Integer) As Integer", maybe time is not wasted? I have marked colr as integer and using changeColor(colr).


Code: 
Option Explicit


Sub coloring()


Dim colr, r, c As Integer
Dim newSeries, previousIs2 As Boolean
Range("A2:N15").Interior.ColorIndex = 0


For r = 2 To 15
    colr = 4 '4 green, 3 red
    newSeries = False
    previousIs2 = False
    
    For c = 1 To 14
        Select Case Cells(r, c).Value
        Case 1
            If newSeries = False Then
                newSeries = True
                If c > 1 Then colr =[B] changeColor(colr)[/B]
            End If
            
            previousIs2 = False


            
        Case 2
            If newSeries = True Then
                newSeries = False
            End If
            


            previousIs2 = True


            
        Case "X"
            If previousIs2 And Not newSeries Then
                colr = [B]changeColor(colr)[/B]
            End If
        
 
            previousIs2 = False


        End Select
        
        Cells(r, c).Interior.ColorIndex = colr
        
        
    Next c


Next r




End Sub


Function changeColor(ii As [B]Variant[/B]) As Integer
    If ii = 3 Then
        ii = 4
    Else
        ii = 3
    End If
    changeColor = ii
End Function
