Hi!
Utilizing Ron de Bruin's code to email Excel range over Outlook in HTML, however could you guys help me understand the conditional formatting part. I want to focus on 3 columns in my range: E; F; G. I have conditional formatting in place for column G based on formula:
e.g. if column F is not 0, format column G (yellow fill). This works just fine in Excel.
Problem occurs when running VBA to email my range over Outlook. VBA hides column F before selecting the range, however I still expect conditional formatting to withstand (which it does - in Excel!). When looking at the email, column F is not showing, as expected, however conditional formatting now works based column E, not column F.
If I avoid hiding column F, conditional formatting works fine, however I prefer to hide column F when selecting the range to be emailed. Could you guys help me in understanding that is causing this?
The code itself is as following:
