Dear Excel Community,

I currently have a sheet with data resembling this:

[TABLE="width: 139"]
<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Plan[/TD]
[TD] Days[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Intended [/TD]
[TD] 13[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Unintended[/TD]
[TD] 12[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Intended [/TD]
[TD] 14[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Intended[/TD]
[TD] 15[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Intended[/TD]
[TD] 16[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Unintended[/TD]
[TD] 8[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

As the conditional formatting function does not allow application of thick coloured borders, what kind of macro can I use to dynamically apply a thick red border to those cells in the days column only if their corresponding cell value in the plan column is 'unintended'? It must be dynamic as the row data may increase from time to time and certain values within existing rows will also change over time depending on info I have.

I have been stuck for some time. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,
stuck
 
The last code I supplied should do that already, although it won't recognise text values.
If you modify it to recognise text values as well as numerical values, then it will pick up any cell with a formula that returns "".
Unfortunately I know of no way round this, other than removing the formulae

Thank you Sir its all good really appreciate your help on all this. What if I have certain cells that contain a date value: eg ([TABLE="width: 154"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]31-Dec-17 to 3-Feb-18). How can I then trigger a conditional to copy only cells with these values?


[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Its all good Sir, thank you very much for your help on this. Really appreciate it. Regarding this issue, I have found a workaround, which is to change the "" into "NA" and then have another code to delete the cells with the NAs. That should solve the issue.

Have a great week ahead
