Hi!

I need help to build a loop that will paint a row in a color to show on duty dates and another loop to paint the off duty.

The idea is to have a button to fire up the color based on user´s settings for OnDuty, OffDuty and Rotations, I have set a minishet for better understanding.

Starting point will always be the Acive Cell the user click, OnDuty will be the numbe rof days a person workm OffDuty the number of days a person rests, rotations will be sum of a full work session plus rest (OnDuty+OffDuty).
If the user click on E5 with setting OnDuty 14, OffDuty 21 and Rotation 9 it would paint the cells as per the example below

  1. If the user click on E7 with setting OnDuty 14, OffDuty 14 and Rotation 9 it would paint the cells as per the example below
  2. If the user click on E9 with setting OnDuty 21, OffDuty 21 and Rotation 9 it would paint the cells as per the example below
  3. If the user click on E11 with setting OnDuty 28, OffDuty 28 and Rotation 9 it would paint the cells as per the example below
PS: formatting is not necessary, just need to understand how I would loop using this rule.

Appreciate all the help I can get!

See if you can get this to work in your project. They are just a couple of nested loops.
VBA Code: 
Option Explicit
Sub PatternFilling()
    Dim x      As Long
    Dim y      As Long
    Dim z      As Long
    Dim OnDuty As Long
    Dim OffDuty As Long
    Dim Rotations As Long
    Dim ActiveRow  As Long
    Dim ActiveCol As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    ActiveRow = ActiveCell.Row
    ActiveCol = ActiveCell.Column
    OnDuty = Cells(ActiveRow, "B").Value
    OffDuty = Cells(ActiveRow, "C").Value
    Rotations = Cells(ActiveRow, "D").Value
    For x = 1 To Rotations
        Cells(ActiveRow, ActiveCol) = "E"
        'add formatting here
        ActiveCol = ActiveCol + 1
        For y = 1 To OnDuty - 1
            Cells(ActiveRow, ActiveCol) = "o"
            'add formatting here
            ActiveCol = ActiveCol + 1
        Next y
        Cells(ActiveRow, ActiveCol) = "D"
        'add formatting here
        ActiveCol = ActiveCol + 1
        For z = 1 To OffDuty - 1
            Cells(ActiveRow, ActiveCol) = "h"
            'add formatting here
            ActiveCol = ActiveCol + 1
        Next z
    Next x
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Solution
This is some quick and dirty code since I think it is not well written but tested okay ?

You need to put it under the worksheet Planilha1 (not in normal module). It is a macro triggered by Change event.
VBA Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim m As Long, n As Long
Dim eRow As Long
Dim rngData As Range

eRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Set rngData = Range("B5", "C" & eRow)

If Not Intersect(rngData, Target) Is Nothing Then
    If Target.Offset(-1).Value = 0 Then
        m = 4
        While Not m > 145
            Application.ScreenUpdating = False
            Application.EnableEvents = False
            For n = 1 To Range("B" & Target.Row)
                m = m + 1
                If m > 145 Then
                    Application.EnableEvents = True
                    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
                    Exit Sub
                End If
                Select Case n
                    Case 1
                        With Cells(Target.Row, m)
                            .Value = "E"
                            .Font.Bold = True
                            .Font.Color = 65535
                            .Interior.Color = 6968388
                        End With
                    Case Else
                        With Cells(Target.Row, m)
                            .Value = "o"
                            .Font.Bold = False
                            .Font.Color = 0
                            .Interior.Color = 13224393
                        End With
                End Select
            Next
            For n = 1 To Range("C" & Target.Row)
                m = m + 1
                If m > 145 Then
                    Application.EnableEvents = True
                    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
                    Exit Sub
                End If
                Select Case n
                    Case 1
                        With Cells(Target.Row, m)
                            .Value = "D"
                            .Font.Bold = True
                            .Font.Color = 65535
                            .Interior.Color = 6968388
                        End With
                    Case Else
                        With Cells(Target.Row, m)
                            .Value = "h"
                            .Font.Bold = False
                            .Font.Color = 0
                            .Interior.Color = 13431551

Thanks a lot for your help rollis13!

I have just made a change as this piece of the code seemed not be storing the variables I needed!

I used:
VBA Code: 
OnDuty = Range("B3").Value
    OffDuty = Range("C3").Value
    Rotations = Range("D3").Value

Hi, Zot! Thanks for your time, I tested but it does not work very well. But a change event on the sheet would be problematic.

But this change will always fetch data only from those 3 cells in row 3, weren't you supposed to be free to select a cell somewhere in column E or following columns and on whatever row you needed from row 5 and below ? My coding was for a dynamic choice.

Maybe I was not clear in my previous response, sorry!

When I pasted your code I noticed it was not storing the variables OnDuty, OffDuty and Rotations and nothing was happening.

Then using F8 and checking the variables I realized the problem and changed the code and then it started working just fine.

Still can't realize :unsure: what change you have applicated unless your post #1 has a layout different from you project, but never mind as long as it's working; glad having been of some help(y).

They are verbatim to what I have here. I will run it again to see anything else happens.
