I am developing a spreadsheet to perform the following:
-Populate the # value into the corresponding column options and color code it based on option 1 or option 2.
-Automatically move the # value to the correct columns if options change.
-Use SumByColor to calculate the total per option under each Option Type.
-Only the cells populated with data will be color coded by their option number.
Using an IF formula, I move the numbers automatically to the right column if the option changes.
I cannot figure out how to color code it so I can use the SumByColor VBA macro.
For Cell E5: (Ham being first option will be Green)
=IF($B5="Ham", $D5, IF($C5="Ham", $D5, ""))
For Cell F5: (If either Option 1 or 2 is changed to Turkey, then the value of D5 will be moved to F5 and color code to match Option 1 or Option 2)
=IF($B5="Turkey", $D5, IF($C5="Turkey", $D5, ""))
For Cell G5: (Duck is the second option and will be Yellow)
=IF($B5="Duck", $D5, IF($C5="Duck", $D5, ""))
I tried Conditional Formatting and VBA macros that SMEs have provided for similar problems, but neither have the desired results.
A more dynamic formula (starting in cell E5):
=IF($B5=E$1,$D5,IF($C5=E$1,$D5,""))
Drag down and to the right.
Now to colour code the cells, you need 2 conditional formatting rules:
=$B5=E$1
;=$C5=E$1
;To sum up your choices, using formula:
In E2: =SUMIFS(E5:E9,$B$5:$B$9,E$1)
, drag right;
In E3: =SUMIFS(E5:E9,$C$5:$C$9,E$1)
, drag right;
