Color Entire Row Based on Cell Value
Does anyone know what could be causing this error?
From the MSDN help on the ColorIndex
Property:
The ColorIndex property can have valid integer arguments between 0 and 56 that generate color. However, you can assign decimal or string values to the property without generating a run-time error. In these instances, Excel tries to randomly apply a color that corresponds to the argument value. However, setting the property to an integer value outside the range of 0 to 56 causes the following error:
Runtime Error '9': Subscript out of range
You can find the Color Palette with the valid indices on the same page:
Note that ColorIndex
is different than Color
, which uses the RGB specification and is more versatile. More info on Color
vs ColorIndex
here.
I personally prefer using Color
and the built-in VBA Color Enumerations vbBlack, vbRed, vbGreen, vbYellow, vbBlue, vbMagenta, vbCyan
, and vbWhite
. For most applications these are enough, but if more colors are necessary then using a custom enumeration color is also possible, and more elegant than looking up the RGB tables..
I hope this helps!
change ColorIndex to Color.
