Format Code - Joel

[LiAD]

Hi,

I recieved this code from Joel which works well when numbers are typed in
and formatted as numbers. However when I try to change Cols J and K to
formulas the code does not work. Even if the numbers change the coloured
bars remain the same. If I try to overwrite the formulas with the numbers I
want it still does not work. The formulas are simple K4=J4+G4, K4+1=J5 etc.
entered ino excel not VB.

In a similar way if I write e instead of 2 for example the code defaults,
which is normal, but then after I cannot reset it or get it to work again,
(the reason that might happen is because I'm using a French laptop which u
need to use caps lock on the get the numbers so if u forget u get weird
letters instead).

There is also something funny in the format of the numbers in Col K which
gets changed to white automatically sometimes and hence disappears.

Is it possible someone could give me some hints on how to get rid of these
issues please?

Thanks

I'm sorry about the white color. I made the code flexible that you could set
the font as well as the background color because you wouldn't be able to see
black fonts on a blach background. Simply comment out the following line of
code

MyFont = MyWhite

I'm not sure why formulas aren't working. Add a message box in this code to
help find the problem

StartTime = Cells(t.Row, "J")
EndTime = Cells(t.Row, "K")
msgbox("StartTime : " & StartTime & "; EndTime : " & EndTime)


You can also try using Value like below
StartTime = Cells(t.Row, "J").Value
EndTime = Cells(t.Row, "K").Value
msgbox("StartTime : " & StartTime & "; EndTime : " & EndTime)
