I created this a while ago and have just tested it in Excel 2007 and it works a treat. I am going to update this post later with some improvements to it; which will let you import and export templates, change border thickness and also a couple of speed enhancements for 2007 – so watch this space.
The basic idea of the addin is that:
- You select the area of the Excel sheet you want to format
- Click the “Colour Format” button
- Dialog box (as shown below) opens and you select the colours you want the cells formatted to based on the different types ( Text, References, Numbers, Percentages, Formulas, Logical, Errors and Arrays)
- Click okay and the sheet is formatted
I have included the XLA addin below (zipped) which you are welcome to use. If you find any bugs or enhancements you think would be good then let me know.
