Excel supports more than 16 million colors in a cell; hence you should know how to set the exact color in a cell. To do this, you can use RGB (Red, Green, Blue) function in VBA to set the color of a cell. The function requires 3 numbers from 0 to 255 [e.g. RGB(234,232,98)]. Below is a practice code that changes cell colors to Green, Red and Blue.
'This function can be used to change the color of a cell
Public Sub ChangeCellColor()
'Change cell color to green
Sheet1.Range("C4").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0)
'Change cell color to red
Sheet1.Range("C5").Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
'Change cell color to blue
Sheet1.Range("C6").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255)
End Sub

Merge Excel Files From last few months, we have been receiving frequent requests from users for a VBA tool which can consolidate Excel files from a folder. So here we come with one more free…
Through formatting the cells, you can make your Excel data more beautiful and easier to understand. If you record a macro to add borders to Excel range, you will notice that it generates 30 plus lines of code for just a small work. Here we are sharing one line of code which does the same thing.
Here we are coming with one more exciting post which can help you to solve very basic but very important problems while writing VBA codes.
In MS Access, the best way to create a multiuser tool is to divide your solution. One part acts as interface and other one acts as database. You can have multiple copies of the interface distributed to users which are connected to central MS Access database saved at common shared drive. To connect the interface to database, you can use link table feature (Access>External Data>Import & Link) available in MS Access. Below is a commonly required VBA code which helps the developers to re-link MS Access linked tables when the database is renamed or moved to other location
VBA to Read Excel Data Using Connection String Sometimes as a programmer you need to read heavy (more then 5 MB) Excel files. There are two ways you can read data from Excel files: Open…
To ensure that your VBA project works smoothly without any error, you need to put lot of error handlers and validations. Here is one of them, below code can be used to check if the given path is valid or not. You just need to provide the path of the file to the function and it will check if the file exist at the location. If it returns True that means the file is available at the path, if it returns False that means it is invalid path or the file does not exist at the location.
