AskWoody LoungerThe one time that using the Forms toolbar for this is when you exchange files with the Mac versions of Excel. MS did not include ActiveX support on the Mac versions.

AskWoody LoungerI think it comes from J. Walkenbach.
I know I use it frequently.

AskWoody LoungerFor middle name put (checks to see whether there is a middle name):
=IF(ISERR(MID(A1,FIND(” “,A1)+1,IF(ISERR(FIND(” “,A1,FIND(” “,A1)+1)),FIND(” “,A1),FIND(” “,A1,FIND(” “,A1)+1))-FIND(” “,A1)-1)),””,MID(A1,FIND(” “,A1)+1,IF(ISERR(FIND(” “,A1,FIND(” “,A1)+1)),FIND(” “,A1),FIND(” “,A1,FIND(” “,A1)+1))-FIND(” “,A1)-1))

AskWoody LoungerI think, if you have already formatted one worksheet, you can select that area, and click on the Format Painter, then select all worksheets as Hans suggested, and click once where the upper left corner begins it will provide the conditional formatting.

AskWoody LoungerAnd as an occasional visitor, it would be better to title the thread something like “Conditional Formatting” rather than “Please see the Attachment” (which is not very helpful when browsing).
Thanks.

AskWoody LoungerThanks, Hans.
My view on merged cells is that they should be avoided whenever possible. My alternative is to use “Center Across Selection” which effectively does the same, without the negatives of a merged cell (for further use of Excel capabilities).

AskWoody LoungerI will try to locate the source of the code, also. [EDIT: I included the links to Jon Peltier’s web site). I modified it to use XL2002 rather than XL97.]
Since I use a Mac at home, I tried these codes in Excel 2001 (Mac OS 9.2.2), and had to slightly modify them:
I had to change one line in each.
Set PPApp = GetObject(, “Powerpoint.Application”)
(Remove the reference to Office Number)

AskWoody LoungerHere is the corresponding one for charts:

AskWoody LoungerI picked up this handy code, and attached to a toolbar because I use it so often.
