How to change textbox color based on value in Excel?

Just select the text in question and choose a color from the Font Color dropdown in the Font group (on the Home tab). In Word 2007, this option's on the Formatting toolbar.

In Excel, we can apply the Conditional Formatting function to change the background color based on cell value, but, in this article, I will talk about how to change textbox color based on cell value or value in textbox.

Change textbox color based on cell value with VBA code

• Switch over to the “Insert” tab on Word’s Ribbon, and then click the “Text Box” button. In the dropdown menu, click the “Draw Text Box” command. Your pointer changes into a cross-hair symbol. Press and drag your mouse to draw your text box. After you create the new text box, you can begin typing your text right away.
• It is my understanding after doing a lot of research that it is not possible to change the color of selected text in Word 2016, but I wanted to make sure that this is actually the case. It seems absolutely ridiculous that we would not have this option.
• Fill format: Displays the color palette with a Fill Effects option. Choosing Fill Effects displays the Format Shape dialog. Choosing Fill Effects displays the Format Shape dialog. Line format: Formats the line that surrounds a shape.
• 2.Then right click the textbox, and select View Code from the context menu to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, and then replace the original code with the following VBA code into the blank module. VBA code: Change textbox color based on cell values: Private Sub TextBox1Change If ActiveSheet.Range('A1').Value ActiveSheet.Range('B1').Value Then Me.TextBox1.BackColor.

Let’s say, if cell value in A1 is greater than cell value in B1, I want the textbox to be filled with red color, on the contrary, the textbox should be filled with yellow color. Please achieve this job with following steps:

1. Insert a textbox by clicking Developer > Insert > Text Box (ActiveX Control), and then draw a textbox, see screenshot:

2. Then right click the textbox, and select View Code from the context menu to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, and then replace the original code with the following VBA code into the blank module:

Note: In the above code, TextBox1is the textbox name that you inserted, A1 and B1 are the two cells you want to change textbox color based on, please change them to your need.

  Nevermind, I figured it out. Instead of making the event which triggers the change 'Textbox1_GotFocus()', I made it 'Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)'. Now any time the value in one of the cells changes, the textbox color changes automatically.

  For me, when trying to change the textbox color value based on two cell values, the textbox only updates if you type something into the textbox. I need it to update automatically. Guess I'll just have to learn VBA to figure out why.
