We can highlight non-adjacent cells and total their values automatically with VBA. This strategy helps to perform automatic calculations and analysis on worksheet data quickly and easily.
Watch this training video on YouTube.
Here’s the complete VBA code:
Sub highlightNonAdjacentCells()
For i = 2 To 8
If Cells(i, 1) = “HDD” Then
Cells(i, 1).Font.ColorIndex = 2
Cells(i, 6).Font.ColorIndex = 2
Cells(i, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
End If
Next i
End Sub
Sub addValuesColoredCells()
Dim total As Single
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Sheets(“sheet1”).Range(“A” & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
total = 0
For i = 2 To lastrow
If Cells(i, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 5 Then
total = total + Cells(i, 6).Value
End If
Next i
MsgBox “The total value is ” & total
End Sub
Here’s an image of the Excel worksheet with highlighted data:
