I want to write a code in Excel VBA that compares the values in corresponding cells in 3 named ranges (say, "Peter", "Paul" & "John"), and if all three values are >= 3, then the interior color of the corresponding cell in a fourth named range say, "James", is changed to Green. I wrote the code using offset but the code doesn't work properly if I insert new columns in-between "Peter", "Paul" and "John". Please can you help me write a code that uses named ranges, to avoid an error when new columns are added? Thank you.
If Cell.Value >= 3 Then
If Cell.Offset(0, 1).Value >= 3 Then
If Cell.Offset(0, 2).Value >= 3 Then
If Cell.Offset(0, 3).Value >= 3 Then
Cell.Offset(0, 4).Interior.ColorIndex = 4
End If
End If
End If
End If
Next Cell
This works
Dim xCel As Range, rPtr As Long
Dim xSht As Worksheet
Set xSht = ActiveSheet
rPtr = 0
For Each xCel In xSht.Range("Peter").Cells
rPtr = rPtr + 1
If xCel.Value >= 3 Then
If xSht.Range("Paul").Cells(rPtr, 1).Value >= 3 Then
If xSht.Range("John").Cells(rPtr, 1).Value >= 3 Then
xSht.Range("James").Cells(rPtr, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 34
End If
End If
End If
Next xCel
This solves the problem you mentioned, but it still presumes all ranges are the same length and single column
