Color Entire Row Based on Cell Value

Question

I\'m trying to color an entire row if two cells in that row have the same value.

For i = 2 To LastRow
    If Worksheets(\"Request Results\").Cells(i, 4).Valu         


        

Answer 1

I used something like this on a similar row highlighting problem.

For Each Rng in SomeRange.Columns(1).Cells
  Rng.EntireRow.Interior.Color = 5296274
Next

Answer 2

change ColorIndex to Color.

Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Interior.Color = 5296274

Answer 3

Does anyone know what could be causing this error?

From the MSDN help on the ColorIndex Property:

The ColorIndex property can have valid integer arguments between 0 and 56 that generate color. However, you can assign decimal or string values to the property without generating a run-time error. In these instances, Excel tries to randomly apply a color that corresponds to the argument value. However, setting the property to an integer value outside the range of 0 to 56 causes the following error:

Runtime Error '9': Subscript out of range

You can find the Color Palette with the valid indices on the same page:

Note that ColorIndex is different than Color, which uses the RGB specification and is more versatile. More info on Color vs ColorIndex here.

I personally prefer using Color and the built-in VBA Color Enumerations vbBlack, vbRed, vbGreen, vbYellow, vbBlue, vbMagenta, vbCyan, and vbWhite. For most applications these are enough, but if more colors are necessary then using a custom enumeration color is also possible, and more elegant than looking up the RGB tables..

I hope this helps!
