I am trying to figure out a way to cycle through active borders in Excel and to change their colors to "next one" with each macro run.
Here is the code I've got:
Dim Color1 As Variant
Dim Color2 As Variant
Dim Color3 As Variant
Dim Color4 As Variant
Dim Color5 As Variant
Color_default = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Color1 = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Color2 = RGB(0, 255, 0)
Color3 = RGB(0, 0, 255)
Color4 = RGB(222, 111, 155)
Color5 = RGB(111, 111, 111)
Dim cell As Range
Dim positions As Variant
Dim i As Integer
positions = Array(xlDiagonalDown, xlDiagonalDown, xlEdgeLeft, xlEdgeTop, xlEdgeBottom, xlEdgeRight, xlInsideVertical, xlInsideHorizontal)
For Each cell In Selection
For i = LBound(positions) To UBound(positions)
If cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).LineStyle <> xlNone Then
If cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color_default Then
cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color1
ElseIf cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color1 Then
cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color2
ElseIf cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color2 Then
cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color3
ElseIf cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color3 Then
cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color4
ElseIf cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color4 Then
cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color5
Else
cell.BORDERS(positions(i)).Color = Color_default
End If
End If
Next i
Next cell
It works. It does not change the weight of the borders and it does not add new borders (only changes the existing ones). The issue is that when two cells are nearby, the outer borders are changes to "next+1" color, and the inner borders are changed to "next+2" color, as they are looped through two times...
I have been thinking about the solution to this for quite a while now, but I cannot find any way to solve it.
Anyone willing to help? Thanks!
