Question

Working on a situation where if i cant logically go through and add a new range of cells to a pre-defined Conditional Format then i will have to format close to 1000 rows.

After reading this article on MSDN, it says Index or Name, obviously someone got lazy and just copy/pasted information. But by the off chance, can a name be associated with a Conditional Format?

If not, then how do i control order in which the Formats are read? They are all formula formats, and none are the prefab types.

Answer 1

You can use the SetFirstPrioritymethod to order your format conditions, or just create them as you go, with each condition coming after the previous one, as in the below code.

Dim myRange As Range

Set myRange = Selection

With myRange

    'First condition
    .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=A6=125"
    With .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).Interior
        .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark2
        .TintAndShade = -0.899960325937681
    End With
    .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).StopIfTrue = False

    'second condition
    .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=A6=250"
    With .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).Interior
        .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark2
        .TintAndShade = -0.899960325937681
    End With
    .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).StopIfTrue = False

End With
