  2. Dear Adam,
    Thank you for your concern. You can not change the color of Excel button but you can use Command Button to change the button color.
    You can follow the steps below to color your command button:
    1. use Developer tab > Insert > ActiveX Controls > Command Button.
    Adding Command button
    2. A command will appear and right click on it.
    3. Choose CommandButton Object > Edit.
    right click on the command button
    Name the button as Start.
    4. Now right click on the command button and choose View Code.
    view code
    5. Then write code below for starting.

    
    Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    countDown = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
    Range("B4") = Range("B4") + TimeValue("00:00:01")
    Application.OnTime countDown, "StartTimer"
    CommandButton2.BackColor = 13959039
    End Sub
    

    Finally the button color has been added.
    start button colored
    6. Now create a stop buttom and use the code below:

    
    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=countDown, Procedure:="StartTimer", Schedule:=False
    CommandButton1.BackColor = 13959039
    End Sub
    

    7. Write down the code for reset button:

    
    Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
    Range("B4") = TimeValue("00:00:0")
    CommandButton3.BackColor = 13959039
    End Sub
    

    Finally, you will have colored command button. You can change the color by changing color code 13959039.

  3. Dear Kelley Sauer,
    Please use this formula below to count sales having date.
    =COUNTIF(E5:E14, "<>")
    Count cells when date is used
    It will count all sales with date. Using this formula, you will not get zero anymore. Moreover I have also used Ctrl+: to insert date.

  4. Dear Anas,
    You have to write the following code to get data validation for duplicate values, you have write the code below.

    
    Sub CreateUniqueDropDownListInC12()
        Dim ws As Worksheet
        Dim cell As Range
        Dim dict As Object
        Dim dataValidation As Validation
        Dim dvList As String
        
        ' Define the worksheet where you want to apply the data validation
        Set ws = ActiveSheet
        
        ' Create a dictionary object to store unique values
        Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        
        ' Loop through the specified range (C5 to C11)
        For Each cell In ws.Range("C5:C11")
            If cell.Value <> "" Then ' Check for non-empty cells
                If Not dict.Exists(cell.Value) Then
                    dict(cell.Value) = 1 ' Add the value to the dictionary
                End If
            End If
        Next cell
        
        ' Convert the unique values to a comma-separated string for data validation
        dvList = Join(dict.Keys, ",")
        
        ' Apply data validation with a dropdown list to cell C12
        Set dataValidation = ws.Range("C12").Validation
        With dataValidation
            .Delete
            .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:=dvList
            .IgnoreBlank = True
            .InCellDropdown = True
            .ShowInput = True
            .ShowError = True
        End With
        
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub
    

    Then we get the data values of unique departments Marketing and Sales.

  8. Dear Prince,
    Thank you very much for reading our article.
    According to your query, 1st you wanted to know about a formula to create a drop-down list that will be used to select different types of leaves. You will get that in Step 3 of this article. In our Excel file, we selected leave using the drop-down list in Record sheet. Also when you move to any month leave information will be based on the Record sheet. So, information will not move from one month to another. Try this and hope you will get the solution.
    Otherwise, send your Excel file with what you want to get and we will try to provide a solution. You can mail us at [email protected].
    Thanks

  10. This code will solve your problem. The code has a condition checking values blank or not.

    Sub Duplicates_Dif_Colors()
    Dim RG As Range
    Dim TT As String
    Dim CL As Range
    Dim CR As String
    Dim CP As Range
    Dim CD As Long
    Dim Cltn As Collection
    Dim J As Long
    
    On Error Resume Next
    
    If ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Count > 1 Then
    TT = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.AddressLocal
    Else
    TT = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.AddressLocal
    End If
    
    Set RG = Application.InputBox("Select range of data with duplicates:", "Duplicate values with Colors", TT, , , , , 8)
    If RG Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    
    CD = 2
    Set Cltn = New Collection
    
    For Each CL In RG
    If CL.Value <> "" Then ' check if cell is not blank
    On Error Resume Next
    Cltn.Add CL, CL.Text
    If Err.Number = 457 Then
    CD = CD + 1
    Set CP = Cltn(CL.Text)
    If CP.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then CP.Interior.ColorIndex = CD
    CL.Interior.ColorIndex = CP.Interior.ColorIndex
    ElseIf Err.Number = 9 Then
    MsgBox "Found excessive duplicates", vbCritical, "Duplicates with Colors"
    Exit Sub
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    End If
    Next
    End Sub
    

    Output:

    Blank cells not colored

  11. Please write Ticker correctly both in your xlsx file and the code. Do not try to give invalid ticker or outdated ticker. Provide problems in detail for better service please.

  12. First, you have to create different power queries for each worksheet for other tickers and copy the same code. Otherwise, it triggers the first. Then for 10 different tickers,the code is

    
    let
        TickerList = {"AAPL", "GOOG", "MSFT", "AMZN", "FB", "TSLA", "NVDA", "JPM", "BAC", "V"},
        StartDate = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="StartDate"]}[Content]{0}[Column1],
        EndDate = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="EndDate"]}[Content]{0}[Column1],
        #"Loop Through Tickers" = List.Transform(TickerList, each
            let
                Ticker = _,
                Source = Csv.Document(Web.Contents("https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/"&Ticker&"?period1"&StartDate&"&period2"&EndDate),[Delimiter=",", Columns=7, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
                #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
                #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Date", type date}, {"Open", type number}, {"High", type number}, {"Low", type number}, {"Close", type number}, {"Adj Close", type number}, {"Volume", Int64.Type}})
            in
                #"Changed Type"
        ),
        #"Loop Through Tickers1" = #"Loop Through Tickers"{8}
    in
        #"Loop Through Tickers1"

    this code creates 10 tables for 10 different tickers. You have to select one table according to Ticker and hover over the query in Workbook Query Section and press View in Worksheet. You will get the table have to create 10 sheets separately.
