VBA excel condition

assuming that you have your data like Toyota and Corolla somewhere in the sheet.

lets assume that your conditional data is in F and G
so if A Toyota is not equal to F value and D Corolla is not equal to G value then it will trigger red background. check it in the attached file.  add more data and you will see the highlight is automatic
Book3.xlsx

You are right, but i want to trigger red only column A cell and D cell not the whole row. Also, I want to have multiple conditions, like instead of Toyota and Corolla if we have "Cell phone" in column A and "Bill" in Column D then it should be also ok otherwise it should trigger the red background.
Thanks

But you need to have your conditional data somewhere I mean  list of cellphone etc name against which the check on cells need to happen.  You need to put those in F and G or anywhere you like but the data from which the column A and D to be tested must exist somewhere, otherwise excel wouldn't know to check cells of A and D against what data?

I will revise the workbook range that it only colours the two columns if mismatch not the entire row .

Yes we can put the conditional data in sheet2.

Hi Snhandle,

i dont want to step in Flora's toes here, but thought to quickly answer.  

please see attached.   the conditional data are in sheet2  Column A and Column B.
Book3.xlsx

But I want to highlight the  cells A and D, not the whole row. Also, I want to put multiple condition in sheet two, if cell A and D matches any of those condition then it should not make cell A and D in sheet one red.

Any help?

Snhandle

please see attached. only highlights A and D
Book3.xlsx

where can i find the VBA script? When I go to VBA, no script is there.

I want to see the script so I can modify it according to my needs. Also, I need to highlights those cell only when in the sheet2 there is no match in the column A and B not just the cells.

Look, when you can do things with build in functions of excel, there is no need for VBA. Vba will make your spreadsheet slow and you would not know modify the code , unless you know vba language . Check the last workbook I attached then check the conditional formatting  and see the range and formula inside conditional formatting, then you would be able to modify it according your need..

The above VBA working fine the only thing is it does not highlight the column A cell in case the condition is not true, it only highlight column D cell if the condition is not true. Also, how i can add multiple conditions into this statement like if column A has mercedez then column d should have benz and so on.
Thanks

Hi snhandle,

Maybe something like this would work better for you:
(you will be able to add the car combinations you would like in the IF statement)

Sub EE_CellCheckCode()
Dim index As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet

'set the sheet to use
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet3")

    For index = 1 To ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

    'Checks if cells in Column A & Column D MATCH the specified combination
        If ws.Range("A" & index).Value = "Toyota" And ws.Range("D" & index).Value = "Corolla" Or _
            ws.Range("A" & index).Value = "Toyota" And ws.Range("D" & index).Value = "Tacoma" Or _
            ws.Range("A" & index).Value = "Toyota" And ws.Range("D" & index).Value = "Tundra" Or _
            ws.Range("A" & index).Value = "Mercedes" And ws.Range("D" & index).Value = "Benz" Or _
            ws.Range("A" & index).Value = "Honda" And ws.Range("D" & index).Value = "Fit" Or _
            ws.Range("A" & index).Value = "Honda" And ws.Range("D" & index).Value = "Civic" Or _
            ws.Range("A" & index).Value = "Honda" And ws.Range("D" & index).Value = "Accord" Then
            'DOES NOT Fill any color if both cell values MEET the above conditions
            ws.Range("A" & index).Interior.Color = xlNone
            ws.Range("D" & index).Interior.Color = xlNone
        Else
            'Highlights both cell values RED (if FALSE; criteria DOES NOT MEET above conditions)
            ws.Range("A" & index).Interior.Color = vbRed
            ws.Range("D" & index).Interior.Color = vbRed
        End If

    Next index

End Sub
