Excel - Change cell colour based on a date
0
I'm trying to use this Sub I found on the forum, but I'm having lots of problems because in my sheet, I've got some date cells with * or other without any information inside and when the Sub gets to these cells multiple errors occurs, could anyone help me with this issue?
Thank you very much in advance.
Sub WorkOutTime()
dim columnToUse as string
columnToUse = "X"
Dim expired As Integer
expired = 3 'red
Dim twoDays As Integer
twoDays = 8 'blue
Dim sevenDays As Integer
sevenDays = 27 ' yellow
Dim fourteenDays As Integer
fourteenDays = 7 ' purple
Dim currentCell As Integer
currentCell = 1
Do While (True)
If (Range(columnToUse & currentCell).Value = "") Then
Exit Do
End If
Dim timeNow As Date
timeNow = Date
Dim willContinue As Boolean
willContinue = True
Dim dateDifference As Integer
dateDifference = dateDiff("d", timeNow, Range(columnToUse & currentCell).Value)
If dateDifference >= 14 And willContinue Then
Range(columnToUse & currentCell).Interior.ColorIndex = fourteenDays
willContinue = False
End If
If dateDifference <= 7 And dateDifference > 2 And willContinue Then
Range(columnToUse & currentCell).Interior.ColorIndex = sevenDays
End If
If dateDifference <= 2 And dateDifference >= 0 And willContinue Then
Range(columnToUse & currentCell).Interior.ColorIndex = twoDays
End If
If dateDifference < 0 And willContinue Then
Range(columnToUse & currentCell).Interior.ColorIndex = expired
End If
currentCell = currentCell + 1
Loop
End Sub

Would Conditional Formatting not work? Also, what error(s) do you get, where?
