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?
