So I have a query in access that I want to send back to excel. While using the export wizard is fine and dandy I want to add more automation to the exporting process. So far I am working on code so during the export the final excel sheet will have some formatting. As far as basic formatting I am fine, I found many resources to help me with this.
My problem is that I want to set up conditional formatting so that if a specific column(G) has a value, then the whole row is highlighted. I am a bit lost on how to set up conditional formatting for Excel through vba code in Access
Here is what I have
Dim appExcel As Variant
Dim MyStr As String
Dim rng As Excel.Range
' Creates Excel object and Adds a Workbook to it
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
appExcel.Visible = False
appExcel.Workbooks.Add
Set wksNew = appExcel.Worksheets("Sheet1")
appExcel.Visible = True
' The first thing I do to the worksheet is to set the font.
' Not all are required, but I included them as examples.
With appExcel
.Cells.Font.Name = "Calbri"
.Cells.Font.Size = 11
.Cells.NumberFormat = "@" 'all set to Text Fields
' My first row will contain column names, so I want to freeze it
.Rows("2:2").Select
.ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
' ... and I want the header row to be bold
.Rows("1:1").Font.Bold = True
.Rows("1:1").Font.ColorIndex = 1
.Rows("1:1").Interior.ColorIndex = 15
' Adds conditional formatting based on Values in the G column
rng = .Range("A2:J20").Select
rng.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=NOT($G2 = 0)"
rng.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
With appExcel.Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 65535
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
End With
Currently the code executes until my conditional formatting block and then it tells me that the Object Variable or With block is not set.
