Object Color Based on Cell Value w/out VBA
Object Color Based on Cell Value w/out VBA
(OP)
I was driving home today and thought of changing an object's color based on cell value (number - integer) without VBA. I've not investigated (yet!), but is there a method to accomplish this without VBA? I am aware of the conditional format for cells, but what about object? thanks!

I created a box. Then I selected it.
Then I selected from top of screen "Format"... the conditional formatting dialog was grayed out (it's not grayed out when a cell is selected instead of an object).
Then I right-clicked the box for formatting options... no conditional options.
Out of curiostiy - why not vba? Personal preference to avoid vba in general or some other reason?

One that comes to mind is the checkbox from the forms menu. Can easily be tied to change state based on cell contents with no vba. There are of course other forms objects that link, but we're still not sure what it is you are trying to do.

(where M3 is a cell address). The contents of cell M3 will display in text within your rectangle. Change M3 and the rectangle text will update. However any conditional formatting applied to M3 does not show up on the associated text of the rectangle.
