You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Open the workbook in the above folder. It gives the ten best films of all time, as listed on RottenTomatoes:
Who's this Dr. Caligari, anyway?
Your task is to write a macro to loop over the titles shown selected above, colouring in the films which have garnered more than 100 reviews. One way to get a reference to the films to loop over is this:
'set a variable to refer to the column of films
Dim FilmRange As Range
'get a reference to block of films
Set FilmRange = Range( _
Range("B4"), _
Range("B4").End(xlDown))
Your algorithm for the rest of the macro could be:
'FOR EACH film IN the range of films
'IF the value of the cell 2 to the right is more than 100 THEN
'show film in immediate window
'colour in film's cell
'END IF
'NEXT
One way to colour in a cell is like this:
FilmCell.Interior.Color = RGB(200, 200, 255)
The final output should look like this:
It might have been easier to colour them manually ...
Save this workbook as Coloured films, then close it down.
