Excel vba cell all borders

This tutorial will show how to adjust cell border settings in VBA.

Formatting Borders

Top Border – Double Line

First let’s look at an example of how to set a blue, thick, doubled top border to the cell B3 on Sheet1:

Sub ExampleSetBorder()

 With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B3").Borders(xlEdgeTop)
  .LineStyle = xlDouble
  .Weight = xlThick
  .ColorIndex = 5
 End With

End Sub

Notice we use a With Statement to simplify our coding.

We access the the top border with .Borders(xlEdgeTop).

Other Cell Borders

Instead you can access other borders, including diagonals:

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Borders(xlEdgeTop).Color = RGB(128, 0, 0)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Borders(xlEdgeRight).Color = RGB(0, 255, 0)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Color = RGB(0, 0, 128)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Borders(xlDiagonalDown).Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Borders(xlDiagonalUp).Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)

Inside Borders

You can also adjust horizontal (xlInsideHorizontal) and vertical (xlInsideVertical) borders for all cells in a range:

With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2:C6").Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
 .LineStyle = xlDashDotDot
 .Weight = xlMedium
 .ColorIndex = 3
End With

LineStyle

The LineStyle property can be changed to xlContinuous, xlDot, xlDash, xlDashDot, xlDashDotDot, xlDouble, xlSlantDashDot and xlLineStyleNone.

The Weight property can be either xlHariline, xlThin, xlMedium and xlThick. You will have this result with the code below:

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C3").Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlHairline
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C3").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlHairline
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D3").Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlThin
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D3").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThin
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E3").Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlMedium
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E3").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlMedium
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("F3").Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlThick
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("F3").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThick

Border colors can be set as ColorIndex or Color (RGB, serial number or vbColor). See more information about color settings here.

You can add borders around a range with a one-line command as well:

Range("B5:C7").BorderAround LineStyle:=xlContinuous, Weight:=xlThick, Color:=vbRed

Borders object (Excel)

A collection of four Border objects that represent the four borders of a Range object or Style object.

Use the Borders property to return the Borders collection, which contains all four borders. You can apply different borders to each side of a cell or range. For more information how to apply borders to a range of cells, see Range.Borders property.

You can set border properties for an individual border only with Range and Style objects. Other bordered objects, such as error bars and series lines, have a border that’s treated as a single entity, regardless of how many sides it has. For these objects, you must return and set properties for the entire border as a unit. For more information, see the Border object.

Examples

The following example adds a double border to cell A1 on worksheet one.

Use Borders (index), where index identifies the border, to return a single Border object. Index can be one of the following XlBordersIndex constants: xlDiagonalDown, xlDiagonalUp, xlEdgeBottom, xlEdgeLeft, xlEdgeRight, xlEdgeTop, xlInsideHorizontal, or xlInsideVertical.

The following example sets the color of the bottom border of cells A1:G1 to red.

The following example generates a thin border around all cells in the range.

The following example changes only the inner cell borders of the range.

Объект Borders (Excel)

Коллекция из четырех объектов Border , представляющих четыре границы объекта Range или объекта Style .

Замечания

Используйте свойство Borders , чтобы вернуть коллекцию Borders , которая содержит все четыре границы. Можно применить разные границы к каждой стороне ячейки или диапазона. Дополнительные сведения о применении границ к диапазону ячеек см. в разделе Свойство Range.Borders .

Вы можете задать свойства границы для отдельной границы только с помощью объектов Range и Style . Другие объекты с границами, такие как полосы ошибок и линии рядов, имеют границу, которая обрабатывается как одна сущность, независимо от того, сколько сторон она имеет. Для этих объектов необходимо возвращать и задавать свойства для всей границы в виде единицы. Дополнительные сведения см. в разделе Объект Border .

Примеры

В следующем примере двойная граница добавляется в ячейку A1 на одном листе.

Используйте border (index), где индекс определяет границу, чтобы вернуть один объект Border . Индекс может быть одной из следующих констант XlBordersIndex : xlDiagonalDown, xlDiagonalUp, xlEdgeBottom, xlEdgeLeft, xlEdgeRight, xlEdgeTop, xlInsideHorizontal или xlInsideVertical.

В следующем примере задается красный цвет нижней границы ячеек A1:G1.

В следующем примере создается тонкая граница вокруг всех ячеек в диапазоне.

В следующем примере изменяются только внутренние границы ячейки диапазона.

VBA Excel. Программное создание границ ячеек

Программное создание границ ячеек произвольного диапазона с помощью кода VBA Excel. Свойство Borders объекта Range. Создание границ одной ячейки. Код макроса.

Программное создание границ ячеек

Если записать макрос добавления границ к ячейкам какого-нибудь диапазона, то в тексте макроса будет сгенерировано очень много строк с указанием различных параметров. Создать сетку из границ ячеек с параметрами «по умолчанию» можно гораздо проще.

Создание границ одной ячейки

Создать границы ячейки (только для одной ячейки) в VBA Excel можно следующим образом:

Пример кода записанного макроса

Запись макроса: включаем запись, выбираем диапазон «A1:E9», на панели инструментов выбираем значок «Все границы», останавливаем запись. И это все наши выполненные действия, а в результате получаем следующий код:

Конечно, можно использовать в своих программах код, сгенерированный при записи макроса, который будет прекрасно работать. Вот только нужны ли в самописном коде такие нагромождения лишних строк?

Макросы можно и нужно использовать, когда вы не знаете название нужного свойства или его значения, а после записи макроса открываете модуль и все перед глазами. Это касается не только создания границ ячеек, но и всех остальных случаев, когда предполагаемые действия можно записать с помощью макроса.

Создание и удаление диагональных линий

Диагональные линии не относятся к границам ячеек, но принцип работы с ними тот же. Отличие заключается в том, что для отображения и удаления диагональных линий, их необходимо указывать явно:

Расположение границ ячеек и диапазонов

Расположение границ по краям и внутри ячеек и диапазонов описывают константы из коллекции XlBordersIndex.

Список констант XlBordersIndex:

Константа	Значение	Описание
xlDiagonalDown	5	Диагональная линия от верхнего левого угла к нижнему правому углу в каждой ячейке диапазона.
xlDiagonalUp	6	Диагональная линия от нижнего левого угла к правому верхнему углу в каждой ячейке диапазона.
xlEdgeBottom	9	Граница по нижнему краю диапазона.
xlEdgeLeft	7	Граница по левому краю диапазона.
xlEdgeRight	10	Граница по правому краю диапазона.
xlEdgeTop	8	Граница по верхнему краю диапазона.
xlInsideHorizontal	12	Горизонтальные границы для всех ячеек в диапазоне, за исключением внешних границ диапазона.
xlInsideVertical	11	Вертикальные границы для всех ячеек в диапазоне, за исключением внешних границ диапазона.

Толщина границ ячеек и диапазонов

Толщину границ по краям и внутри ячеек и диапазонов описывают константы из коллекции XlBorderWeight.

Список констант XlBorderWeight:

Константа	Значение	Описание
xlHairline	1	Очень тонкая граница
xlThin	2	Тонкая граница (по умолчанию)
xlMedium	-4138 | 3*	Граница средней толщины
xlThick	4	Толстая граница

* У меня, в Excel 2016, константе xlMedium соответствует не только числовое значение -4138, но и 3.

Стили границ (типы линий)

Стили границ по краям и внутри ячеек и диапазонов описывают константы из коллекции XlLineStyle.

Список констант XlLineStyle:

Константа	Значение	Описание
xlContinuous	1	Непрерывная линия
xlDash	-4115	Штриховая линия
xlDashDot	4	Чередование точек и тире
xlDashDotDot	5	Чередование двух точек и тире
xlDot	-4118	Пунктирная линия
xlDouble	-4119	Двойная линия
xlLineStyleNone	-4142	Нет границы (удаление границы)
xlSlantDashDot	13	Линия, разрезанная двойными слешами

Применяем разные типы линий к разным сторонам выделенного диапазона:

Examples of Borders in VBA

Let us take a look at some examples to understand this in a better manner.

Example #1 – Apply VBA Borders with Coding

Creating a macro to apply Excel VBA borders with different styles, making them available as an add-on to the excel Add-on To The Excel An add-in is an extension that adds more features and options to the existing Microsoft Excel. read more ribbon, makes the job easier whenever we want to apply VBA borders.

Every cell in a worksheet has borders and background colors. By default, every cell has no border and background color.

In the worksheet under the HOME tab, we have a border option. In addition, we have various options if you click on the drop-down list in excel Drop-down List In Excel A drop-down list in excel is a pre-defined list of inputs that allows users to select an option. read more .

But in VBA, first, we must decide on the cell or range of cells. Then, we will apply the Excel VBA borders formatting styles. So, we can refer to the range of cells or cells using VBA RANGE Cells Using VBA RANGE The range property of VBA is used to refer to any data, cells, or selection. It is an inbuilt property that allows us to access any part of the worksheet. Using the range property for a single cell-like range is referred to as range cells. read more object. So, for example, if you want to change the border of cell B5, then you can write the code like this.

Range(“B5”)

Then, we need to access the “Borders” property.

Code:

After applying the Excel VBA “Borders” property, we must open parenthesis to see all border formatting options..

Code:

Here, we have xlDiagonalDown, xlDiagonalUp, xlEdgeBottom, xlEdgeLeft, xlEdgeRight, xlEdgeTop, xlInsideHorizontal, and xlInsideVertical.

After selecting the border style, we need to select the characteristic we want to work with. One of the characters we need to use here is “LineStyle,” so select the “LineStyle” property.

Code:

Once the line style property is selected, we need to set the line style type of line or type of borders we will apply in VBA.

Put an equal sign and select “XlLineStyle” enumeration.

Put a dot to see all the available border styles.

Code:

We have many options here. xlContinuous, xldash, xlDashDot, xlDashDotDot, xlDot, xlDouble, XlLineStyleNone, and xlSlantDashDot.

Now, we have selected the option of “xlDouble.”

Code:

Now, if I run the code, it will apply the Double line to the bottom of cell B5.

Line Type: “xlContinuous”.

Code:

Result:

Line Type: “clash.”

Code:

Result:

Line Type: “xlDashDot.”

Code:

Example #2 – Change the Border Using VBA Borders Around Method

We can also change the cell’s borders using the VBA Borders Around method. Once we mention the range of cells or cells, we need to access the VBA Borders Around method.

Open parenthesis to see all the parameters.

Range(“B5”).BorderAround([Line Style], [Weight as xlBorderWeight], [ColorIndex], [Color], [Theme Color])

We can mention the line style, color, border weight, and many more things we can do with this method.

Code:

It will change the Line Style to xlContinuous.

LineStyle:=xlContinuous

The weight of the Border is thick.

Weight:=xlThick

And the result of this code is as below.

Like this, using Excel VBA Borders and Border Around property and method, we can change the border and elements of borders through VBA coding.

Borders in Excel VBA

Borders are a necessary part of every worksheet or in any word file. Borders separate data from one another it shows which part of data is referred to which area to avoid any confusion. Also, it looks good to have borders in our datasheet. In excel worksheet we have options for inserting borders manually, but how we do it in VBA is what we will learn in this article.

To apply borders in VBA we need to access the properties of a cell and in the current case, the property we need to access is borders. Now we need to keep in mind that there are various types of options available in borders properties. Such as diagonal vertical up down etc. We will cover some of them here.

How to Use Borders in VBA

To use borders in VBA we need to follow these steps as follows:

1. Use range method to access the range value.
2. Use borders method if we want to format only a portion of cell or borders around if we want to cover the cells with borders.
3. Use different line styles to make the borders look pleasant.

You can download this VBA Border Excel Template here – VBA Border Excel Template

Now let us go through some examples and see how we can insert a border in excel cell.

Example #1 – VBA Borders

Let us use the basic enumerations what VBA provides us when we type the keywords to see the borders. We will put borders in cell A1 and see the result.

Step 1: Go to Developer’s tab, open visual basic and we will see a VB Editor.

Step 2: Insert a new module from the insert tab provided. Click on the module we just inserted which will open a code window for us,

Step 3: Declare a sub-function which means naming our macro.

Code:

Sub Sample()

End Sub

Step 4: Activate the worksheet first in order to use its properties by the following code below,

Code:

Sub Sample()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate

End Sub

Step 5: Now let us try to change the border of cell A1. Use the range method as below,

Code:

Sub Sample()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Borders

End Sub

Step 6: Select the borders properties which will give us an option to select the border style as follows,

Code:

Sub Sample()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Borders(

End Sub

Step 7: Select the first option which is Xdiagonalup as the border style.

Code:

Sub Sample()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Borders (xlDiagonalUp)

End Sub

Step 8: Now we need to use the line style for borders. After dot(.) operator use enumerations for line style as follows,

Code:

Sub Sample()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle

End Sub

Step 9: Type = sign and it will give us the numerous enumerations for linestyle as follows,

Code:

Sub Sample()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = XlLineStyle.xlDouble

End Sub

Step 10: Let us run the above code by pressing F5 and see the result in sheet 1 as follows,

Example #2 – VBA Border

Now let us use the other method for the border style in VBA.

Step 1: We already have our module inserted, Name a macro in it with another sub-function as follows,

Code:

Sub Sample1()

End Sub

Step 2: Activate the worksheet by the following code written below,

Code:

Sub Sample1()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate

End Sub

Step 3: Now let use the range method to activate the border properties such as shown below,

Code:

Sub Sample1()

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("C1").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = XlLineStyle.xlDashDot

End Sub

Step 4: Now run the above code and see the result in Sheet 1 as follows,

Example #3 – VBA Border

Let us try a few more of the border and line styles in another cell. This time we will use it in a cell range C5:E6.

Step 1: We already have our module inserted, Name a macro in it with another sub-function as follows,

Code:

Sub Sample2()

End Sub

Step 2: Activate the worksheet by the following code written below,

Code:

Sub Sample2()

Worksheets("Sheet3").Activate

End Sub

Step 3: Now let use the range method to activate the border properties such as shown below,

Code:

Sub Sample2()

Worksheets("Sheet3").Activate
Range("C5:E6").Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = XlLineStyle.xlSlantDashDot

End Sub

Step 4: Now run the above code and see the result in Sheet 1 as follows,

Example #4 – VBA Border

Now in this example, we will use borders around the cell covering the whole cell. Earlier what we did was border only one portion of the cell. Consider the following data we have in sheet 2 as follows,

Let us try to use a border around this data using the border around the method.

Step 1: We already have our module inserted, Name a macro in it with another sub-function as follows,

Code:

Sub Sample3()

End Sub

Step 2: Activate the worksheet by the following code written below,

Code:

Sub Sample3()

Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate

End Sub

Step 3: Now let’s use the range method to activate the border around properties such as shown below,

Code:

Sub Sample3()

Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
Range("A1:B6").BorderAround

End Sub

Step 4: Now use the line style and line thickness as follows,

Code:

Sub Sample3()

Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
Range("A1:B6").BorderAround LineStyle:=xlContinuous, Weight:=xlThick

End Sub

Step 5: Run the above code by pressing F5 and see the result in sheet 2 as follows,

Things to Remember

• Border around is used to cover all parts of cells.
• Borders method is used to cover only a portion of a cell.
• X Linestyles are used to use different types of styles in borders.
• Inserting borders is similar to formatting data.
• Borders in VBA are similar to borders in the worksheet, we need to remember the keyword for it to use.
