Identify Border Style Cell Excel

Time:02-24

I'm trying to figure out the particular border style of cell within a workbook that I received. The normal way to do this would be ctrl 1->Border and look at the style. However, the style for this particular cell is blanked out and I suspect that the border is formatted using a proprietary style. How do I get the properties of this border style (I guess with VBA?) in order to set up my own macro which then applies this particular border style to other cells?

I hope someone can help me out here.

EDIT:

CodePudding user response:

I believe you need to add bold white borders to the left and right-hand sides of the cell to generate the effect.

CodePudding user response:

In Excel, select the cell with the border in question.

Change to the VBE environment (Alt F11). Open the Immediate Window (Ctrl G). Type in the immediate window:

? ActiveCell.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle

And

? ActiveCell.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight

Compare the values with the documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.xllinestyle
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.xlborderweight

It would surprise me it one of the two values cannot be found in the lists.
