Jodie,

the problem with doing it with a macro is that when the cell is shaded then
shaded it remains. If the value in the cell changes to less than zero the
colour remains.

Conditional formatting is different, here Excel monitors the value based
upon the conditional format you set so lets see how to do it.

I don't know your version of Excel so I assume E2003. Select A1 and try this

Click Format|Conditional formatting
Formula is and enter the formula
=A10
Pattern tab and choose a colour
OK

Now try entering values in a1 and see the colour change. You can use the
format painter to copy this CF into multiple cells

I thank you both. I am not familiar with conditional formatting. I am
trying to include this highlighting in a macro that I have written to do
other things in the same spreadsheet. Is this something that could be done
with conditional highlighting?

Jodie,

You don't need a macro for this, conditional formatting is a better approach
but if it's a macro you want try this

Sub Shade_Cells()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set MyRange = Range("A1:A" & LastRow)
For Each c In MyRange
If IsNumeric(c.Value) And c.Value 0 Then
c.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
Next
End Sub

I need to write a macro where all cells within a specified column are
highlighted in yellow if they have a value greater than zero. Can anyone
please help with this?
