Default Help with macro or formula


hi all,

Need some assistance.

Have a spreadsheet shows 4000 warehouse locations (location of
products). Each cell is a location in the warehouse; some products have
more than one location. I import a text file into the wookbook which
tells me which product has more than one location (2, 3, 50, etc) if a
product take up more than 1 location, the location are always next to
each other.

What I’ve done so far is to use vlookup to look at locations in file
and allocated the number (the number of locations the product has) to
the cell that correspond to that location. What I need is a macro or
formula that will look at the cells and the number within and than
highlight the cells next to it according to the number in the cell (5
in cell, highlight 5 cells, 50 highlights 50). The warehouse runs up
one aisle and then down the next and so on. So I need to be able to
highlight cells up one column and then down the next and then up, then
down and so on.

Possible?

Hope I’ve explained myself clearly, any assistance would be
appreciated, really, been at it all day

Cheers
