Default Macros to color cells

One more way to answer #1.

Record a macro when you change the color to what you like.
Stop recording and look at that code.
Then delete that macro.

I'll often start a new workbook, do that recording and close without saving.

For #2.
View|toolbars|show the Forms toolbar
click on the button icon
and add it to your sheet.

You'll be prompted to assign a macro. If you don't do that assignment right
away, you can rightclick on that button and choose Assign Macro.

Remember, this is a button from the Forms toolbar--not the commandbutton from
the Control toolbox toolbar.

Thanks, that worked great. Two more things.

1. What number do I use for the color of light yellow?

2. How do I create a box or button to put the macro into so I can toggle it
on or off?

Dim sh1 As Worksheet, sh2 As Worksheet
Set sh1 = Sheets("original")
Set sh2 = Sheets("revised")
For Each r In sh1.UsedRange
v1 = r.Value
rr = r.Row
cc = r.Column
v2 = sh2.Cells(rr, cc).Value
If v1 < v2 Then
sh2.Cells(rr, cc).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next

End Sub

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a macro or some other way to
highlight cells when there is a change.

For example I have two tabs, one original and one revised, for all of the
numbers that change in the revised tab I would like to automatically
highlight so we can easily track them. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks...Peter
