Default cell color assistance for excel

H! there,

Do below steps-
1. Open Excel, Press Alt+11 to open Visual Basic for Application (VBA)
window.
2. Here you will find the Project Window, Double click the "Sheet1" item in
the window
3. Paste the below code here.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 37
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 5
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Sanjay"

End Sub

4. Save it by pressing Ctrl + S key
5. Go back to Excel using Alt + tab key

6. now try Clicking in the sheet1 and see the effect of your code which you
wrote in VBA.

This is a small part of Macro, you can do it better than this.
I would suggest you to learn these things with Micro Recorder. Read online
help.!


Good Luck,
Sanjay
