Default how to high light cells

THANKS THIS WORKED WELL my next guestion is i want to protect each sheet when
i try & do this the macro does not work can i please get some help with this.
This is the Macro i ended up using

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Data As Range
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim k As Integer
Dim aq As Integer
i = 2
j = 34

k = ActiveCell.Column()
aq = ActiveCell.Column()

Set Data = Range("B6:AH259, AH6:BA259")
Data.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

If ActiveCell.Row < 6 Or ActiveCell.Row 259 Or _
ActiveCell.Column < 11 Or ActiveCell.Column 54 Then
Exit Sub
End If

ActiveCell.Offset(0, -(k - i)).Interior.ColorIndex = 37
ActiveCell.Offset(0, (j - k)).Interior.ColorIndex = 37

End Sub

Hi Mike,

Try this which highlights the column B and AH cell of activecell row within
("B6:AH37").

The activecell column rows 43 to 74 and 80 to 111 are highlighted also.
(You can probably add the other four ranges you want highlighted by adding
additional lines of code and changing the offset value for each.)

Don't know what to tell you about the conditional format coloring. In my
tests the CF coloring will prevail over the VBA code coloring.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Data As Range
Dim RowData As Range
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim k As Integer
Dim m As Integer
Dim l As Integer
i = 2
j = 34
m = 37

k = ActiveCell.Column()
l = ActiveCell.Row()

Set Data = Range("B6:AH37")
Set RowData = Range("B38:ah300")
Data.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
RowData.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

If ActiveCell.Row < 6 Or ActiveCell.Row 37 Or _
ActiveCell.Column < 2 Or ActiveCell.Column 34 Then
Exit Sub
End If

ActiveCell.Offset(0, -(k - i)).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
ActiveCell.Offset(0, (j - k)).Interior.ColorIndex = 40

ActiveCell.Offset((m - l) + 6, 0). _
Resize(32, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
ActiveCell.Offset((m - l) + 43, 0). _
Resize(32, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 40

End Sub

Hi Mike,

Perhaps try this sample of row highlighting to see if it is what you want
to happen. We can expand it to cover your range but take a look at what
happens if you click on any cell in Range("B8:K22").

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Data As Range
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim k As Integer
i = 2
j = 8
k = ActiveCell.Column()
Set Data = Range("B8:K22")

Data.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

If ActiveCell.Row < 8 Or ActiveCell.Row 22 Or _
ActiveCell.Column < 2 Or ActiveCell.Column 11 Then
Exit Sub
End If

ActiveCell.Offset(0, -(k - i)). _
Resize(1, 10).Interior.ColorIndex = 35

End Sub

Copy and paste in a test sheet module and then click any cell in the range
B8:K22. Then click outside of that range to see what happens, which
should be nothing.

Adjusting the values of i and j plus a few changes to the code to adopt
your range will be necessary.
