Hi,

Is there any way in which I could click in any cell on a workbook and
the column would highlight up to that cell, and the row would also
highlight up to that cell?

It's something that might make data entry a lot easier when viewing a
couple of documents at the same time!

Dan.

Try putting this in ThisWorkbook module:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target
As Range)
Sh.Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
With Rows(Target.Row).Interior
.ColorIndex = 6
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End If
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
With Columns(Target.Column).Interior
.ColorIndex = 6
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End If
End Sub

Good afternoon Voododan

It's certainly possible, although there are issues with running code
that is constantly updated in that this would constantly clear the undo
stack - if you make a mistake, there is no undo facility to fall back
on. Chip Pearson provides a routine to run to do this he

Although he has written an add-in that's much more enhanced - and free,
so try that.
