Change color of cell after user has input a number
 

I have a spreadsheet that populates a number of cells. The user has the
option to change the cell values. Now, ifthe user changes a value, I want the
value to be of a different colour.

Say the code-generated value of cell B1 is 137 (black colour)
if the user changes the value to 200, I want the colour to be red

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B1:B10"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 200: .Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
Case 2: .Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
Case 3: .Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue
Case 4: .Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
Case 5: .Interior.ColorIndex = 1
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Where is says Case 4, change that to Case n where n is the number that you
want to trigger a green.
