Hi

This must be simple but just can't get my head around it.

I have VB code that runs through a number of cells and
checks against the value of another set of cells. What I
would like to do is change the background color of a cell
to yellow if the call matches. I thought I had tried
everything but does not seem to like anything I do.

This is part of the code:

While Not Cells(RwIndex, CoIndex).Value = ""
ChkValue = Cells(RwIndex, CoIndex).Value
Select Case ChkValue
Case Cells(2, 4)
Cells(RwIndex, CoIndex).?????????

I would appreciate your help.

Many Thanks

Steve

Steve,

You can change the background color of the cell to yellow with code like

Cells(RwIndex, CoIndex).Interior.ColorIndex = 3

Thanks Chip

I'm sure I tried that.

Still, Appreciate you help.

If I wanted my spreadsheet to continuously check and then
Highlight, can this be done?

At the moment I have this code attached to a button so it
is a manual process.

Best Regards

Steve

Steve,

You can use OnTime to schedule a macro to run every N seconds. See
www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm for details and example code.
