Is it possible to format a cell using VBA code

My code include the following

DatabaseWorksheet.Cells(DestinationRow, 1).Value = AssignDat

At the time this code is executed the cell is not formatted. How would I modify this code so that, in addition to being populated with AssignDate, borders and a pattern would be added

Thanks

Kevin

Here is an example. Just make a manual selection or uncomment the range and
modify to suit.

Sub Addborders()'Make selection and execute
Dim myBorders
Dim i As Integer
myBorders = Array(, xlEdgeLeft, xlEdgeRight, xlEdgeTop, xlEdgeBottom,
xlInsideVertical, xlInsideHorizontal)
For i = 1 To UBound(myBorders)
'Range("h2:J6").Select
With Selection.Borders(myBorders(i))
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
End With
Next
End Sub

The easiest way to see the code (and the possibilities) is to turn on the
macro recorder (tools=Macro=Record a new macro)

then perform the actions manually.

then turn off the recorder and look at the code.

this will give you the properties, methods and constant arguments you need.
You can then use them in your code.

Sub FormatRange()
With Worksheets("Ark1").Cells(DestinationRow, 1)
.Value = AssignDate
.Font.Bold = True
.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0)
....
....
End With
End Sub

.

Just to mention, the recorder will record settings for all attributes of the
cell. You only need to select those attributes you want to set/change.
