ExcelBanter - Fill column with color

Hi

when running your code it only makes a cell change column not the whole
column so i've modified your code to stop the looping and to make the whole
of column 6 change colour. Also you don't need to test for upper & lower
case as the line str=UCase(Target.Text) converts the contents of the cell to
upper case in the code before you test it.
----
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim str As String
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 5 Then
str = UCase(Target.Text)
If str = "M" Or str = "MERAH" Then
Target.Cells(1, 2).Interior.Color = 0
Columns(6).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red Color
Target.Value = "Merah"
ElseIf str = "K" Or str = "KUNING" Then
Target.Cells(1, 2).Interior.Color = 0
Columns(6).Interior.ColorIndex = 6 ' yellow Color
Target.Value = "Kuning"
ElseIf str = "B" Or str = "BIRU" Then
Target.Cells(1, 2).Interior.Color = 0
Columns(6).Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue Color
Target.Value = "Biru"
ElseIf str = "H" Or str = "HIJAU" Then
Target.Cells(1, 2).Interior.Color = 0
Columns(6).Interior.ColorIndex = 4 'green Color
Target.Value = "Hijau"
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Let me know how you go
