Default cell color

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1:IV1")) Is Nothing Then
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Else
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End If
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.

Default cell color

Hi,

as a beginner in Excel-VBA:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1:IV1")) Is Nothing Then
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Else
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End If
End Sub

seems to me to work only on row 1.

How about this one:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r As Long ' row
r = ActiveCell.Row
Cells(r, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub

Of course, it is no toggle function.
Once a cell is yellow, it stays yellow.

I don't know how to utilize "target".

That is because the OP asked for it to only work on row 1.

Hi Bob,

it seems indeed the question is more a problem than the answer.

Something like, I want A1 highlighted with yellow color
everytime i click anywhere from B1 to IV1


If i move to anywhere on any cell,
i want the corresponding cell on A column be highlighted

Default cell color

Opps, i apologize to you both if my question was very clear. Actually, If i
want to click on any cell from B to IV, the corresponding cell on A should be
highlighted. Let's say C1 is clicked, then A1 is highlighted. Again if G10 is
clicked, then A10 is highlighted but of course the previous hightlighted cell
in column A is go back to white. Something like what Helmut says, "toggle".
thank you for trying to help. God bless.

Hi,

how about this one:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(Rows.Count, 1)).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub

Which removes all coloring from the first row,
and then colors the first cell in the row
in which you select a cell, in yellow.
Even if it is the first cell in a row, though.

Hi Bob.

I suspect that you intended something like:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("A:A").Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone

If Target.Column < 1 Then
Range("A" & Target.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
End Sub
