Cell changes highlighting
I have a worksheet that I am asking a person to review (and only one
reviewer). I'm not keen on using 'track changes' to identify values in cells, so I would like a macro to run automatically and (at a glance and with impact) highlight changes by colouring the cell and choosing a different font colour. Is there anything simple to do this? Thanks. Mike |
Cell changes highlighting
Prior to submitting, it'll be easier to make a copy of your sheet and
maybe hide it (Format Sheet Hide). If it complains about cells going over 255 characters, before hiding, select everything on the original (make sure it's your original!), right click and copy then select everything on the copied spreadsheet and paste over it. Then have something like this: Sub Highlight_Changes() Dim iStartRow As Integer Dim iStartCol As Integer Dim iEndRow As Integer Dim iEndCol As Integer Dim sOrigSheet As String Dim sCheckSheet As String Dim vOrigCell As Variant Dim vCheckCell As Variant ' Sets the range of rows you're looking at; this will go from 1 to 5. iStartRow = 1 iEndRow = 5 ' Names the checking sheet (what your checker sees) and the original data (the hidden one for comparison). sOrigSheet = "Original" sCheckSheet = "Checking" Do While iStartRow <= iEndRow ' Sets the range of cols you're looking at; this will go from A to C. iStartCol = 1 iEndCol = 3 Do While iStartCol <= iEndCol vCheckCell = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(sCheckSheet).Cells(iStartR ow, iStartCol) vOrigCell = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(sOrigSheet).Cells(iStartRo w, iStartCol) If vCheckCell < vOrigCell Then ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(sCheckSheet).Cells(iStartR ow, iStartCol).Select ' Change to Orig if you want to highlight that sheet instead. With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 3 ' Change number for a different colour. End With End If iStartCol = iStartCol + 1 Loop iStartRow = iStartRow + 1 Loop End Sub Should work, just change the number of rows/columns (e.g. 26 to go from A to Z) and sheet titles accordingly.

Change the attributes as needed.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Target.Font.ColorIndex = 5 Target.Font.Bold = True Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 End Sub MikeCM wrote: I have a worksheet that I am asking a person to review (and only one reviewer).
