I have a column containing a collection of various numbers. I need to use
code to highlight the rows containing the number 5.

I have tried with this but it does not work.

For Each Cell In Columns(2)

If Cell.Value = "5" Then
EntireRow.Select

With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 15
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End If

Not sure why....Help please?

It's probably not working because your comparison looks for text and
your cells contain numbers.

Try:

Dim rCell As Range
For Each rCell In Range("B1:B" & _
Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
With rCell
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then
If .Value = 5 Then
With .EntireRow.Interior
.ColorIndex = 15
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End If
End If
End With
Next rCell

Note that there's no need to select anything.

this may work but assumes no blank rows in range you are checking:

For Each rw In Worksheets(1).Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Rows
check = rw.Cells(1, 2).Value
If check = 5 Then rw.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Next

sub colorrows()
mc=2
for i=1 to cells(rows.count,mc).end(xlup).row
if cells(i,mc)=5 then rows(i).interior.colorindex=15
next i
end sub
