Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to highlight cells in column A & B of the
active row, I wish this to be a Workbook command if possible.

Thanks

I used the macro recorder to get trhis:

Range("A4:B4").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 65535
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With

I'd suggest that you use the macro recorder to discover what values give
you the highlight you want.

Then, I'd replace

Range("A4:B4").Select
With Selection.Interior

with

With ActiveCell.EntireRow.Columns("A:B").Interior

to highlight columns A and B of the active row.

Right click sheet tabview codepaste this. Now when you select a row
it will highlight col a & b of that row

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
'With Target.EntireRow
With Cells(Target.Row, 1).Resize(, 2)
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 6 '35
End With
End Sub

Can this be adapted to work with the Workbook_SelectionChange Sub?

Thanks in advance

Don, this is what I want, which is to highlight Column A & B of the
Active Row however I already have conditional formatting applied with
Condition 1 & 2, could you amend so that this Sub allows me to retain
what I have and still highlight column A & B as you have done?

Thanks in advance,
