Creating a reader bar with Conditional Formatting
We want to create a Reader Bar (means of highlighting the active row,
column, or both) using conditional formatting. However, we do not immediately find a worksheet information function that will identify the address of the active cell. Obviously, this information is essential to triggering the conditional format. Does anyone know of a worksheet function that will identify the active cell? Now to add a twist. If the current selection is not a single cell (but a row, column, or range), we do not want to trigger the reader bar highlight. In other words, we only want to trigger the conditional format if a single cell is selected. |

Creating a reader bar with Conditional Formatting
You cannot return the activecell address without VBA.
Try Chip Pearson's ROWLINER add-in to highlight the row and column that is active. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/RowLiner.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:23:56 -0700, "Blue Max" wrote: We want to create a Reader Bar (means of highlighting the active row, column, or both) using conditional formatting.
