I found this code to highlight the active row. I tried to make it highlight the row and column, but I was not successful. What I really need is to highlight the active row and column above and to the left of the active cell, not the entire row and column. For example, if G10 is active, the highlighted cells would be G1:G10 and A10:G10.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
Dim i As Long
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
If Application. CountA(Target.EntireRow) 0 Then
i = Target.Row
Else
For i = Me.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If Application.CountA(Me.Rows(i)) 0 Then
i = i + 1
Exit For
End If
Next i
End If
Rows(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub
Also, I have fill colors on the sheet and I just noticed that the code removes those fill colors. I need it to not remove my fill colors. The only fill colors it should remove are ones it previously colored.
Is there a way to highlight the row and column of the active cell? The highlighting will move as the active cell is moved around the spread sheet. I have a newbie manager that is bugging the pea-turkey out of me! He wants to be able to easily see where he is within some of our sheets while he is in a vehicle or outside on a job site...seems like an "accessibility" type issue, but can't find anything in Excel "Options."
I have found this code by searching witch is perfect
Code: If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub Application.ScreenUpdating = False Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 With Target 'With the cell that was selected, .EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 .EntireColumn.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True
The point is that i want to retain the previous formatting of cells when i select another cell. And also i would like to create a switch to turn the Worksheet_SelectionChange event on and off. The tricky part is here i guess, becouse i would like when turned off to retain the previous formatting also.
I spend a lot of time in spread sheets working with part numbers and sales figures. With a part # in column B and sales per month in adjacent columns, stretching back years. Is there any way to highlight an entire row automatically? ie. I use Ctrl F to search for a number and it goes to B24. I now want the entire row 24 highlighted as the active row.
When I move to another cell I want the entire row highlighted automatically. Can it be done.
Is it possible to have a specified shading (say 50%) applied to all rows except the currently picked row and the header rows to allow a user to focus on inputting across the row? I'd use this in conjunction with " Move Selection After Enter" to "Right" so the user would stay on the same row. I've tried the Help function, but can't find anything.
When looking at a spreadsheet with many columns, it would be nice of the row of the cell I have selected would remain highlighted in yellow, so that as I scroll across rows it's easy to view the data associated with the selected cell. Of course, if I select another cell, I would want the highlighting to change to THAT row. I'm guessing this would have to be in a this.workbook change event.
When I open any spreadsheet (new or already populated) the black box that normally frames the active cell is missing (showing which cell you have selected). Likewise when I 'select all' the sheet does not become shaded.
In addition:
Cannot fill series Cannot change cell format (specifically to show Currency or Accounting w/$ symbol)
Is there something built in to excel that highlights the cell or cells that are currenyl selected and then not save any highlighted cells when the sheet is saved. Maybe if not something that is built in but a vba script?
I have a cover sheet to a workbook that holds hyperlinks to its relevent page. Several of the hyperlinks link to the same page but different relevant cells. However it is not overly clear which cell is active when you click the hyperlink. What I would like is for the active cell to be highlighted on the page. EG hyperlink 1 links to page 1 cell A2 & hyperlink 2 links to page 1 cell B6 - I would like A2 to be highlighted when accessed by hyperlink 1 & B6 highlighted when accessed by hyperlink 2.
I have a routine that highlights a selected Active Cell, but when I printout the spreadsheet this highlight is not printed.
I have been pull my hair out (what's left!), to try to show this highlighted cell when printed.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Intersect(Range("d22:u45"), Target) Is Nothing Then Range("d12").Value = " Out" Range("e14").Value = "0" Else If Intersect(Range("d22:u45"), Target) >= 3 Then Range("d12").Value = Cells(19, ActiveCell.Column).Value Range("e14").Value = Cells(21, ActiveCell.Column).Value Static rngPrev As Range, PrevColor As Integer Dim TempColor As Integer TempColor = Target.Cells(1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex
If Not rngPrev Is Nothing Then If PrevColor <> xlLineStyleNone Then .......................
whenever the active cell is within a given range, highlight the cell on the same row in column S (by changing its interior colour). This should occur each time the active cell is changed, whether by cursor keys or mouse. The effect would be similar to the row and column highlights at left and top of the worksheet.
This action should be restricted to one sheet in the workbook.
Using Excel 2010. Is it possible to change the default line thickness and fill color when selecting the ActiveSheet Target Row below?
I would like a thin border and a light grey fill - without interfering with any fomatting or conditional formatting that has been applied to the worksheet.
I need formatting to highlight the dates in Column H if they are a greater than a week or more from Column G. Tried some different ways of doing this with the conditional formatting but cannot get it to work yet
I have a macro where I sum a large number of cells in column AZ. How can I have the Macro end in the last cell of column AZ where the sum is located? The length varies in each file.
I am looking for a way to have the active cell row and column (standout). I did have it highlight but as users tried to highlight certain cells the active highlighting of the rows and columns would erase the color. So they are asking for something that can take its place with an on and off button to it.
When I click on a cell, is there a way to have the cells in the column and row that intersect with that cell highlighted or greyed-out automatically .. to highlight the intersection itself ?
Is there a formula I can use to locate the last active cell in a column. I did use the count function, however this isn't always reliable if there are blank cells within the column
I need a macro that will select row 15 in the active column. (basically returns to the top of the data where rows 1-14 are frozen in place, only in the current column).
I have been able to accomplish the opposite (skip to specific column while maintaining active row) by using the code below:
This very simple code brings me to M402 everytime I click on the button.
However, I would like to stay in the same column that I am at the moment when I click the button, and go to row 402. (i.e. if I am in cell "Z56", I would like to be redirected to "Z402" when I click the button.
I have a code which looks at sheet2, useing a date value, and returns the Vent value and the Tanker value to sheet1. Because of the file size I have pasted a small section of Sheet2 in the hopes you can see what I am doing. As can be seen my code is not going to work with Offset as soon as the Data fills further down the sheet(every 2 weeks). I need a way to reference the active cells column name (it is a named range) or header name. Both are the same. That is the header name is the same as the name of the range. there is a way to perhaps find the first cell of the column,which I guess would work,but have reached a stale mate with what I've tried so far.
