Highlight Row And Column Of Active Cell In Large Spreadsheets
Apr 4, 2013
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'm in need of a formula that can give me the sum of cells in a column if the values in another column are the same. For example:
Col A
John Smith
John Smith
John Smith
Jane Doe
Jane Doe
Jane Doe
Col B
2
8
9
3
4
6
Col E
Monday
Tuesday
Sunday
Monday
Wednesday
Friday
The total for John Smith would be 19 and the total for Jane Doe would be 13. The problem is that this file is huge and we will have to use this formula on a weekly basis with different values each week, so it would be very difficult to use a "specific" formula for each person. Is this a possibility?
And to make it more difficult, I would then have to subtract one of those values if that row has a certain value in one of the other columns.
If values in Column A are equal to each other, sum of Column B. (Column C would contain the sum in this case.)
Column D = Column C minus B, if value of Column E is Sunday, otherwise don't subtract anything.
The total for John Smith in Column D would be 10 and Jane's total for D would still be 13.

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 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.

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.
It's for Excel 2003.

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 .......................

I have two spreadsheets. Spreadsheet 1 has 6 columns and column E has a list of numbers. It runs from E2:E739.
Spreadsheet 2 has 9 columns and column A has the numbers I need matched against. Column A runs from A9:A5027. How can I find the numbers from Spreadsheet 1, Column E that are also in Spreadsheet 2, Column A. Once matched I would like to highlight the ROW on spreadsheet 1 that has a match.

I have 3 spreadsheets that should be exactly the same - with the same data and same positions - is there a way of comparing all 3 to see if this is true and highlight any errors - either by using a master sheet or some kind of conditional formatting

if you click on a row, it highlights every cell in it, I want to do the exact same thing but then also when you click on a cell only.
Preferable (probably impossible though) without the use of VBA, because in my company
I think some are "carefull" with enabling macro

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.

I have a very large spreadsheet that is a consolidation of approximately 105 separate of contacts lists. The new consolidated spreadsheet contains demographic data, and a column for the name of each of the 105 lists. Each contact in the consolidated list had an "X" placed in the column if they were a member of that particular list. Each contact can be in more than one list. This is not very useful for me.
Here's a visual representation of the current list along with what I need:
FName
LName
Address
Phone
City
List1
List2
List3
List4
List5
List6
[Code] .....
I would like to add a column to the spreadsheet and call it "Source"
And then have a macro or VB script to do the following:
1. As shown above, put the column name (ie "List2") in the "Source" column whenever there is an "X" in that row for the corresponding Column.
2. Because each contact can be in more than one list, I need to append the column names so that "Source" column contains all of the column names (Lists) that had an "X"
3. Once all of the list names have been added to the "Source" column, I will delete the list columns.

I use the Index/Match formula to find the last active cell in a column quite effectively.
I'm wondering though how to adapt it to find the second last active cell?
EX: Last active cell formula:
Data:
a 10
b 11
c 0
d 12

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.

I am trying to perform a sort based on the ActiveCell.Column
I thought my code would exclude the hearer rows, but presently it moves the header rows beneath the data
I tried
Header:=xlGuess as well as
Header:=xlNo
Same result
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
-marc
Private Sub comp_mySort()
Selection.Sort Key1:= Cells(1, ActiveCell.Column), _
Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

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.
