For example double clicking (highlight single column) on cell U12-highlihght 1 columns C12:C42, on cell AB12-highlihght 1 columns D12:D42, on cell AF12-highlihght 6 columns E12:E42</SPAN></SPAN>

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Sort by date Sort by votes
How about
Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
   Dim Cols As String
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("N6:P42,U6:U42,AB6:AB42,AF6:AF42")) Is Nothing Then
      Select Case Target.Column
         Case 14, 21
            Cols = "C:C"
         Case 15
            Cols = "C:D"
         Case 16
            Cols = "C:E"
         Case 28
            Cols = "D:D"
         Case 32
            Cols = "E:E"
      End Select
      Intersect(Range(Cols), Rows(Target.Row & ":42")).Select
   End If
End Sub

Hi Moti; Welcome to the Mr Excel Board. You came to the right place for your Excel Questions AND BETTER THE ANSWERS.

Question: Are the Columns you will be double-clicking on Limited or Restricted to the six (6) you provided, namely N, O, P, U, AB, AF?

Fluff has provided an outstanding Solution. As an AUDITOR on everything that comes my way == I have modified his code to comply with your specific request.
Correct me if I am wrong. Also, you are not restricted to Rows 6:42 for double-clicking on.. HTH

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
   Dim Cols As String
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("N:P,U:U,AB:AB,AF:AF")) Is Nothing Then
      Select Case Target.Column
         Case 14
            Cols = "C6:D"
         Case 15
            Cols = "C6:F"
         Case 16
            Cols = "C6:H"
         Case 21
            Cols = "C6:C"
         Case 28
            Cols = "D6:D"
         Case 32
            Cols = "E6:E"
      End Select
      Range(Cols & Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
   End If
End Sub

Fluff... Your Code is EXCELLENT.
I've been trying to learn this stuff over a 15-year period (AT A SNAIL's PACE).
One Question.

I'm still confused with the When to Use and When Not to Use the CANCEL = TRUE Code line within a lot of event-code that offers Cancel as an argument.
Why is the Cancel = True not used here in your code?
