Hello All,

I am currently using this VBA code below however, it means that all the cells change color but I only need it to apply to these range of cells E5:E26, F5:F26, J5:J22 and K5:K22 can anybody help with this?

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Select Case Target.Interior.ColorIndex
Case xlNone, 4: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case Else: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Sub

Thankyou!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Welcome to the Board!

Try something like this:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

    Dim rng As Range
    
    Set rng = Range("E25:F26, J5:K22")
    
    If Not (Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing) Then
        Cancel = True
        Select Case Target.Interior.ColorIndex
            Case xlNone, 4: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
            Case Else: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
        End Select
     End If
     
End Sub

Thanks again!
If you mean from your second procedure, you should be able to apply the exact same logic to that that I used in the first one.
Give it a try and see how it works! It will be a good test to see how well you understand the method I used.
Write back if you have questions.

Thankyou Joe,

Ended up tweaking yours slightly and it works fine!

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

Dim rng As Range

Set rng = Range("E5:F26, J5:K22")

If Not (Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing) Then
Cancel = True
Select Case Target.Interior.ColorIndex
Case xlNone, 4: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case Else: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
End Select
End If

End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

Dim rng As Range

Set rng = Range("E5:F26, J5:K22")

If Not (Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing) Then
Cancel = True
Select Case Target.Interior.ColorIndex
Case 4, xlNone: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Case Else: Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
End If

End Sub
