change colour of whole row dependant on cell value

[Patriot2879]

Hi good morning, hope you can help. I have the code below where if OOH is in a cell I want the whole row to change colour, but the code below is not working, hope you can help?

Private Sub Highlight()
Dim col As Range
Dim value(0) As Integer
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Set col = Range("H5:h")
If col.value = OOH Then
ActiveSheet.Row.Select
With Selection.Interior
.Color = -19125255
.Font.Bold = True
        End With
                    End If
    End Sub

Hello,

Could you explain in plain English what you actually are looking for ...

Seems to me you could Filter your sheet ...
select the value OOH in Column H ...
and highlight the resulting Visible rows ...

Have a go ... and confirm ...

Is that your line of thought ...?

Hello, I didn't want to filter, I have a userform that is filled out and the info goes into sheet1, but if 'OOH' is selected and inputted in cell H want the whole row to change colour.

Try this but I would suggest if you do the entire row you are adding a lot of memory to the workbook and if you print all unused cells will look to be printed as well

Sub ChangeColor1A()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
lRow = Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set Ran = Range("H2:H" & lRow)
For Each cell In Ran
If cell.Value = "OOH" Then cell.EntireRow.Interior.Color = -19125255
cell.Font.Bold = True
Next
End Sub

Understand your remark ...

But in this case ... Why would you use a Loop ...?

Since you only need to highlight the current row ... :wink:

Hello again,

Specifically ... in your UserForm 3 ... when you are posting your data back to your worksheet with the CommandButton 3 ...

You could insert one single line to achieve your objective ...

  ' Highlight ...
If TextBox8.Value = "OOH" Then Range(.Cells(emptyRow, 1), .Cells(emptyRow, 12)).Interior.Color = -19125255

Hope this clarifies
