Hi,
I was just looking for a basic code that when i select a cell it would turn Red.
When i leave that cell & select another it would revert back to its original colour & the new selected cell would then take on board the red colour.
What i am finding is this.
My whole sheet is yellow.
I select cell A1 & it then turns Red.
I then select cell B4.
Now cell A1 turns back to Yellow & now cell B4 is Red
So now looking at my sheet all cells are Yellow apart from the last selected cell of which in this case is B4
I save the sheet & close it.

Next time i open the sheet i see cell B4 is Red so i click in cell B22
Now i have cell B4 Red & also cell B22 Red

As i click around the code does what it should do but cell B4 is still Red.
I click cell Z1 save & close the worksheet.

Now when i open the worksheet i have cell Z1 & cell B4 Red so i start clicking around but these two cells dont change.
So every time i save & close the sheet the last selected cell will then be added each time to my growing Red cells.
Z1 B4 etc etc etc

Here is the code in use.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

    Static rngPrev As Range, PrevColor As Integer
    Dim TempColor As Integer
    TempColor = Target.Cells(1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex


    If Not rngPrev Is Nothing Then rngPrev.Interior.ColorIndex = PrevColor
    PrevColor = TempColor


    With Target.Interior
        .ColorIndex = 3
        .Pattern = xlSolid
    End With
    Set rngPrev = Target


End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
