Hello, I need some assistance, my code isn't working. I need to create a subroutine that allows the user to select the Identifier from a drop-down menu in cell F2 and the Key from a drop-down menu in cell F3 and any rows of the data (columns A, B, and C) whose Batch ID meets those criteria will be highlighted GREEN. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Sub HighlightRows()

Dim nr As Integer, I As Integer
Dim ID As String, Key As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range

Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
nr = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


For I = 2 To nr
ID = ws.Cells(I, 1).Value
Key = ws.Cells(I, 3).Value (I get an error return error 6, overflow)

If ID = ws.Range("F2").Value And Key = ws.Range("F3").Value Then
Set rng = ws.Range("A" & I & ":C" & I)
rng.Interior.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0)

End If

Next I

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
How about using Conditional Formatting?
If so, then just select the Batch ID data cells, add to them the following CF formula and choose the highlight filling you like:
=$F$2&$F$3=LEFT($A2:$A24,2)
