Hi,</SPAN></SPAN>

I need when I double click into any cell in K:L columns highlight cells in the column C</SPAN></SPAN>
When I double click into any cell in P:R columns highlight cells in the column D</SPAN></SPAN>
When I double click into any cell in U:V columns highlight cells in the column E</SPAN></SPAN>

For example when double click on cell K11, highlights the cells C11:C66 (C11 to last cell in the column)</SPAN></SPAN>

For example when double click on cell L17, highlights the cells C17:C66 (C17 to last cell in the column)</SPAN></SPAN>

For example when double click on cell M28, highlights the cells C28:C66 (C28 to last cell in the column)</SPAN></SPAN>

Same conditions will be for the columns P:Q, highlights the column D </SPAN></SPAN>
Same conditions will be for the columns U:V, highlights the column E</SPAN></SPAN>

Example sheet</SPAN></SPAN>

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Paste the following code in the relevant worksheet module of the file and you should be good to go
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    Set Target = ActiveCell
    Set DatRng = Range("C5").CurrentRegion
    LastRow = 4 + DatRng.Rows.Count
    Set DatRng = Range("C6", Cells(LastRow, 5))
    DatRng.Interior.Color = xlNone
    Col = Target.Column
    Ro = Target.Row
    
    Select Case Col
     Case 11 To 13
        ColA = 3
     Case 16 To 18
        ColA = 4
     Case 21 To 23
        ColA = 5
     Case Else
        Application.SendKeys ("{Esc}")
        Exit Sub
    End Select
    Set FormatRng = Range(Cells(Ro, ColA), Cells(LastRow, ColA))
    FormatRng.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0)
    Application.SendKeys ("{Esc}")
End Sub

Try this:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'Modified  4/6/2019  8:14:01 AM  EDT
Cancel = True
Dim ans As Long
Dim lastrow As Long
ans = Target.Row
Select Case Target.Column
    Case 11 To 13
        lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
    Cells(ans, 3).Resize(lastrow - ans + 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
    Case 16 To 18
        lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
    Cells(ans, 4).Resize(lastrow - ans + 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
    Case 21 To 22
        lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
        Cells(ans, 5).Resize(lastrow - ans + 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End Select
End Sub

Hi My Answer Is This
The code needs a line to clear the fill every time the code runs, else after each successful run a new set of cells (some overlapping) will be filled. In time the entire range could have interior.colorindex=3

Set Target = ActiveCell
Set DatRng = Range("C5").CurrentRegion

DatRng.Interior.Color = xlNone
Col = Target.Column
Ro = Target.Row

Select Case Col

Hi Kishan,
I am happy you liked it.
I'm not sure about the turquoise part though...

Ravi
