Hello, I'm looking for a VBA macro that will make every unfilled cell be highlighted red. I think this shouldn't be too complex, but I was having some issues proceeding. Thanks.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Try this out..... just change your range to whatever range you want to cover

Code:
Sub Macro1()
Dim r As Range
For Each r In Range("A1:B10") 'change this to accommodate your range
    If r.Value = "" Then
        r.Interior.Color = 255
    End If
Next
End Sub

How about
Code:
Sub FillRed()
On Error Resume Next
Cells.SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Interior.Color = vbRed
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Why do you want VBA? You could use conditional formatting with a rule like: =ISBLANK(A1) and apply it to a1:z999 (or whatever your full sheet is).

I was going to make that suggestion but OP requested VBA so went with VBA ... CF would be less of a hassle

Thanks, I was able to get it to work. I asked for VBA thinking it'd be easiest, CF didn't occur to me when i was working on it.
