Morning,
Maybe you could assist me please.

I have the following code supplied below.
The code at present works for rows 29 & 30 but im thinking of it also needs to work for rows 4 to 28 but another color.
is this possible please & could you advise how / where i need to apply the additional info.



Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim myStartCol As String
    Dim myEndCol As String
    Dim myStartRow As Long
    Dim myLastRow As Long
    Dim myRange As Range


    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   *** Specify columns to apply this to ***
    myStartCol = "A"
    myEndCol = "G"


'   *** Specify start row ***
    myStartRow = 29
    
'   Use first column to find the last row
    myLastRow = 30
    
'   Build range to apply this to
    Set myRange = Range(Cells(myStartRow, myStartCol), Cells(myLastRow, myEndCol))
    
'   Clear the color of all the cells in range
    myRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
    
'   Check to see if cell selected is outside of range
    If Intersect(Target, myRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    
'   This color will Highlight the row
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
    
'   This color will Highlight the cell in the row
    Target.Interior.Color = vbRed
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub


Have a nice day.

You macro does not highlight the selected cell, so this one neither
Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim myStartCol As String
    Dim myEndCol As String
    Dim myStartRow As Long
    Dim myLastRow As Long
    Dim myRange As Range

    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   *** Specify columns to apply this to ***
    myStartCol = "A"
    myEndCol = "G"

'   *** Specify start row ***
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
          myStartRow = 4
    Else: myStartRow = 29
    End If
'   Use first column to find the last row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
          myLastRow = 28
    Else: myLastRow = 30
    End If
    
'   Build range to apply this to
    Set myRange = Range(Cells(myStartRow, myStartCol), Cells(myLastRow, myEndCol))
    
'   Clear the color of all the cells in range
    myRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
    
'   Check to see if cell selected is outside of range
    If Intersect(Target, myRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    
'   This color will Highlight the row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
    Else
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
    End If
'   This color will Highlight the cell in the row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
    Target.Interior.Color = vbBlue
    Else
    Target.Interior.Color = vbRed
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

but if you want to
Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim myStartCol As String
    Dim myEndCol As String
    Dim myStartRow As Long
    Dim myLastRow As Long
    Dim myRange As Range

    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   *** Specify columns to apply this to ***
    myStartCol = "A"
    myEndCol = "G"

'   *** Specify start row ***
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
          myStartRow = 4
    Else: myStartRow = 29
    End If
'   Use first column to find the last row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
          myLastRow = 28
    Else: myLastRow = 30
    End If
    
'   Build range to apply this to
    Set myRange = Range(Cells(myStartRow, myStartCol), Cells(myLastRow, myEndCol))
    
'   Clear the color of all the cells in range
    myRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
    
'   Check to see if cell selected is outside of range
    If Intersect(Target, myRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    
'   This color will Highlight the row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
    Else
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
    End If
'   This color will Highlight the cell in the row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
    Target.Interior.Color = vbRed
    Else
    Target.Interior.Color = vbBlue
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Many thanks.

I only require the row to be highlighted once the cell is selected.
Currently with your code supplied i see say Row 29 RED with the selected cell BLUE but if i then select say cell B10 the row is BLUE and the selected cell is RED.

I only need to see 1 row change color when the cell is selected.
If i selected say cell B10 the row 29 & 30 should then have NO color fill so must be white.

Many thanks

Hi,

What about changing
Code: 
[LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=monospace]myRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 2[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
into
Code: 
[LEFT][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]Range("A4:G30")[COLOR=#333333][FONT=monospace].Interior.ColorIndex = 2[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
?

Many thanks for the advice.

I have the following code in use.
All is good apart from the selected cell color for range A4:A28
Selected cell needs to be Interior.ColorIndex = 8 but currently it is 3
See attached photos


Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)    Dim myStartCol As String
    Dim myEndCol As String
    Dim myStartRow As Long
    Dim myLastRow As Long
    Dim myRange As Range


    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   *** Specify columns to apply this to ***
    myStartCol = "A"
    myEndCol = "G"


'   *** Specify start row ***
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
          myStartRow = 4
    Else: myStartRow = 29
    End If
'   Use first column to find the last row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
          myLastRow = 28
    Else: myLastRow = 30
    End If
    
'   Build range to apply this to
    Set myRange = Range(Cells(myStartRow, myStartCol), Cells(myLastRow, myEndCol))
    
'   Clear the color of all the cells in range
    Range("A4:G30").Interior.ColorIndex = 2
    
'   Check to see if cell selected is outside of range
    If Intersect(Target, myRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    
'   This color will Highlight the row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
    Else
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
    End If
'   This color will Highlight the cell in the row
    If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
    Target.Interior.Color = vbRed
    Else
    Target.Interior.Color = vbRed
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub

Simply delete the red part:


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim myStartCol As String
Dim myEndCol As String
Dim myStartRow As Long
Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim myRange As Range


If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

' *** Specify columns to apply this to ***
myStartCol = "A"
myEndCol = "G"


' *** Specify start row ***
If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
myStartRow = 4
Else: myStartRow = 29
End If
' Use first column to find the last row
If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
myLastRow = 28
Else: myLastRow = 30
End If

' Build range to apply this to
Set myRange = Range(Cells(myStartRow, myStartCol), Cells(myLastRow, myEndCol))

' Clear the color of all the cells in range
Range("A4:G30").Interior.ColorIndex = 2

' Check to see if cell selected is outside of range
If Intersect(Target, myRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

' This color will Highlight the row
If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
Else
Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
'​
This color will Highlight the cell in the row
If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 29) Then
Target.Interior.Color = vbRed
Else
Target.Interior.Color = vbRed
End If
​
Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub​
