I have as simple module which changes the font based on the name I select inside my worksheet. The code works well when I'm in the VBE and press F5, but when I'm in the worksheet and select a choice in the cell like "YES", the font reverts back to the default font. I know I'm doing something stupid with my code, but can't figure out what. Can someone help please? See code below.
Thanks so much!

Code:
Sub test()
Dim cell As Object

For Each cell In Range("B2:M35")
If UCase(cell.Value) Like "*YES*" Or UCase(cell.Value) Like "*MODERATE*" Then
cell.Font.Name = "Comic Sans MS"
cell.Font.Bold = True
End If

Next cell

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

How are you executing the code from the sheet?

I can create a button, but what I was wondering if there was anyway to make the code change the font after input into a cell?

How about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   If Intersect(Target, Range("B2:M35")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
   If UCase(Target.Value) Like "*YES*" Or UCase(Target.Value) Like "*MODERATE*" Then
      Target.Font.Name = "Comic Sans MS"
      Target.Font.bold = True
   End If
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub
This needs to go in the relevant sheet module
