Hi, I have been trying to update the color of corresponding tabs when the table column containing the status is changed. I have written the following code to achieve the same:

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

  On Error Resume Next

  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D:D")) Is Nothing Or Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then
  
    Dim mystat As String
    Dim mycell As String
    
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    mystat = Target.Value
    Target.Select
    mycell = "INC" & Range("B" & ActiveCell.Row).Value
    
    If WorksheetExists(mycell) Then
      
        If mystat = "In Progress" Then
          Worksheets(mycell).Tab.Color = vbYellow
        End If
        With Worksheets(mycell).Tab
          Select Case mystat
            Case "In Progress"
              .Color = RGB()
      
    End If
  End If
  
  Application.EnableEvents = True
  On Error GoTo 0
  
End Sub

Before the validations can be performed, however, I am getting an error that says: Compile Error - Argument not optional - the code stops at the method declaration line whenever I change the status of a cell in the D column (which contains the STATUS). Please try to point out what I am doing incorrectly here, thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Haven't tested the code, BUT you don't have and End Select OR and End With Statement in your code

this should compile if you have the worksheetexists function:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

  On Error Resume Next

  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D:D")) Is Nothing Or Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then
 
    Dim mystat As String
    Dim mycell As String
   
    Application.EnableEvents = False
   
    mystat = Target.Value
    Target.Select
    mycell = "INC" & Range("B" & ActiveCell.Row).Value
   
    If WorksheetExists(mycell) Then
     
        If mystat = "In Progress" Then
          Worksheets(mycell).Tab.Color = vbYellow
        End If
        With Worksheets(mycell).Tab
          Select Case mystat
            Case "In Progress"
              .Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)  ' changed
            End Select   ' added
         End With        ' added
    End If
  End If
 
  Application.EnableEvents = True
  On Error GoTo 0
 
End Sub
