I'm trying to put together a spreadsheet using a table of data and creating buttons that will change a row of cells to a particular color, namely that of the button itself. When I type the comma d in I'm getting a syntax error becasue when I click the button, the range of cells don't change. I'm typing in as follows:
.Color = CH606
and it isn't working. Should the text turn green?

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
I'm typing in as follows:
.Color = CH606
That is not what your screenshot shows. It shows
VBA Code:
.Color = &H60&
Also it has the color hard-coded. If you want to use the color of the button, the code should use that color, in case you change the button color later.
When I type the comma d in
No idea what you mean by that.
Should the text turn green?
Nor that. Which text do you mean?

When sharing code, please copy the code directly from your code editor and paste it into your post. A screenshot of the code is not very useful, and your screenshot is pretty low resolution making it hard to read. Paste in the code, select it, then click the VBA button in the edit controls to apply code tags to preserve formatting.
