Hello Excel Gurus,

Can someone help me out. I need code that based on active cell makes entire column and row Bold and then unBold them when different cell is selected and Bold the new column and row.
Hope it makes sense

I had no luck finding info on my matter..
I`m sorry if this a duplicate thread..

Thank you
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
This will do what you want, but be careful with the SelectionChange event. It can slow stuff down alot.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Cells.Font.Bold = False
    Rows(ActiveCell.Row).Font.Bold = True
    Columns(ActiveCell.Column).Font.Bold = True

End Sub

I also have it "unbold" all the other cells so you might have to modify it to leave some cells alone.

I should have mentioned that this goes on the worksheet, not in a module. Make sense?
