I have cell K8 with color fill yellow and I'm using the code below so that it became a no fill cell when double click on it. I think that I have something wrong in the code since its not functioning.
Thanks


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)  
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K8")) Is Nothing Then
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Target.Value = "" Then
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        Else
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        End If
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)




  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K8")) Is Nothing Then
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Target.Value = "" Then
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        Else
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        End If
    End If
    


End Sub

What if you trim the target value?

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K8")) Is Nothing Then
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Trim(Target.Value) = "" Then
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        Else
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K8")) Is Nothing Then
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Trim(Target.Value) = "" Then
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        Else
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        End If
    End If
End Sub

What is the sequence? you delete the contents of cell K8, then the Change event is activated, it verifies that the cell is = "" then it puts the color yellow, if you press double click on the cell, do you want it to change to unfilled? If so, then try:


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K8")) Is Nothing Then
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Target.Value = "" Then
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        Else
            Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        End If
    End If
End Sub
'
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K8")) Is Nothing Then
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Then wc = xlNone Else wc = 6
        Target.Interior.ColorIndex = wc
        'To avoid editing the cell
        Application.SendKeys "{ESCAPE}"
    End If
End Sub

Hi,
Your code is doing like mine, its against what I need. Its fill the cell when it is a no fill color cell.
Thanks

Your code is designed to turn the background (fill) yellow when double-clicked AND the cell is empty (""). Thats what the code says, and that's how it behaves on my PC. What is it you want it to do?

Hi Dante,
Again you hit the nail on his head.

Thanks
