Code:
Application.ThisCell.Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'WORKS.

Application.ThisCell.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'DOESNT WORK.


Can the Interior of a cell be changed in a Function?
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
Welcome to the board...

Yes...and No..

if the Function is called from another macro/sub...Then YES.
if the Function is called from a Cell Formula...Then No.

Hope that helps.

Why not just use a sub?

Code:
Sub Red()
Activecell.Interior.Color=vbRed
End Sub

and assign a shortcut key to it, if you don't want to use the color palette.
