Highlight row and column

[proficient]

Hi all, I need to know that is it possible; if I click anywhere in a sheet it will highlight the whole row and column...?

Is your Excel Workbook Macro Enabled?

Yes

Yes I understand Peter. I had doubt's about this myself but thought after he uses this he may see the problems and ask for something different. Maybe you have something else to suggest. Thanks for your input.

Sort of. You asked if he really wanted millions of cells filled. What he indicated, though not quite with these words, was that he wanted, in a large sheet, to be able to see clearly what row and column he is in.

The point I was making is that with your code if you double click A1 then B2 then C3 then D4 and now double click, say, B3 you cannot tel what row column any more than you could without the code.

I see that you now have a working code.

Here is another code to consider. This one also ...

- preserves any existing cell colour formatting (unless it happens to be the exact colour used by this code).
- highlights all columns/rows for multi-cell ranges, including disjoint ranges. (This part may or may not be desirable for you, but could easily be changed to just apply to the Active Cell)

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  With Application
    .FindFormat.Clear
    .ReplaceFormat.Clear
    .FindFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
    .ReplaceFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
    Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True
    .FindFormat.Clear
    .ReplaceFormat.Clear
    .FindFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
    .ReplaceFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
    Target.EntireRow.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True
    Target.EntireColumn.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True
  End With
End Sub

Glad you found this. I would have never come up with this.

I've searched the below code out and found working, many thanks for your precious time

I see that you now have a working code.

Here is another code to consider. This one also ...

- preserves any existing cell colour formatting (unless it happens to be the exact colour used by this code).
- highlights all columns/rows for multi-cell ranges, including disjoint ranges. (This part may or may not be desirable for you, but could easily be changed to just apply to the Active Cell)

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  With Application
    .FindFormat.Clear
    .ReplaceFormat.Clear
    .FindFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
    .ReplaceFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
    Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True
    .FindFormat.Clear
    .ReplaceFormat.Clear
    .FindFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
    .ReplaceFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
    Target.EntireRow.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True
    Target.EntireColumn.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True
  End With
End Sub

I tasted it but isn't working either... Am I doing something wrong...? But why the code I share is working for me...? mystery...?

Glad you found this. I would have never come up with this.

Next time when someone asks for this you will need to just copy and paste that code

 

[My Aswer Is This]

I think I never understood the request. My fault.

I think I never understood the request. My fault.

May be I didn't elaborate what actually I want...

 

[Peter_SSs]

I tasted it but isn't working either... Am I doing something wrong...?

Did you remove the previous code first? You can only have one Worksheet_SelectionChange in a sheet's module.

You will also need at least 1 item of data in the sheet I think, at least to start with.

 

[My Aswer Is This]

Thinking about this again. This simple script I think would do what you want. Now this script would override any previously interior coloring applied.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Cells.Interior.Color = xlNone
Rows(Selection.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Columns(Selection.Column).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
