The following code was given to me by Member Yongle and it works great on a single column

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 4 Then ActiveWindow.Zoom = 130 Else ActiveWindow.Zoom = 65
End Sub

Can it be altered to cover multiple columns and also one for just acting on a single cell

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Single cell...
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 4 Or Target.Address = "$H$9" Then ActiveWindow.Zoom = 130 Else ActiveWindow.Zoom = 65
End Sub

That's great can it work on more than 1 column I have 4 columns with drop downs in them

....and, as long as you only want to do a few more columns, one "schoolboy" way to do it would be to just add the others in, thus:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

With Target
    If .Column = 4 Or .Column = 5 Or .Column = 10 Or Target.Address = "$H$9" Then ActiveWindow.Zoom = 130 Else ActiveWindow.Zoom = 65
End With
End Sub
I'm sure that there's a neater way to iterate through other columns, but this'll do the trick.
Obviously, change the column numbers, to suit.

Pleasure!
Presumably, you can see that in order to add more columns, you can just add more of the same syntax that I've already used.
What I was saying was, that to add quite a few more, there are much neater ways of doing it - like using an array, for example, but I thought that this would just get you going for now.

Try this:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  3/12/2020  4:01:33 AM  EST
    Select Case Target.Column
Case "4", "5", "10"
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 130
Case Else
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 65
End Select
If Target.Address = "$H$9" Then ActiveWindow.Zoom = 130
End Sub
