I have a cell, E3, containing a two letter value ("CO")
I am looking for a VBA solution to change the colour of the first letter ("C)" red, while leaving the "O" the default colour.
Can anyone suggest an idea? I can change the cell font color, but I just need to find a way to do one letter at a time.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
VBA Code:
Sub chgColor()
Range("E3").Characters(1, 1).Font.Color = vbRed
End Sub
