I’m looking for a little more assistance with this if you please. I have posted this elsewhere on the web with some success but am still experiencing some problems. If multi-posts are discouraged or even disallowed please disregard this inquiry.

Is it possible change the color or highlight a cell based on the position of the cursor/active cell?

Example: If the active cell is I36, I want C36 to change color or be highlighted in some way (e.g., bold text). As you cursor down column “I” the highlighted cell in column “C” changes corresponding to the row the cursor is in.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve K.

EDIT- I tried to post a screen shot of what I want but no luck.

Will do - thanks for the clarification. I am pleased however that I did cross-post since the answer here was much preferred.
Again, I will be more conscious of this.
