When I select any number of adjacent cells (could be in a row or a column), anywhere on my spreadsheet, I would like to then press a form control button that will fill the interior color with color the 16738047. I have tinkered with several codes I've found online, but so far they only color the first selected cell and not the others.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
How about
Code:
Sub onarollcanada()
   Selection.Interior.Color = 16738047
End Sub

Thanks for your quick reply. I had already tried this code but it only colours the first cell in my selection of several cells. It works on a brand new workbook though. Thanks again for your help.

Do you have any conditional formatting on the sheet it doesn't work on?

I got it working. There was a conflict with another macro I had on the page. Once I deleted it, your code worked perfectly :) Thanks for your help.
