I need to change the cell text format to RED if the value of the cell is changed (not formatting or just clicking in it). Additionall, when the cell is changed in a row, a column at the end needs to show the date last changed (mm/dd/yyyy) and name of computer that changedit.

Is this accomplished with conditional formatting or VBA?

How do you do it?

Thanks!

Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Paste the following to the worksheet module:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim CN As String


With Application
    .EnableEvents = False   'if this was left true the macro would trigger itself
    .ScreenUpdating = False
End With


CN = Environ("computername")  'Environ("username") would return the current user name


If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then  'Remove or comment these rows if it doesn't matter how many cells are changed at the same time
    GoTo TheEnd 'Jumps to the end without making the changes
End If


    With Target
        .Font.ColorIndex = 3
'        Intersect(.EntireRow, Range("Z:Z")).Value = Format(Date, "mm/dd/yyyy") & " " & CN   'Always the same column
        Cells(.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1).Value = Format(Date, "mm/dd/yyyy") & " " & CN  'Alwasy the last column
    End With




TheEnd:


With Application
    .EnableEvents = True
    .ScreenUpdating = True
End With


End Sub
