Hello,

Is there a way to make cells automaticaly change to the color I chose for another? Example: I decide to make cell A1 red. When I do this cells B1:Z1+C7 and E74 automatically turn red also.

Thanks

Hi markhackney,

Yes this is possible, but what is the relation between A1 and B1:Z1+C7+E74.

For the following code I assumed that A1 could be any cell and that B1:Z1 is dependent of the row of the selected cell (so if A2 is selected then it will be B2:Z2). C7 and E74 are fixed locations.

First select the cell you would like to copy the color from and then run the following code:
Sub Test()
Dim aColor, aRow As Integer
aColor = ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex
aRow = ActiveCell.Row

Range(Cells(aRow, "B"), Cells(aRow, "Z")).Interior.ColorIndex = aColor
Range("C7").Interior.ColorIndex = aColor
Range("E74").Interior.ColorIndex = aColor
End Sub

Best regards,
Trowa
