    Highlight Active Row Not Active Cell

    Hello,

    I want to highlight the active row, but not the active cell. I want the color of the active cell to remain the color that it was prior to selecting it.

    I have a workbook that highlights the row of the active cell using conditional formatting. Any advice? Thanks

    to highlight the active row and the active column, up to the cell that will be in focus (so not the entire row or column), without affecting the existing colouring of the CELL that will be clicked, use this Conditional Formatting:
