    how to automatically highlight the whole row?

    Is there any option to highlight the whole row when a cell is selected? That means when i move from one cell to another, I expect the whole row that contains the second cell to be highlighted. It would be very helpful for me to work on sheets with larger number of columns.

    Right click on your sheet and select View-> Code. Enter this code in there -

    Now save your file and come back to the sheet. Whichever cell you click on, the row will be highlighted.

    That code will highlight the whole row because it is selected. Not a good option if you actually want to work with the cell tht was originally selected

    Select the worksheet in which you the code to run
    Right click on the sheet tab and choose View Code, to open the Visual Basic Editor.
    Where the cursor is flashing, choose Edit | Paste
