    Generate a Private Sub from a Macro?

    Hi community,

    I have a macro that generates a report, the code is pasted into a module and I just run it.
    I have another code which is a private sub, that highlights the currently selected cell to help me focus.
    This code is pasted into the worksheet editor and not in module.
    I was wondering if there is a code that I just paste in module which then generates the code in worksheet automatically?
    Would love to avoid pasting that highlight cell code every time I am doing the report which is twice a week.
    Any help from an Excel genius would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is the highlight cell code by the way.

    If you use event 'Workbook_SheetSelectionChange' instead of 'Worksheet_SelectionChange' and place the macro in the module ThisWorkbook it would be available for all sheets. If highlighting isn't necessary in every sheet just add the appropriate ecception to the macro (ex. If Sh.Name = "Sheet2" Then Exit Sub).

    Hi frankytheman,

    I assumed the workbook is closed, so it`s path and name as well as extension need to be given as well as the Codename of the sheet from the VBE (not the visible name on the tab):
