    Highlight cell when cursor is on

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if there is a code that would highlight the cell when you not physicaly select it, but when you put cursor over it?

    Thanks in advance guys!

    Let me be more specific then, if it helps. I need hyperlink to change colour when you put cursor over it. Would this be possible?

    Alright. That means no. Just wanted to do something like "web style" spreadsheet...

    Well, you can bodge it with something like the attached, but you would need quite a bit more work to make it nice.

    Good luck.

    Absolutely impressed! Just like what I'm looking for. However, question: how do I change the colour?

    It's set in the conditional formatting for the range. Just edit the format as required.

    I can't get it working on the actual workbook. Copied the code, conditional formated, no success.

    Did you alter your hyperlinks to use the code function, and add the CurrentRow name?

    I've done everything, but no success. After hours of Googling I found that something is not compatible with my XL version I run, because of _xlfn (don't know what is it), Changed IFERROR to IF(ISERROR and still nothing happens. Where am I wrong?
