vba code to change the cell color by looking in a range that contains the color index valu

**ckklconner** · 11-17-2013, 11:44 AM

I am trying to write a vba to change the cell color by looking in a range that contains the color index value.
example:

Range B2 thru B500 have a value lets say "America" and in range z1 thru aa10 there is a table that contains the name in column z (america) and color index value in column aa (6).

So if cell B3 = America then the color that cell should be 6 (which is yellow)

Thanks that work, How can I make it so the color change is immediate after the data is entered into column B?

Nice to see different solutions to a problem!
ckklconner, only change the line "Target.Interior.Color = _" to "Target.Interior.ColorIndex = _" if you use the color index values.
