    highlight a specific cell in a range when changed

    Hi,

    I have a worksheet and I need excel to automatically highlight a cell when the value has been changed by a user. This rule would need to cover specific ranges of data.

    I have looked at the excel Track Changes tool but due to the complexity of the spreadsheet it cannot be shared.

    So for example if any cell value in range F25 to FF25 has it's value changed then the background colour of the cell should change to red. I would then use the same macro cover the same cells in rows 32, 39 46 etc.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Sorry, should also note that it would be good to easily switch this function off for when I am editing the sheet.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    EDITED THIS TIME
    Hope that helps.
