    Highlight a cell if another is selected

    Hello,

    Is it possible to highlight all cells containing a certain value whenever a specific cell is selected ?
    (For example, all cells containing the name Smith turn yellow whenever I select A1 and revert to no highlight when I deselect it.)

    Thanks for any reply

    Thanks for your answer. No need to move the thread, I have started another one on the VBA page. Not sure how to delete this one, though...

    Thanks again

    OP has posted this in the VBA forum, so I am closing this thread now
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
