This looks very similar to the topic you posted called: Macro Help: Repeat the macro for each cursor move The same answers apply. You can create an event macro that clears all highlighting and highlights the row and/or column of the selected cell. As for your requirement: "This should be applied default to all the excel file im opening" I don't think that's possible. Event macros are tied to the Workbook (file) in which they reside. You can make the macro run for each SHEET in the workbook by adding this macro to the 'ThisWorkbook' module: Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) With Cells.Interior .Pattern = xlNone .TintAndShade = 0 .PatternTintAndShade = 0 End With With Selection.EntireRow.Interior .Pattern = xlSolid .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic .Color = 65535 .TintAndShade = 0 .PatternTintAndShade = 0 End With End Sub
If you want the entire row AND COLUMN to highlight, add: With Selection.EntireColumn.Interior .Pattern = xlSolid .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic .Color = 65535 .TintAndShade = 0 .PatternTintAndShade = 0 End With Paul ----------------------------------------- “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley ----------------------------------------- ________________________________ From: Sundarvelan N <nsund...@gmail.com> To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Sent: Thu, October 25, 2012 8:00:16 AM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ By Default Highlight the row based on the location of the cursor like the attached excel Dear Gurus, Please help me to highlight the row based on the location of the cursor.
