highlight entire selected range value row
Folks
I have a combo box that selects from values in column A
i.e.
A B
British Airways UK
Qantas AUS
Lufthansa Germany
If I select from the list in the combo box, how can my macro then highlight the entire selected row in the excel sheet itself based on my choice
so if for example I select Qanta from colum a, both qantas and AUS will be highlighted in

The combobox is in a form or on a sheet?

on a sheet
here is the code
Private Sub ComboBox1_gotfocus()
Dim r As Long
r = Sheet1.Range("A1").Offset(
With ComboBox1
.ColumnCount = 2
.List = Range("A2:B" & r).Value
End With
End Sub
here is the code
Private Sub ComboBox1_gotfocus()
Dim r As Long
r = Sheet1.Range("A1").Offset(
With ComboBox1
.ColumnCount = 2
.List = Range("A2:B" & r).Value
End With
End Sub
I have named the upper left cell of the range as StartCell, then add this code:
Dim ItemPosition As Long
Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
ItemCode = ComboBox1.List(ComboBox1.L
Sheet1.Range("StartCell").
Sheet1.Range("StartCell").
End Sub
Change the color as you wish. Yo can also use RGB and the command becomes .Interior.Color = RGB(200,160,35)
Dim ItemPosition As Long
Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
ItemCode = ComboBox1.List(ComboBox1.L
Sheet1.Range("StartCell").
Sheet1.Range("StartCell").
End Sub

Sorry the Dim is: Dim ItemCode as Double

thanks for the solution, this wasnt a direct code fix in the macro but I used this sample and
opted the CF format instead and it works smoothly

rutgermons, I've added a comment right after the code posting saying that the Ddim was wrong and it shoud've been: Dim ItemCode as Double
