Need Help with Excel (Row Highlighting)

One approach is to use a Worksheet_SelectionChange event sub to select the entire column and entire row when you click on a cell. Those cells will be highlighted in gray so you may easily tell where you are. The code to do this must be put in the code pane for the worksheet being watched, and the file must be saved with either .xlsm or .xlsb file extension.

'This code must go in the code pane of the worksheet being watched
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Union(Target.EntireRow, Target.EntireColumn).Select
Target.Activate
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

Ryan - this is very helpful as it allowed me to highlight the row and still continue to use the "Control F" feature.

byundt - for some reason, I couldn't use the "Control F" to search the spreadsheet for specific accounts but I loved how it highlighted both the row and column.

These examples use VBA.
Excel-Ruler.xlsm
Excel-Ruler-Style.xlsm
Excel-Ruler-Style-All-Sheets.xlsm

Useful stuffs too, thanks for sharing = )

I've used the first one for years.

The only issue with using Styles is that sometimes if a row contains different Styles then they can be over-written.
