Change cell color index with mouse click

[4thorns]

I'm trying to tweak the following script to apply only to 1 cell.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("h1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then
With Range("h1").Interior
.ColorIndex = 43
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Else
With Range("h1").Interior
.ColorIndex = x1None
End With
End If

End Sub


At this point when I click (h1) it changes to green but as soon as I click a different cell (H1) changes back to no color. Any thoughts?

Forgot to add that I want (H1) to change back to no color when I click it again.

OK. This works but I have about 20 different cells that I have to apply it to.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)


If Target.Address = "$E$9" Then

If Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then

Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 43

ElseIf Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 43 Then

Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

End If

End If



End Sub

As a guess:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

[s]If Target.Address = "$E$9" Then[/s]

If Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then

Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 43

ElseIf Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 43 Then

Target.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

End If

[s]End If[/s]

End Sub

Thanks MintJulep. Your version is actually the one I started with. The reason I added the other If/Then statement was to isolate the action to certain cells. The original changes any cell you click on in the entire sheet and the changes it back when you come back and click that cell again. My variation works but the "if target.address" statement now contains about 20 different "Or" statements to isolate the desired cells. It's morbidly obese. I'm sure there's a way to lighten it up. Just haven't found it yet.

You can create a range of discontinuous cells. Then your macro would only have to see if the cell in question is part of the range.

Thanks David. That sounds a lot easier. I Haven't used ranges very often but will definately look into it.
