Hi all,

Any good solutions to change cell color onces its being edited?

For example, I have a monthly report in excel format. In August all the
results are filled in. Then comes September, when I change the numbers
or words, those cells that are different (Edited) from August will have
a cell color changed say maybe yellow or blue. So as to differentiate
from those that are not edited. I know of the function in excel which is
Track Changes. I want something like that, but I want the cell to change
color and not highlighting it only.

So any one have any bright ideas to this? Thanks

Is this why you posted the same question twice but not in a different
color?!

Try using the change event for the cell(s) in question, you will need to
reset the cells to a neutral color first, maybe use a control button, then
as each cell is changed trigger a color change.
