Excel Macro: Change Cell Fill Color On & Off - Quick & Easy Toggle Macro
Learn how to write a very simple and very quick toggle macro in Microsoft Excel. This macro changes the fill color in a cell to a chosen color or removes the color if the cell is already filled with that color. It operates with a simple IF statement and is easy to create and a great example of how to create a toggle macro in the situation where you want to manage something that doesn't have a simple on/off type switch that you can use.

This is the code for the macro:
Sub switchColours()
If Selection.Interior.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent3 Then
Selection.Interior.ThemeColor = xlNone

Else
Selection.Interior.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent3
Selection.Interior.TintAndShade = 0.8
End If
End Sub
