Highlight current row selection

Hello There,

In one of my earlier post, regarding highlighting Table's current row selection was solved.
You can refer the above link for the working of a table's current row selection example.

I would like to know, how this can be worked out (VBA Code) without a table in a worksheet. Here the indicator column would be Column A.
If the current row selection has any value then:
-the indicator column A's cell should highlight a Yellow colour.
-rowheight = 25
-horizontal center aligned
-row = bold
If the current row selection has any no value then:
-it should do nothing.
When the user leaves the selection, the row should be back to it's previous state

Please find attached a sample workbook for your reference.

Thank you and look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Don

        Rows(Target.Row).Font.Bold = True
        Target.RowHeight = 25
        Cells(Target.Row, 1).Interior.Color = vbYellow

Thank you very much RDAngelo for your VBA code.
There is just one catch. When I navigate to a new row, it leaves the trail behind (yellow highlighting and rowheight = 25) in the previous last row clicked. On click to a new row, the previous clicked row should get back it's formatting and rowheight? How can this be resolved?

...On click to a new row, the previous clicked row should get back it's formatting and rowheight...
Unless you pre-define the range of the table to include blank rows, your constraints are in contradiction.

Hi RDAngelo

Thank you for your reply.

I suppose I must have mixed it up with the working of the excel table solution and made it unclear. My apologies.

I have attached a sample workbook for your reference and also how this would work.
As you mentioned about the pre-defined range: If the range can be dynamically derived as seen in the sample workbook.

It would be wonderful to see this working. Looking forward for it.

Regards,
Don

Try this version...
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim rg As Range, c As Range
    Set rg = Sheet1.Cells(4, 1).CurrentRegion.Offset(1)
    Set c = Application.Intersect(Target, rg)
    If Not c Is Nothing Then
        rg.ClearFormats
        rg.RowHeight = 15
        Rows(Target.Row).Font.Bold = True
        Target.RowHeight = 25
        Cells(Target.Row, 1).Interior.Color = vbYellow
    Else
        rg.ClearFormats
        rg.RowHeight = 15
    End If
End Sub
