  Hello, Cenk,
  The macro name is the macro code you have inserted into the Excel file, and you just need to change the Macro1 in the above code to your own.
  For example, i insert a code here, and the macro name is: ColorCompanyDuplicates
  
  Sub ColorCompanyDuplicates()
  'Updateby Extendoffice 20160704
  Dim xRg As Range
  Dim xTxt As String
  Dim xCell As Range
  Dim xChar As String
  Dim xCellPre As Range
  Dim xCIndex As Long
  Dim xCol As Collection
  Dim I As Long
  On Error Resume Next
  If ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Count > 1 Then
  xTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.AddressLocal
  Else
  xTxt = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.AddressLocal
  End If
  Set xRg = Application.InputBox("please select the data range:", "Kutools for Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)
  If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
  xCIndex = 2
  Set xCol = New Collection
  For Each xCell In xRg
  On Error Resume Next
  xCol.Add xCell, xCell.Text
  If Err.Number = 457 Then
  xCIndex = xCIndex + 1
  Set xCellPre = xCol(xCell.Text)
  If xCellPre.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then xCellPre.Interior.ColorIndex = xCIndex
  xCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xCellPre.Interior.ColorIndex
  ElseIf Err.Number = 9 Then
  MsgBox "Too many duplicate companies!", vbCritical, "Kutools for Excel"
  Exit Sub
  End If
  On Error GoTo 0
  Next
  End Sub

What's the point of the condition? It'll always return true...in other words: it'll run without it. This also runs whenever any cells on the sheet change value.

Thanks a lot! This really helped me out.
Is there any method to retrieve the address of the changed cell (with formula i.e Column C in this example).
Thanks.
