Shorter and neater way of doing it
Dim vRange As Range
Dim ws as Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("Vert E")
ws.Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
Set vRange = ws.Cells(2, 2)
ws.Activate
vRange.Select
note: avoid using Select
Update:
To apply some formatting to a cell without Selecting it use
below example changes the color of the cell
vRange.Interior.Color = RGB(200, 100, 50)
In VBE just type vRange.Interior.
and make use of the VBE Intellisense which should help you a bit by listing the available properties of the Interior class.
The best way to apply formatting to a cell is to do it while recording a macro and then editing the code in the VBE.
