Reading Layout/cross highlighting of selected cell

Hello Microsoft team,

I was wondering if the reading layout/ cross highlighting of the cells selected has been implemented or added into the latest excel? If yes, where can I find it as I have searched high and low for it.

It would seem that I am required to use Microsoft Visual Basics to have this feature but even that has some cons as I am required to apply it to all my sheets.

So my question is that is there such a feature being added to Microsoft excel yet? If so, where can I find it? Any opinion on this matter is highly appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day

Regards,

John

    Hi @John Chew

    So my question is that is there such a feature being added to Microsoft excel yet?

    Based on my knowledge, there is no such feature currently.
