Highlighting Rows/Columns

I haven't requested any help on my Sudoku game because it's finished and ready, but I like to play those on my cell phone and it has a feature I would like to add so attached is my request and I'm sure it will be easy for someone to solve.

As your attachment can very not handle any VBA procedure …

Marc L , please explain what your mean.

The workbook file format …

Anyway according to your attachment a beginner level starter with a worksheet event VBA procedure
so to paste only to the Sheet1 worksheet module :

PHP Code: 

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    With [B2:S10]
       .Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        If Intersect(Target(1), .Cells) Is Nothing Or (Target(1).Column And 1) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Select Case Target(1).Column
           Case Is < 8:     C = 2
           Case Is < 14:    C = 8
           Case Else:       C = 14
    End Select
    Select Case Target(1).Row
           Case Is < 5:     R = 2
           Case Is < 8:     R = 5
           Case Else:       R = 8
    End Select
        Union(.Columns(Target(1).Column - 1), .Rows(Target(1).Row - 1), Cells(R, C).Resize(3, 6)).Interior.ColorIndex = 20
    End With
End Sub

According to your attachment an Excel basics variation to paste only to the Sheet1 worksheet module :

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    With [B2:S10]
       .Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
        If Intersect(Target(1), .Cells) Is Nothing Or (Target(1).Column And 1) = 0 Then Exit Sub
        Union(.Columns(Target(1).Column - 1), .Rows(Target(1).Row - 1), _
              Cells(Application.Lookup(Target(1).Row, [{2,5,8}]), Application.Lookup(Target(1).Column, [{2,8,14}])) _
               .Resize(3, 6)).Interior.ColorIndex = 20
    End With
End Sub
