I have an old Excel application that someone made, and I am wondering what this does:

Range("AF6") = "FALSE"

Edit: I discovered that it sets the cell to False. This changes the color of another cell, how does it do that?

    This is VBA short-form for setting the value of a range of cells (or in this case, a single cell). So the example you’ve provided will actually insert the text value “FALSE” into cell AF6.

    If the colour of the other cell is not being set in code, then I would suggest it was done through conditional formatting.
