Hi,
I am still learning VBA and am trying to write some code that will delete all rows in the ActiveSheet.UsedRange where the cell color is not RGB(255, 255, 0), so the only remaining rows will those where this cell color appears.
Hope someone can advise - and many thanks in advance,
TE
 
To save row 1 don't start from I=1 but I = 2:
VBA Code:
For I = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, TCol).End(xlUp).Row
If that resolves the problem then it'd be better to mark the discussion as Resoved; see the procedure: Mark as Solution
Many thanks - that worked perfectly - I have marked your last reply as "resolved solution".

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Apologies, I know this a few weeks old now, but I have been using the code for a while and wonder if there is a way that a message could pop up if there are no yellow cells found in the range.

Many thanks,
TE

Try adding this "Else" condition at the end of the macro:
VBA Code:
If yCnt > 0 And Not R2K Is Nothing Then
    ActiveSheet.Copy after:=ActiveSheet     'AA-Original sheet backup copy
    Sheets(ActiveSheet.Index - 1).Select    'BB
    R2K.Delete
Else
    MsgBox ("No any Yellow cell in the worksheet")
End If
End Sub

Hi - many thanks for that - this works if there are no yellow cells, however. if all cells in that column are yellow, the message still appears saying "No any Yellow cell in the worksheet". Here is the full code I am using:

VBA Code:
    Dim CCol As Long, TCol As String
    Dim I As Long, R2K As Range, yCnt As Long
    '
    TCol = "A"
    CCol = RGB(255, 255, 0)
    'CCol = Range("H1").Interior.Color   '<<< 2-ALTERNATE METHOD
    '
    For I = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, TCol).End(xlUp).Row ' Change I = 1 to I = 2 to retain column headers
        If Cells(I, TCol).Interior.Color = CCol Then
            yCnt = yCnt + 1
        Else
            If R2K Is Nothing Then
                Set R2K = Rows(I)
            Else
                Set R2K = Application.Union(R2K, Rows(I))
            End If
        End If
    Next I
    If yCnt > 0 And Not R2K Is Nothing Then
        R2K.Delete
    Else
        MsgBox ("No any Yellow cell in the worksheet")
    End If

Replace the Else with an ElseIf:
VBA Code:
ElseIf yCnt = 0 Then
    MsgBox ("No any Yellow cell in the worksheet")
End If
